I love being a house dancer and consider myself to do pretty damn well, and I'm not in the position to travel all the time- I have to stay rooted in the area because of school, etc. However, ever since I started dancing I've really been wanting to do theme sets with costumes and music, the whole bit. I love performing and I've been in theatre for a long time, and I always get complimented on my stage performances even though I consider them borrrinnngg because they don't have a gimmick or anything novelty about them, at least by my standards. The only problem is that every club I've ever been to/worked at- NONE of the girls dress up in costumes or do this. It's pretty standard to just create a file and let the DJ pick your music out of your file for your next set, and just wear the same (standard two piece) thing all night.
Is there a way around this? Would it be incredibly awkward to attempt using costumes and ask the DJ to play theme music to match? If I were to change into a theme costume- would I wear it all night, or would it be better to change out of it? Would it seem like I'm trying too hard, or attempting to upstage the features that sometimes come in? I don't mind standing out- but there's a fine line between being a "cut above the rest" and just looking plain ridiculous.
I have no idea how to go about this! I've done private parties with costumes and stuff, but I would just love to do the same thing in a club. Any suggestions? And if anyone knows of a club in San Francisco (I've looked on the club reviews but found nothing) that encourages theme shows, let me know! Thanks!
