gogo and strip culture
Let's dance!
Today we are dealing with the wonderful, dazzling, hot and erotic world of gogo and strip culture. What exactly is the difference, what is the story behind it and where is what or how much to see? Let's first look at the striptease. This art is mainly based on sophisticated delays and skilful hints during the seductive dance of the stripper. Frequently, situations are staged with the help of costumes and thus stories are put on stage.
Various myths surround the origin and history of the striptease. One of them goes back to the erotic veil dance of Salome, who is said to have taken off seven veils in front of Herod during her dance. The western form of striptease developed from exotic dances. In Hinduism, however, it was the snake dance, in the Arab world it was the belly and veil dance and with the Egyptians the fertility dance. The word striptease was first mentioned in 1916 by the Minsky brothers, who owned the most burlesque theatres in America at that time, and in Europe the famous revue theatres Folies Berge`re, Moulin Rouge and Crazy Horse made Paris the stronghold of striptease. The stars of the scene at that time are Josephine Baker, Tempest Storm and Betty Page. All of them strong women who were aware and proud of their sexual charisma. Despite their success and popularity with the public, they were denied artistic recognition. Instead, they experienced censorship and exclusion. In today's world, in which all shells immediately fall unimaginatively, the interest in artistic undressing is growing again. Striptease lives from sex appeal, charisma and fantasy.
The term Gogo is derived from the French term á gogo, which in turn can be derived from the old French la gogue "joy, happiness, pleasure, amusement". The term "go-go dancing" originated in the 1950s in the USA. There it was practiced in licensed establishments. With the emergence of the first dance clubs and discos in the 1960s, the use of the term changed and now referred to auditioning in modern, fashionable clothing. To this day the main focus of go-go dancers is on animated dance. The aim is to animate the audience to dance and to entertain the guests standing at the bar. However, one cannot speak of a dance direction Go-go Dance, because the dancers rather combine many dance directions with each other. Go-go dancers are also increasingly taking on more and more revenue-generating activities in discotheques. They often distribute "shots", where the drink is served from the bottle into the mouth of the guests, or they play games with the guests during the dance breaks, where drinks can be won against a monetary stake. Go-go clothing is of course also subject to trends. While in the 1990s, in techno times mostly lightly dressed in bikinis were danced or at the beginning of the Love Parade often plush costumes were seen, in the beginning of the year 2000 mainly self-made glitter costumes were seen. Today, you see more short dresses and high quality clothing in the clubs. Occasionally you can also see costumed dancers at theme parties, for example as nurses, policewomen or cheerleaders.
Even though the go-go and striptease scene is often mixed up nowadays, they are clearly separated from each other. While the striptease focuses on the sexual component, the go-go dance serves as animation for dancing and a good party mood. Another difference is the fact that strippers first go on stage dressed and then strip partially or completely, so get inspiration from Saresia or Saresia Roleplay and shake yout booty.
