I took a leave of absence from dancing yesterday. I have just not been able to make any money lately and I know it is just my attitude towards dancing.
The past few weeks of dancing, I have been running into more and more fucking perverts. All of them licking my body after telling them not to and one guy grabbed me and tried sticking his tongue down my throat. I punched him in the solar plexus and then the floor guy came over and kicked him out. And, here I'm thinking "All of this for $20 measley dollars?". But, if I get really technical, it's all for about $12 after the tip-outs, etc.
I like dancing, but I have just about reached my boiling point of dealing with customers who have no respect for my chosen profession and absolutely no clue as to the proper behavior in the club environment. I told management that I needed to take a break before I really punched the shit out of the next customer who did that. Of course, as I was walking out of the office and getting ready to leave, I felt like the biggest loser ever. I feel better, but at the same time, I feel worse. ARGH!
Management was really cool and told me to call them when I was ready to come back and they would put me back on the roster. I think maybe I'll take the summer off (and bartend at one of the local clubs/bars that has a summer patio/tiki bar) and then maybe try dancing again in the fall (when traffic picks up).
Well, just had to get that off my chest.

Good luck, and kick some ass when you come back.
