I know one who is 47, has more cottage cheese on her ass than any other dancer I know, but makes a killing...she's not hot, she's not a very good dancer, but that girl can talk anybody's socks off. It really depends. If you are in good shape emotionally and think you can handle all the ups and downs of the buisness, and can find one that will let you work for them, then go for it. Just know that it's not "easy money" it takes time to learn the ropes. Your the only person who can judge if you're too old or not. My only advice to you really is that if you do decide to dance now, you would probably make more money on a day shift versus the night where most of the girls are super young, and the atmosphere gears more towards partying.

Absolutely not. I first started dancing when I was 31. Made a bunch of money (in a very good club), retired from dancing after 3 years and started a business, without taking loans or going into debt. I ended up shutting that business down when my daughter was young; the hours were too much, and taking a "regular" job. I recently lost a so called regular job, and, being the mother of a young child, guess what I went back to at the age of 41. No, I don't look my age, but I sure as hell don't look 20 either. I make as much as, and more than, some of the young girls there. I'm also old enough not to get caught up in a lot of the other crap tht you run into in this profession. I have my own clientelle, with probably 70% of them under the age of thirty. You may also have an advantage because once you've been out inn the world a while, it's easier to talk to a large variety of people. The most important thing you need to worry about, is that despite the fact that this is a fantasy thing for a lot of women, you have to remeber that it's a job, and like any other, it can be a pain in the ass at times. Just like any other job though, you have to take it seriously. As for looks, yep, they're important, but not everything. There are girls at my club that wouldn't have what a lot of people consider the look that a dancer should have, yet they make great money. Find the right club for you, and the potential is there.

scheherezade, what city do you work in? I'm 33 and I keep thinking I might want to try dancing again but I feel like the old new girl. I only danced a little bit before, like hardly enough to count.

i'm sure that 43 isn't too old to BE stripping, but to START stripping is another matter. i'd definately make sure you've got some moves and routines down before you audition!

Some people say 43 is too old or pushing it but what it really comes down to is how YOU feel about yourself & look. To be honest with you I used to work with a 48 year old who was no model but she always got dances somehow.. also I worked with a woman who was about 3 times what her weight should be & she banked as well.. they must've had really really good game.

Maybe you should just do it for a short period of time until you figure out what you really want to do.

This would be his personal opinion. There are as many who prefer a more womanly figure.


Remember what I said about rude comments? There would be your perfect example.

I totally concur with you Colleen. I was going to say the same thing... most of the guys I've asked prefer an HOURGLASS shape anyway.

i guess some guys just want a chic who'll show her goodies and grind him... 43 or not.

It is too late to start a career dancing in your mid-40s. You won't be in it long enough to bother with, considering what it does to your psyche as you continue to age. Doesn't matter how great you look now because you won't stay that way long enough. It's a young person's game and things are going to be stacked up against you most of the way.

To Frustrated Bunny, VA Beach, strange laws around here, but you can make good money and the cost of living is lower. When I first started, I worked in NJ and Philadelphia (Philly was great for the money).

As far as "showing the goodies and grinding," Has nothing to do with it. By the way, no grinding and no touch in the club I work at. We also have to wear more than any other state I've worked in.

Yes it's my post, so it is my opinion. The OP did ask for opinions.

I'm thinking of how many productive (earnable) years are left, as opposed to taking that time and going for training in a career that she can stay in until retirement age. Hell, I had to make some reasonable assumptions since so little personal ambition data was provided and I like to give good advice for the long term. You don't know me, but I don't diss people who look for others' opinions.

She could probably do both and still have time to spend with her kids since she'd probably be earning twice what she made in the dead end job in half the time. A lot of trade schools have great part time hours allowing the students to work.

Exactly! No-one would find a few hundered extra dollars a week for even a few weeks handy (sarcasm). If you are making money it wouldn't matter if you had two heads!

yes you do have a good point, but if she really wanted to do it short-term I'd say go for it. I wasn't trying to diss you or anything! ;D

43 too old no way its a look based biz not age I am over 43 and if I all a club and say I am they will turn me down but if I come in person to the very same club the question of age doen't come up.I started at 26 later than most but I still love it and will keep going till I start to hear the old cow comments.but as an asian most guys think we are younger and I have had work done. a tummy tuc and a boob job and if I need one a face lift but my doc said I didn't need it. so I believe him hes in the bis of selling it so if he tells me I don't then I don't need it.I also dress like a teenage girl and dance to a wide range of music.some new some older.

Some places do take older gals. Ive worked with a 46 yr old that was pure sex on legs and REALLY knew how to get the boys going.

Maybe try a strippergram club, there is a market for older women

I am 27 right now and I feel like a may have till I am 32 till I need to quit. But that is me. You are the best judge of what you are capable of doing. I would suggest that you do the private dancer, or dayshift route as both of those will allow you to reach the clientel that will like you the most. Just look at the internet. It is proof that there is something out there for everyone. The key is tapping into that market that you will fit into best.

I worked in clubs for years as a bouncer and belive me, I've seen some dancers that were over 40 that blew the younger ones away. Not in all cases of course, but it did happen.

43 isn't too old to do it for a couple of years. Go in, make your money, get out!

I was 19 when i first started dancing and befriended a 43 year old dancer. she had been dancing for over 20 years and taught me alot as a newbie. she may have been 43 but she was by far hotter than most of the 20 somethings! she was in very good shape and made more money than the 20 somethings also. I say it doesn't matter how old you are, it mostly matters how good you still look and your personality. If you are still hot than give it a try. if you are a little wore out though i would look for something else to do or get some work done. I can understand why you would worry though. I am thinking about going back to stripping to make a little extra cash, I am 28 and i worry about that being too old.
