    Default To dance or not to dance....

    I have a bit of a situation, thought I could use some help....

    I have been dancing from age 17-23. Then I decided to hang up my shoes for awhile. I was needing a break. I'm in a relationship, we were together for my last 2 years of dancing till now. And I have a daughter who's starting first grade in August.

    Problem is, is that I've tried the "normal" job thing, and well I just don't like it. Getting paid every 2 weeks kills me, and it's not even half of what I used to cut on stage. I just got laid off :'(, wasn't expecting that at all. My boyfriend prefers me not going back to the clubs. He says I'm in a much better mood now that I don't dance. And where I do not agree, that I am a bit nicer, I would rather dance than go any more in debt than i already am. My little girl is in private school, and I would like to keep her there. But working a "normal" job just isn't cutting it.

    So my question is, ???do I continue to look for other types of jobs, or just give in and hit the stage?? ??? I can't deny during my last year of dancing though I had hit rock bottom.....I moved from Louisiana to Washington state just to get away from the scene....

    Do I really want to go back???

    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here, we might as well dance!

    It would be hard to give you advice about returning to dancing. I'd talk to your BF, but it sounds like you are pretty torn up about it. It's a decision you are going to have to make for yourself. You could always try it again and quit if you don't like it.
    As far as you being a nicer person now, that is a choice you make. How you behave at home is up to you.
    Good luck!

    you know maybe do what I'm thinking, go back for a while get some money do a bar course and do bartending, I mean some of those bartenders make good tips, it's not dancer money BUT, you get to keep your mind and your clothes on, it's hard decision I know.
    I'm here to make money. NOT make friends, if I make a friend then it's a bonus.

    I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous that absolutely boring
