I keep hearing gay references to gogo dancers, mostly from straight people and in the media/entertainment. This page does not satisfy my wanting to know what it is and how it fits with where I keep hearing it.

"When the republicans started taking office and put a banned to them?" Is this for real?
--Clearly not, as they are merely talking about putting a baned to them. --24.16.18.99 04:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Is there such a thing as an 'expert' on go-go dancing, as would be implied by the use of the {expert} tag? 68.184.150.249 03:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

It has more of a history than the article's current text suggests. A form of go-go dancing was popular and mainstream, at least on television and in live performances of pop & rock music, from the early 1960s into the early or mid 1970s. It was pretty common on certain music-oriented variety shows. Someone's got to be an expert on popular dance history, if not also music televison from that era ("Mr. Dante Fontana" comes to mind), if not specifically an expert on the dance form itself. I only tagged the article very recently, in part to dissuade some of the vandalism going on. Give it a chance. :) —mjb 04:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Gay go-go dancers" section needs expansion

I know very little about this, and after reading the section still know very little about it. The first question that comes to mind is: where? It's important because laws and attitudes in many places were changing in the 1960s (for example, here in Britain homosexual sex was first decriminalised in 1967). If, as I suspect, the section refers specifically to the US (or parts of the US) then it's important it says so. 86.132.137.5 (talk) 03:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
