    Default Dancers only! How many shifts do you work a week?

    Dancers only! Just curious how often most of us work per week.

    Edit: Allowed multiple choice because I work 4-5 nights a week in the summer, and 2 nights a week during the school year.

    I like to only work 2 - 4 shifts a week. When I have 5 to 6 shifts a week, I get burned out quickly and in turn end up making less because I am less socialable.

    When I first started, it was 7 days a week because everyone at the club was on schedule. Now I work 3 or 4 shifts. Maybe more if it is slow.

    6, sometimes 7(fuck Emily we're workaholics)... I do bookings though that require 6 days out of you. My day usually starts between noon and 2pm and I work till 2am. The days fly by and I dont really notice them.. I spend my day off on a plane or just zonked out in my room.

    Sometimes I can go 5-6 if I'm in a mood, but usually just 2-4. If I make really good money in three days, I'm usually done for the week.

    yeah, 12 hours is a lot for 6-7 days a week!

    I only do 4-5 hour shifts, which is why I don't burn out.

    Yea but im not working the floor for those 12 hours... usually its like a 2pm show then another one around 6pm or something like that, unless im in Winnipeg then I have shows starting at noon and then one every half hour to an hour then a 3 hourish break then I start again in the evening... the shows there are fucked up its a 12 - 13 hour day but its not a consistant working non stop day..

    When I danced full time I treated it like a fulltime job and worked at least 5 days a week. Now I do other work and try to work 2 nights a week to put more $$ towards a house.

    I like to work non-weekends. So Sunday, Tuesday, Wed and Thursday, keeping the possiblity of Fri or Sat open if I don't meet my weekly goals. (Mondays are so, on average, negative for me that I prefer to just skip it.)

    Default Re: Dancers only! How many shifts do you work a week?

    I work Wednesday through Saturday, from 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., and Sundays from 12-7ish or later if I'm doing well.

    My challenge is that I have to get to work by 8:00 to avoid paying a higher house fee and I always get ready at work, which takes at least an hour and a half! So I'm really not starting work until 9:30 or 10:00, realistically. My goal right now is to arrive at work ready to work so I can actually worki more than 4 or 5 hour shifts!

    Usually 3 or 4 days. However that has been cut to only occasional weekend bookings lately as I am pregnant and tired and ready to retire.

    i try to do 4 nights/week (monday, thurs.- sat), but it usually ends up being only 3 (mon, thurs, and friday). my shifts are overnight, usually 6 or 7 hours. I can't work more than 2 or 3 days in a row either, i burn out very easily. kudos to anyone who can do more
