You could teach these 'youngsters' a thing or two, and get paid (giving lessons). As far as I have seen nothing compares with dancers in their 30 to 50 year range.

Maybe get training in another field while you're dancing. You could keep working as a dancer until you're ready to go and you'll already have something else to go into.

the best teachers conyinue to study forever. I'm not a dancer but I used to study voice, extensively. Every teacher I had still took lessons and performed. starting to teach is only the beginning of the transformation to the nest step. It's not that you are losing your opportunities, its that new doors are opening for you.

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..
