    Default Dancing is getting to me..I think, already sick of it

    Ive been back to dancing for a while now after a few years break.

    I dont even work often like 1 or 2 days a week. But its like I have no motivation and when I do get off my ass and go all Im thinking about it hustling hard so I can get the hell out. Im pretty much grossed out with the place and the sleazy handsy customers that come in. They pretty always want "extras" and you cant give a lap dance without being groped or licked Why am i so exhausted I dont work much?!

    So, I guess maybe Im just not cut out for this any more...but at the same time Im like hell Im only 23 I better get all the money I can now!

    Anyone in the same boat?

    Yes and I blame it on Houston. I don't want to quit dancing, but this city seriously wears you out. I'm going apartment hunting this summer so I'm going to try a club in New Orleans. If it possible for you to travel at all? Dancing here just isn't worth it anymore to me. So yeah, I know exactly how you feel.

    PS. I thought we were gonna do dinner sometime

    No, I'm moving to Baton Rouge but the club in New Orleans hires traveling dancers. And I could definately do next Thursday, tommorrow I babysit for my neighbor, my sister is in town, I have finals next week, and I'm trying to work the OTC. How has the club been? It's good to hear from you

    Don't beat yourself up or tell yourself you're "lazy." You're not. There is a reason you're only working on day a week and feeling exhausted all 7.

    This happened to me. I was working in a great money club that just didn't "fit." I was never comfortable. They had no schedule so I could just come in whenever I wanted. Well, that started out as 3 days a weeks and over the course of 6-8 months turned into 1, if that. The less I worked it seemed the more exhausted I got. Just thinking about going in and dealing with it all made me curl up in a little ball and stay in bed.

    I switched to a club that I had worked at in the past and been more comfortable at. They have a schedule so I have to work the same three days every week. Yeah, this is labor abuse and that sucks, but dammit, it's helped me so MUCH. I don't get to obsess about whether or not to go in on a particular night and end up putting it off until the next night and then the next night, etc. and eventually not going in for over a week and beating myself up for being a lazy ass and blah, blah, blah...downward spiral. If it's work night, it's work night. Now I go into work my three nights no problem and have energy to do things the other 4 days. Go figure.

    Just my experience. I recommend switching clubs (and maybe cities--Houston will suck your soul, from what I hear) and getting on a set schedule to take some of the pressure off of you to get yourself into work.

    aw..

    yeah i feel the same way sometimes.

    what i try to do is remeber how lucky i am to strip...i think of my other friends saying they HAVE to work certain days, get paid alot less..and have to mind a boss and annoying custoemrs(but cant be rude to them back, of course!)

    so i try not to take dancing for granted. while i can set my own schedule, i always aim for 4 days a week. i make my "schedule" at the begininng of week so i will stick to it.

    even though i dont know how houston is because i never danced there, i think balletbaby is right. maybe u should find another club to work in if that ain't doing it for yah.

    Well, thank you all for your input.

    Actually when I first started dancing years ago I worked 3-4 days a week, set shifts but at one point it started making me physically and mentally ill. I was getting depressed and angry and wanted to stab my stilletto into every guys crotch.

    I think I would probably be better off at a different club that gives u a set schedule but Houston doesnt work that way. Not to mention the handsy guys will always be a problem and its sure to get worse. Traveling may be an option though...I dunno. I think Im hangin up the shoes atleast for a while. Ive been thinking alot about what I wanna do and I just dont think dancing is fulfilling to me whatsoever, its bringing me down. Money will be very tight once again but I guess I will just have to adjust to this life without luxuries :/

    Balletbaby-damn you have a busy life right now! Then next Thursday sounds good. Will PM you later

    oh i don't live in housten but had to check who posted this becuse its exactly how i am feeling and I thought i posted it myself lol. I think i was spoiled at my home club back in ga they had strict contact rules and its just not like that in louisville. Its been emotionaly draining on me as well some nites i feel like a piece of meat on stage but i quess to some small degree thats what the job is to be a fantasy women so i started expecting that and trying out diffent lap dance teginiques i call "definsive dancing" to avoid unwanted contact.

    Man, I am totally certified in defensive dancing lol! The clubs out there may not be as bad as houston though i dunno. the majority of the guys here have NO respect you could slap them and theyll say "oh that was hot do it again" ,if youre turned around struggling to get away from a guy trying to enter the no zone, he will tighten his grip and stab your bootyhole with his finger as you escape. You felt like a peice of meat on stage? The stage was my safe zone. Its just not healthy, mentally and emotionally.

    I know after going back to dancing after a year off, it was easy at first but when winter hit I couldn't deal with it. In March, I had a breakdown and since I still can't stomach the idea of going back. It's not dancing or entertaining as I LOVE both as it's fun and liberating...However, I can no longer stand the types of people that come in and their expectations of "extras". I've been criticized for being "weak" but for all the money you can make there is a high price to pay at times. Lately, I've been hard on cash and have really wanted to go back, but every time I start to feel physically ill and nervous...so I stay in.

    The business isn't what it used to be and that's pretty much what ruined it for me. Trouble making girls, drama, management issues, and more drama...Things I don't like handling at all.

    Guys no longer want entertainment, they want sex. Plain and simple. They not only want sex but they want it pretty cheap LOL...and it's sad bc it's not what the business is about but what it's becoming. Money drives this business and since entertainment is cheapened by prostitutes...that's where it shall end up.

    nothing just wondering what kinda job would make an ex dancer happy. some of us get so used to the fast easy money. I remember when i first started dancing an older dancer told me not to ever start because the money will be addicting and u will get stuck. but i guess i just need to find something fullfilling even if its not much $. Not sure what i really want to do yet

    What's an IA? Love Best Buy. Guilty pleasure on Saturdays used to be to walk around the store and gawk at all the TVs, PCs and whatnot. Broke myself of this pretty useless habit finally.

    Dancing is really a love/hate relationship for me. Suprisingly, when I work more often, I see more results, and I love it. It's easier to get into the zone and block all the negative crap out. I'm super stripper when things are familiar. When I only dance infrequently, I have a hard time getting into stripper mode and it's easier to feel vulnerable and shy. My stripper persona is so different than my real one that it can be exhausting putting on the act all night. I always question whether I'm capable and have fat days, but I feel better when the night is over.

    Thumbs up Re: Dancing is getting to me..I think, already sick of it

    Well it's different for everyone...If you're dancing purely for the money, you don't last long...True dancers who are successful are in it as a career, and it leads to porn or look at Dita Von Teese. There is nothing wrong with that either, but only certain people can handle it. The ones in it just for money need to get in and get out ASAP, have a real job outside of it to rely on and focus on your true dreams. It's sort of like a "get out of jail" card if you use it right. Don't get into shopping sprees and drugs.

    For me, photography and art are my passions. Entertainment/dancing was fun for me, but it wasn't what I wanted for my 10 year career plan. I danced to clear out debts, buy new equipment, and work towards my business in getting a studio. The problem I had was that I forgot the money isn't consistent and blew most of my money, then during the slow season I screwed myself over by moving out too early and with the wrong people.

    Never forget that money can come easy but there is a price, depending on who you are and what you can deal with. Life is what you make it, thank god!

    Exclamation Re: Dancing is getting to me..I think, already sick of it

    An IA is an inventory analyst, basically printing up daily reports to make sure that the store has what the reports pull up and making sure to order what the store is out of.
