    Default I gotta get this off my chest

    Alright, I've been out of the game for almost 6 months, and I left so abruptly without being smart and planning every single thing out. Now the finances are NEGATIVE and I have been auditioning at some clubs. I worked at a slightly ghetto club to stay out of the craziness of the city clubs, but that didn't work out. I felt stupid dancing there. I didn't know if it was the ghetto spot, or dancing but I left after one night. So I went back to the city and auditioned at another club. I was told I was gonna get hired, but i never received a phone call. So, discouraged, I retreated back home. Now, with things becoming so late that threats were coming, I'm going to go to another club to audition at. I would like to go back to my old club because of the flexability, and the comfort level, but it has begun to be something else with the ways girls are going about making money. I just hate this, when you're going in to make money and it's not coming. You think you're done with dancing because you've been at it for a while, and truth is you're not because the money situation is not straight. I definitely have a different perspective on dancing, I just don't want to go back into that same loop again. Does any of this make sense?
    Happy Birthday......Mr. President.

    The underlying point beneath your frustration (and mine) is that we wish that it were still possible to earn the same kind of money working in clubs that it was possible to earn a few years ago, while still only providing the same levels of 'contact' as were typical a few years ago. Unfortunately, the industry continues to undergo 'negative' changes in regard to earnings potential and 'competitive' contact levels. This is the reason that I retired from live dancing, because I simply was not willing to get with the current program re expected contact levels in the tri-state area, and I was also tired of dancing on the road in order to find clubs that still provided decent earnings potential with acceptable contact levels.

    As you point out, however, if you are under a financial strain there are few 'jobs' available that can provide the earnings potential of dancing to help alleviate that strain. But it also seems to be the case that custy's can 'smell' financial desparation on the part of a particular dancer, and can then attempt to use that desparation to their advantage in terms of demanding high contact and/or extras.

    Perhaps you could try something else, like waitressing at a restaurant or cocktailing at a sc? At least you will still make cash every night.

    If you are willing to drive out of the city, i really liked working dayshift at Lace in West Nyack. Much more laid back than the city and no extras that i knew of during the day.

    I go to school full time so daytime is out of the question for me. I'll look in Lace in West Nyack..but wasn't that raided along with all the other Lace clubs? I'd like to waitress or do cocktail, but in nyc, experience matters, and since I have done nothing but dance for the past few years, I really don't have anything to offer interms of experience. There is a lounge in my neighborhood whoch is accepting applications, I just don't know how to word my resume.

    Thanks for the great advice and support guys, you're the best!!!
    Happy Birthday......Mr. President.

    Yeah, I can't do Vegas now. My friend lives out there and she said whenever I can come out, she'll get me into her club. But I have to wait until the semester is over which is about another 6 weeks away. I have a bartenders liscence with very little experience, so I'll just give ot a shot with the lounge in my neighborhood. I will also audition at a couple more clubs just incase and hope for the best!!
