'''Go-Go Dancing''' is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]] - dancing energetically on one's own, often but not always professionally, at a bar or 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 [[w:Carol Doda|one]] famously did at [[San Francisco]]'s [[w:Condor Club|Condor Club]] in the 1960s), the dancers do not as a rule actually strip - [[Bikini Bar|go-go bars]] are not strip clubs.
 
[[The Other Wiki]] has an article about the history of [[w:Go-go dancing|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.
 
Compare [[Bikini Bar]] and [[Strip club]].
