    I'm 19 and I feel like a wee babe next to everyone else!
    You can learn burlesque at any time or stage in your life. It's not age discriminate and is for everyone. Now get going and start doing it!
    Good luck honey!

    Wow - 25 too old? What shows have you been going to?? lol

    I think you will have had sufficient reassurance by now. In fact, you make me feel old...

    Bettie Page was in her mid thirties when she started... the most successful stars today are all 30+

    It generally takes a good 10 years or so to earn status and figure out your own niche etc, so the sooner you start the better but there are no hard and fast rules .

    Often it's better to come in to things a little older as you have more perspective and wisdom to make the journey a more progressive and focused one.

    Everyone's story is different.

    At the ripe age of 25 myself no you aren't too old!!! Heard of Tempest Storm ? Dixie Evans? Burlesque is for all ages, genders, shapes and sizes - it's what makes it great!

    For real??? WOW! I thought you were my age when we performed at Through the Keyhole! You look fantastic!

    OP, 25 isn't too old. I was nearly 25 when I made my debut last year. I do wish I had done it sooner though!
