How to Go-Go Dance
- 1). Use sexy moves. Go-go approved moves include dropping down and raising up with your butt up and head down, body rolls, rolling hip movements and caressing your body with your hands. Become familiar with popular moves or the type of moves that go-go dancers in your genre use.
- 2). Be familiar with the music or type of music to which you will dance. Know the general playlist or genre of music where you are performing so you have a sense of beat changes, lyrics, and other parts of songs that may require a related change in your dancing.
- 3). Be aware of and control your body. A good go-go dancer knows where the parts of her body are and uses many of them to keep the crowd watching and entertained.
- 4). Convey confidence and be energetic. Whether or not you feel confident, you need to look as though you do. If you have a pained, shy, or otherwise insecure look people are much less likely to enjoy watching you. The same applies to a dancer who looks bored or otherwise not "in the moment."
- 5). Keep your clothes on. You are neither a stripper nor a burlesque dancer; your main role is to entertain and pump up the crowd, not intentionally indulge fantasies or overtly tease people.
- 6). Take care with your appearance. As a go-go dancer you are there to get noticed, so go all-out with your hair, makeup and outfit, applying extra makeup and hair product to withstand the rigors of dancing and your environment. Your outfit should show off your assets and camouflage any trouble spots, and might revolve around a theme or include accessories.
- 7). Stay sober. Go-go dancers dance on a variety of elevated platforms; the more altered your state the harder it will be to stay on your stage or maintain good movement. Staying sober also helps you be more aware of hazards or "handsy" people.
- 8). Be alert. If you are dancing outside the privacy of your own home you need to be aware of the crowd and any potential problems. This is especially important when leaving a place; if you are go-go dancing you are probably garnering attention and will therefore be a recognizable and possibly attractive target when the party lets out.
