This summer has been exceptionally dead, even down at the usually-packed Jersey shore. A dancer friend of mine who's been in the business for a while, keeps suggesting that I travel up to Conneticut to dance. She says that she heard the money is really good up there and contrary to PA and NJ, summertime is THE busy time for Conneticut strip clubs...averaging over $1000/night. She suggested the clubs Rock Star, Ruby's II, and Gold Club. Can anyone comment on this? Has anyone worked at these clubs, or traveled to them for temporary summer work? How is the money, and are they open to hiring temporary dancers?
As much as it sounds like a money-making idea, I'm not yet sold on the idea...I don't like the idea of a long commute, and I'm really getting burned out on dancing. My goal is NOT to be a career dancer, but to only do this until I get a full-time job in my field. I'm not a good salesperson by nature, and I realized a while ago that dancing is not something I want to do past a few more years or shorter. If I dance in Conneticut, I would have to postpone my jobsearching, and that could taint my resume more than it already is with a big unemployment gap. Plus, I need to show job verification to my probation officer, so I'm desperately seeking a "regular" job so that I won't have to tell him that I'm a stripper(embarrassing and being in an environment stereotyped to be "closer to drugs" won't exactly help my cause with probation). What do you guys think I should do? And should I try Conneticut, or are there any other good money-making ideas?
