    Small town girl moving to the city... I wanna dance for only a couple of months to help me get into school, but all of the people I car about are against it. THe only time I get nervous about my sexuality and being in the nude is when I talk about it with my friends. They say I could do better, and to not sell myself short. But I think, hey- it's good fast money and it can really help me get on my feet. What do you guys think? Will I lose my self esteem because I'm "selling out"? Will I be taken care of in the club? And perhaps most importantly, will I make good money? I mean really, is it like 150 a night, or 1,500 a night?

    Will you be taken care of? Emphatically - NO. Now you might meet some nice people who will give you pointers every now and then, but your level of sucess will be solely determined by you.

    How much can you earn? It varies. You can do your best to try to position yourself in a good club on a good shift, but even then earnings will vary greatly. Put two dancers of the same level of looks in the same club on the same shift, and one might bank, while the other goes home wondering how she barely made more than tip out. None of us on here can really answer what your earning potential is accurately because none of use have have met you or know what kind of worker you are.

    Dancing is not easy. Yeah, it has its good nights. Dancing can take a toll on a person physically, mentally and spiritually. Will you loose you're self esteem? That depends on you. How self confident you are, and how strong willed you are. You may meet some great people who will tip you big and really give your ego a boost, and you may meet some real dopes who will insult you and try to pick on your every flaw. How you react to those situations and get through them will depend on what's inside of you.

    The best way to discover if dancing is right for you is to learn for yourself. Go visit a few places. See what it's like. Get a feel for the surroundings. If you like it, you can audition or do an amateur night. Even if you get hired and start to work, you may decide it's not the thing for you. One of the great parts about dancing is if you don't like it, it's really easy to quit. You won't be bound by any contracts, and you can pretty much just leave when you want. If it works out great! If not, chalk it up to a learning experience.

    Luckily you've found this site, and it can be a great resource. Try to take in as much information as possible, and like I said go visit clubs. That way if you decide to go for it, you will have made an informed decision and less likely to regret which ever direction you decide to go.

    Best of luck!
    If you can't win. Make the fellow in front of you break the record.

    dancing is probably the best money you will ever make in your life. i lost a few friends who said i was a dirty stripper and lost respect for me, but now i can go to college and buy a new car and survive in this world. so i decided to dance, because my survival and my future was more important to me than what everybody else thought. but dancing isn't really "easy money", you will have bad nights especially when you're new and you will have to work hard to become a good dancer. the good thing is that you can choose where you wanna work and you don't have to do anything you don't wanna do. if the club is treating you like shit, find a different club. and if a guy wants to touch you and you don't wanna be touched, tell him no and walk away. dancing will make your self-esteem go up as long as you don't take any bullshit. everything is totally up to you. i'm fairly new to dancing and work in a small club but i average $250 a night. i have never made over $1000 in one night, i think you would have to be a really good dancer and/or work in an upscale, busy club to make that much. anyway good luck to you!
