Has anything changed in how you rate clubs?

As I age I take the overall “vibe” and mood into consideration more. I also am paying more and more attention to what shitty music most clubs play now; primarily rap and hip hop. I am also more sensitive to the volume they play the music at. My two local favorite clubs play it ridiculously loud such that conversation is nearly impossible which really sucks.

All I know I have a good idea what I don't like, and I can avoid that now. Your sort of figure that out over time.

I'm definitely more selective than I used to be. There are clubs in my town that have opened the past few years I haven't even walked in. I've started to go back to doing a tryout ITC before OTC, at least in my own backyard. During the COVID years and a little afterward I just sort of decided on the girls at home for convenience, but it takes too much time so I'd rather weed them out before connecting OTC. So I need the club to be suitable for me putting a dancer through her paces, so if the club isn't good for that I'm not going to bother.
