I've never danced before, but I am seriously considering incorporating it as a part of a working vacation. I am interested in travelling somewhere interesting for 2-3 months and working in a club to support myself and possibly bank some cash.
My big questions are:

1) Is there a legal way for a Canadian to dance in US?How about other international destinations?

2) I also work as a commercial actor and I do have aspirations of acting professionally...do you think I should stay away from dancing anc stick to waitressing? I know some big name actresses used to dance or work in strip clubs...but do you think it is a career ruiner?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
