    what type of dancer are you??
    what makes you dance? money?
    30 is still young.. but why don't you try teaching dance? it could be more rewarding for you in the long run..

    • if you're doing it 'for the love of it', and you 'dont look your age',... then I dont see a problem... are you feeling that the younger girls are becoming better than you or something??
      just relax and have fun with it.. if you feel like you've gotten all you can get from it, change it up a bit.. try something different..

    • Well, you obviously have already succeeded and have no reason to fear failure, otherwise you would not have already "danced for tv and trade shows all over the world". I mean, I dont know much about it but that sounds like a big deal to me. If you were a failure, you'd be 30+ still dancing at amatuer talent shows or something like that. Right?
      Most dancers tend to be perfectionists, do they not? maybe you're just going a little overboard with it and having it affect your profession a little too much, causing more stress than it should.. Maybe I'm wrong I don't know.. I really don't know you.. who am i?... :o) anyway..
      Good luck! hope I helped!
