Im not saying there is one but I am very new to bellydancing and I was talking to a pal of mine who is a tap dancer and has danced all her life but her performing career is virtually over at the ripe old age of 28!!! 28 is only 3 years away so its a good job Im not a tap dancer.

I know its very rare to make a career or a living from belly dancing but if I wanted to perform and make a proper go of this what age do you have until.

Im 25 but I do get away with looking about 21. I would still bellydance even if there was no future because i love it but I was just wondering what my options are for the future because I am prepared to work very hard.

So ladies and gents in your opinions when are belly dancers in their prime and to what age do most perform to?
