So my ATF keeps getting into a vicious cycle. She works a few days, gets burned out and quits, then comes back the next week. In the past I have never been super worried as I knew she would come back but this time is different as her GF got a 9-5 job to start paying the bills.
I want to suggest her moving to a different club one where she can show up for a few hours and then leave. I pay a substantial percentage of her income and I don't stay at the club for more than 1-2 hours. This would eliminate the negative interactions that lead to her burning out.
My plan is to scope out a few of the small dive clubs in the area and ask dancers about the fee structure. Then make a pitch for the idea. I think if I do the research first then it's more likely to get her to go for it.
Next I was planning on setting it up a little more like a SD/SB relationship. So she would be exclusive to me during those shifts that I was going to show up. That eliminates the possibility of her having negative customer interactions, reduces catty-ness between dancers over money, and exclusivity is sort of cool.


Ugh, you do realize that to get a job at a club you have to audition, get hired and then work whatever shift or a certain number of days a week for a while. If she has to work 3 day shifts a week to be able to work weekend nights its not worth it to her for example. And you honestly believe she tells you about all her tricks???? If you're paying most of her income she wouldn't be dancing lol
