^^^Agreed. I am very active, but boy is it hard to get up in the morning, even in retirement. My one knee and both hips kill me in cold and rainy weather.

Won't stop me from going back to perform at Halloween though. I'll take the one night's glory and deal with the ouchies later. :)

35 is not too old. The older dancers i know always make money . If shes really is as hot as you say, she will do great. Tell her to give it a try on amatuer night and if she if not comfortable then screw it.

I used to work with a 45-year-old dancer who was hot as hell. In a way, she looked her age -- her face has some lines, but in an attractive way -- but she had a smoking rock-hard body and banked. Customers regularly dissed my 25-year-old sex kitten self to sit with her, probably for all the reasons stated above.

One thing no one's mentioned yet, but an older dancer might want to consider working day shifts, when the older business customers are around more, and come in to talk rather than get shit-faced and sit by the bar. The girl I mentioned above was a dayshift girl, and there are several hot 40+ dancers on the dayshift at my current club as well.

I have written many times of one of the first truly stunning dancers I had the pleasure of working with, Theo. Theo was 37, though she didn't look it (she looked about 27-8), and unquestionably beautiful. To this day I have yet to meet a dancer better than her, though there have been maybe 15-20 out of well over a thousand who were as good.

I could go on, but I'd be repeating myself from several old posts, and also I have to get ready for work, right fucking now.

Moments later--where the hell did that smiley come from?? I tried to edit it out to 27-8 but it won't go away--well, whatever, lol...

Psst - I think that when you put an "8" next to a ")", it is automatically interpreted code-wise as a shortcut to that smiley. Let's see if that works . . . 8) Yup!

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!
I am 34, an aerobics instructor for the past 9 years, and I have always wanted to dance (since I was a kid! Seriously!) but I didn't have the confidence until now with my new additions. My class participants think I am much younger. Yes it's all in the spirit! I am contemplating whether to dance or waitress first. Any suggestions would be great. I can sell snow after a snowstorm and I love to be in front of people....

As long as you don't look like you are on coke all the time or used up I think it's cool for anybody to dance. There are about four women at the strip club I work at that are over 33... one looks gorgeous and holds herself well, another is great but could loose about 30 lbs but she makes money anyway so who cares... good personality and always smiling, and the last two are weird. One is so skinny, and tells customers terrible stories about her life that nobody wants to hear and the other is cool but just looks overweight and jacked up teeth, but likes good music. So see, all these women have ups and downs, and so do I and it really depends on what the people that come in the club will be attracted to.

I'm 21 and sometimes I get 18, other times I get guessed at 22 or even 26 once. And sometimes it's right when they see me they say this or after talking to me somebody tries to guess and it's all about how you carry yourself... it's a fantasy and nobody wants to come in to see girls slumping on the couch or not walking around to introduce themselves and ask for company.

I haven't read the rest of the thread, so pardon me if the following's been said.

If you still keep up your appearance and keep your hustle sharp, you'll be fine.

I've seen some busted-looking 20 year olds and hot women who just sit in the locker room all night complaining about "no money".

Besides, the custy's don't need to know how old you are. Most of them already assume we're all single mom's with a drug habit and leech BF anyway, so if they want to assume you're 27 and not 36, so be it.

It sounds like stripping is for you then! :)

Ladies, you are only as old as you feel. of course it is not always easy to make contracts for dancers aged around 35 or so but WITHOUT any exception we never ever got even one complaint or anything from any of our club customers when we signed them a dancer with more experience (let us describe it like that). because this is exactly the way i do the promotion for this group of dancers : they usually know how to pull the strings, perform a great show, etc. and we are talking about "stupid" european club customers who thing dancing starts at 19 (legal drinking age in almost any european country) and ends at 27. well i have to say it used to be like that, but as guests change so do the clubs, performing the standard russki two stepper for three minutes while holding on to the pole so that they don't fall off the stage is finally OVER, we are happy to see that ! so i wish your friend all the best, she will make it and hopefully enjoy the job as much as she can. by the way, i am a guy, owning an agency in europe, so please xcuse my english...

Theres a woman at my club who is maybe 40? She told me she has a kid my age (I'm 19) so shes somewhere between like 36 and 40ish maybe?

I'd say the most important thing to prepare her for is the dramatic difference in the economy right now. It's going to be a very rude awakening.

Why, because the economy is so good and strong would that be a rude awakening?

Of course, clubs have changed a lot in the past 15 years. There are fewer and fewer air dance clubs where a decent income can be earned. Clubs are increasing the number of girls on the floor, and the hustle is a lot more competitive.

I can agree with Jenny on the older girls in some clubs. There are the clubs that cater to the lower teir of dancers that just don't have any options. Those dancers are not happy are usually fighting a life long addiction of some kind and always have some kind of drama in their lives. The club keeps them around because they are reliable, if nothing else. If the club is rural, it is better to have someone, anyone on the stage, than to have no dancers at all.

In the nicer upscale clubs in larger metro areas, the pathetic old dancer is just not hired. I'm talking the women who are just one step above street hooker.

A nice looking balanced woman can make good money as a stripper at just about any age. Even a 50+ woman can do okay if she finds the right clientele, meaning older gentlemen. 60+ can make money doing silly stuff. As long as she realizes that she is akin to a clown, granny strippers can command some big bucks;).

Again, in case I wasn't clear - I wasn't saying that older dancers ALWAYS have those characteristics - just that I haven't noticed that they, as a group, have the opposite. In any case, I was not arguing at any point that nobody would buy dances (although I do think that painting being 35 as a full out advantage is stretching credulity - like, it may not mean that you are ready to be buried, but I doubt it is usually a huge selling point) because I don't even know so much as what she looks like, let alone what she acts like. I was saying that getting into a time sensitive, grueling, youth oriented business at an age when most (although not all) "together" dancers are, in fact, getting out is perhaps not a wise decision (note how many dancers who say that they didn't quit until they were... 36 or so. I mean, they were going at 35, but were planning the retirement party, not the launch).

My friend is 35 years old. <snip> She thinks she's WAY too old, and she says she'll be embarrassed to get up on stage because she'll feel geriatric <snip>

-- As quite a few ladies have said, the main thing is how she feels about it. The last time I went for therapy the woman who got the most attention from me @ the stage was definitely "more experienced," she could easily be 35, & she had the best stage presence I'd seen in a long time. Unfortunately she didn't come on until I had spent my wad, but I'll look for her the next time I go in!
