installing aerial silks?

Wow randomgurlie that sounds like some great advice – I love the idea of having a dvd as a resume! Just curious – I know all venues are different and it depends on the city, length of performance, and a lot of other factors, but roughly how much money could you make by performing at an event? I've never done it before so i have no idea…

Thanks for all the info RandomGurlie =) I will have to read thru it again to digest it all! hehe
It's tough in Vegas, I expected competition from people who are already super amazing. I saw that coming & I don't feel too awful to lose a gig to someone who has superior skills. What I did NOT see coming, was gigs going to girls with little to no skill who just achieve some "look" that the venue prefers. I have worked plenty of promotional model jobs, so I know my look is marketable but admittedly it is not the overtly sexual Vegas look. It has surprised & frustrated me to see that I work & try so hard to be legitimately good at what I do only to find out that the people paying for this act may or may not even care if you're any good.
As far as other skills, I have also worked with fire dancing & eating and I perform an act called Grinder Girl which many people have not heard of. I have a 30 pound steel costume that I wear and shoot sparks off my body with an angle grinder. It's a super fun act & people love it.
I guess I should try to find an agent. It's all about who you know here & I keep wondering Where is the person I have to meet? Who is that person? haha
Anyhow, thanks for the info again, take care! =)

You can get the nylon silk fabric from fabricdepot online. Its much less expensive than some of the other sites. Its about 8 dollars a yard.
If you want a rig for your yard that you can practice on try http://www.aerialdancing.com
I purchased the tripod rig this year and love it. Very easy to put up and down in less than 10 minutes.
