OK, we all have bad nights. But sometimes a bad night turns into a bad week, then a couple of bad weeks. You're confidence gets really low and you start to dread going to work. All of a sudden, working retail for $8/hr doesn't sound so bad. You hate all of your outfits, you hate your club, your regulars bore you and you feel fat. You know what I'm talking about?
I've been dancing about a year and a half and I seem to go through a slump every four or five months. It's incredibly frustrating. All of sudden I feel like a newbie again, like I've learned nothing in all these months. I vaguely remember that I used to be an awesome hustler, but I can barely beleive I'm the same person. It seems like I've just forgotten how. I'm scared that I'll never make money as a dancers again...it's over for me! Of course, eventually the slump just passes, and I start making money again and feeling good. But damn!
I wanna know about other people's slumps. How often do they happen? How long do they last? Are slumps just for relative newbies, or do experienced dancers have them too? Is there something you do to pull yourself out, or do you just sit tight and wait for the slump to pass?
