Go-Go Dancing



Go-Go Dancing is Exactly What It Says on the Tin - dancing energetically on one's own, often but not always professionally at a nightclub, for the entertainment of the patrons. While the outfits that go-go dancers wear are usually minimal to the point of being stripperiffic (and occasionally the dancers go topless, as at least one famously did at San Francisco's Condor Club in the 1960s), the dancers do not as a rule actually strip - go-go bars are not strip clubs.

The Other Wiki has an article about the history of go-go dancing, including a mention that as of 1991 there were more go-go boys in gay clubs than there were go-go girls in "straight" clubs.

Not to be confused with Go Go Tomago.
