United States: Varied State Laws

In the US, state law sets the minimum age for exotic dancing. Some states allow dancers to start working at 18, while others are stricter.

Florida recently raised the minimum age to 21. The trend towards higher age limits is evident. It is tempting to conclude about causes, but this cannot be done. We will never know if these laws were directly the result of child labor. However, the potential link between the two is certainly intriguing.

California: The minimum age requirement is 18.

Nevada (just to spell it out; they also refer to Las Vegas): You must be 18 to dance. Some clubs require dancers to be 21.

New York: The legal age is 18.

Texas: The minimum age is 21, aligning with Florida’s recent change.

Europe: Diverse Regulations

In Europe, the legal working age of an erotic dancer varies by country, and even within countries by region.

United Kingdom: The minimum age is 18.

Germany: The club is open to dancers aged 18 and up. However, though legal, individual clubs may place age limits above the legal one.

Spain: Generally, the minimum age is 18, but specific regions may have additional regulations.

Australia: Strict and Consistent

Australia maintains a relatively uniform age requirement across its states and territories.

Summary of all States: The legal age to exotic dance in Australia is 18. This is true in big states such as New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

Dubai: Highly Regulated Environment

Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, has strict regulations regarding entertainment and nightlife.

Dubai: Exotic dancers must be 21 years old. But the industry is restricted and permits are hard to get.

Message from Sean Michaels, Owner of Hot Party Stripper

Hey, Sean Michaels here at Hot Party Stripper, and I just want to answer one of my frequently asked questions, which is, What’s the minimum age a person should be for wanting to be an exotic dancer?

In general, 18 is the minimum age for exotic dancer work. In some states like Florida and Texas, the minimum age is 21.

The Las Vegas situation is slightly different, in that you can work with an individual client at 18 – ie at a private event such as stag or bachelor parties, birthday parties, private bachelorette parties, or corporate events – but if you choose to work in a club you will need certification from the city, which takes a little bit of paperwork – although we’ll gladly guide you through this if you need our help. For private parties, it is likely you’ll not need certification at all unless you’re a full-time Nevada resident.
