    Question NYC Age Requirement

    I was wondering if somebody could please tell me the age requirement to be a dancer in NYC. I am 20 years old. I have tried searching online for the answer and the NYC laws and regulations website with no avail! I would really appreciate it if somebody helped me out. Thank you!

    I could be wrong but the last time I checked (which was quite a while ago) It was 21.

    18 to dance, 21 to serve alcohol. At least, this is how it was when I danced. New York differentiates the two types of clubs into various "entertainment" categories.

    By the letter of the law, in the state of New York you must be age 18 to work in a strip club, and you must be age 21 to consume or serve alcohol. In order to avoid potential problems with the New York liquor license authority, in general NY topless alcohol clubs will not hire dancers under the age of 21 because the presence of 'underage' dancers creates risks and difficulties in club management. This means things like explaining to customers why they can't buy an underage dancer a drink, or requiring underage dancers to wear wrist-bands, or telling customers that the customer can't be served alcohol in a VIP room because one of the dancers in the VIP room with them is underage ! With no shortage of ready and willing dancers who ARE age 21, the New York topless alcohol clubs just choose to steer clear of underage dancers as a matter of policy.

    Now in full nudity non-alcohol New York clubs there is no problem whatsoever hiring dancers who are 18-20 years old. Of course the 'business model' of these nude clubs is a bit different !

    I believe they're 21 and up as well. Generally all clubs that serve alcohol will be 21 and up, and full nudes sans alcohol will be 18 and up.

    I heard- not sure how true this is but I heard that if you are under 21, you can go to a club that serves alchohol so long as they have a restaurant as well. . .

    ^^^ again NYS alcohol control laws do not legally prevent topless alcohol clubs from hiring dancers under age 21. What prevents them from doing so in the real world is the STRONG possibility that a 19 year old dancer will be caught consuming alcohol in the club or caught serving alcohol to club customers ... which could put the club's liquor license in jeopardy. Since there is no shortage whatsoever of hot new dancers who are of legal drinking age, club management can avoid all of the potential problems by simply establishing a policy that they will not hire any dancers under age 21.
