There is no sell by date unless you are looking to be a paid performer for the general public. There are exceptions to the rule of course but most of the time they want the young fit girls.
I gave up restaurants about 5 years ago in my mid thirties. I could still be doing it actually and get asked often but it was me who decided to quit.
I detest it now. I had enough of getting changed in tiolets and putting up with bullsh!!
These days I stick to festivals, theatre, Weddings and parties etc. I will play it by ear and see how it goes in the future.
As regards to having a reputation amongst the belly dancing community in festivals etc. this is timeless.
