    i am a professional dancer and studying at sichuan university for 4 years.am a foreign student. i do dancing as a part time job. i mainly do stage shows ,any inauguration functions ,charity functions like that….

    recently i have been offered to perform in a KTV as a part time job from night 8 – 11 pm . the problem is , am not familiar with this KTV thing and never been to a KTV during these years.

    is it a safe place ??what kind of people come there ? is it ok do part time job there ? i heard the hostessess there face a lot of problems when i asked some of my friends . well , am not working as a hostessess.

    details of what they offered : one performance ( 5 minutes ) in one room and then you change the room. will be from 8-11pm. may be 4 or 5 days a week. 1000 yuans one day .

    please give some suggestions and opnions about performing in a ktv..

    What country are you from, and are you a male or female? How many 5 minute performances are you supposed to do between 8-11pm?

    If you do this every night, five days a week, you’ll be making 20k a month, which is pretty great money in Chengdu, especially for 3 hours a day. However, it is lower than the average amount that dancers make per performance. I’d say the average price for a foreign dancer (lets say, American or Canadian) would be 1,000 – 1,500rmb for one or two performances of about 10 minutes each.

    Then again, the catch with those types of gigs is that they’re irregular, so a dancer of that type will have a difficult time making 20k unless they have tours booked solid. Between 2007-2010 or so it was common to see dancers and DJ’s in that situation but it’s very rare now, especially in this region of China.

    Hope this helps!
