Go to a ballroom dance competition. Talk to competitors. Interview them. Many of them, especially high level amateurs, will be quite willing to share a lot of information that you might find useful. Professionals might be a little less open to discussion, but you still can ask. You will have a better basis for your opinion.
I like what WWD said. I don't agree with Red. Sorry, but working in a hotel doesn't make one an expert in Ballroom. Listen to dancers.

You may be able to make a career out of it. I'm not sure how competitive or what it takes exactly as far as making a career out of it. But you can alwasy just learn to dance as a hobby and take lessons. It would be a lot of fun.
But people of all ages can dance, just look at the people of "Dancing with the Stars". Celebrities in their 50's and 60s' sometimes do really well.

As a career, you're pushing it. It'll be a few years before you get to the top, and by then you'll be at or past the age where people normally move on to other things. There's nothing wrong, though, with teaching, running a studio or coaching, so even if your competitive career is short, you'll still have decades of work in dance.

Yes, you indeed are too old to consider dancing as a career. The reason is simple: EVEN IF you are fit and capable to support the physical efforts required; the skill level needed to tranform this into a career - something you make money out of - is really really high.
Unfortunatelly, to reach that kind of skill level takes years and hard training. By the time you learn to dance well enough to be paid for it - or to go to contests and stuff - your body will no longer be able to keep up. In one word - an please don't be offended - rusty.
I don't want you to get dissapointed, you could always take up dancing as a hobby...
Sorry

If you work very hard, you can probably reach a competitive level in 5 years. I don't know if you will be able to make a career out of it, but you can definitely make money teaching others how to dance.

No one is too old to dance...dancing actually makes you feel and look younger and if you do it for a career you will be one of the best looking 32 year olds out there...GO FOR IT!

Where there's a will, there's a way. If you can dream it you can do it. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
