Who is a "taxi dancer"?
A taxi dancer is a professional dancer who is available to dance with patrons in a dance hall or club, often for a fee. Unlike performers who are part of a specific dance group or show, taxi dancers offer their services on a more personal and individual basis. They dance with customers who may not have a partner or who wish to dance with a professional. This role involves interacting with a variety of people, providing enjoyable and energetic dance experiences, and often includes guiding patrons through different dance styles and routines.
Examples
In the 1920s, taxi dancers were a common feature in dance halls across major cities.
