I've been dancing for almost 9 months, 8 of them at one club. Things used to be pretty good there, but its going downhill for many different reasons. First of all, things were never super amazing at this club, but it was convenient and I was happy there, as it was a very friendly and drama free club. But:
1. The money has gone wayyyyy downhill lately. I went from averaging around 250 dollars per shift to averaging about 100 in the last month. Tonight I'm about ready to freak out, cause I only made 60 dollars in 8 hours. That's less than minimum wage!
2. There has been soooo much more drama lately. Things went from friendly and fun to too friendly and hurt feelings between a lot of girls, and they're always trying to draw me deeper into the issues going on between them and pick sides. But I've always been the type of girl to go in, make my money, be fun and silly with the other girls, and then go home. A lot of them have been developing complex OTC relationships with each other though.
3. There was a huge influx of new girls. They constantly break rules and it drives me crazy and cuts into everyone's money.
So anyway, now that I've gotten that long stuff out of the way, I don't know what to do. I know that the obvious answer is to swith clubs. But I'm in Eugene, Oregon, and its not that easy. The nicest club in town is super bitchy, and is well known for that fact. I'm at pretty much the second nicest, IMO. I've heard that the money is better at the more divey places, but I feel weird about it... like I'm downgrading or something.
I could also travel to the Star's in Salem or in Bend (a little more than an hour's commute). Or I could go try somewhere in Portland, although that's a 2 hour commute. I could also try to do private parties. AGHHH what should I do???
