==Performance art dancers== Go-go dancers that are hired to dance at night clubs, special parties, festivals, [[circuit parties]] or [[rave]] dances in bright, colorful costumes are called performance art dancers.<ref>"A Revival of Go-Go Dancers". ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'' 12 July 1991, People section page B3</ref> Most often, go-go dancers are typically women who perform to entertain a crowd in public or at clubs and they often wear sexy clothing or printed clothes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.costumet.com/misc/go-go-dancer/|title=How to Make Go-Go Dancer's Costume|publisher=costumet.com|date= 6 July 2022|accessdate=2022-08-08}}</ref> {{bsn|reason=This is just an commercial site with no credibility, surely a cultural magazine has covered this?|date=March 2025}}Their costumes often include accessories such as [[glow stick]]s, light chasers, toy [[ray gun]]s that light up, go-go shorts embedded with battery-operated fiber optic tubes in various colors, strings of battery-operated colored lights in plastic tubes, [[Fire dancing|fire sticks]], a musical instrument, or an animal (usually a snake). In the early to midβ1980s, the performance art dancer [[John Sex]], who performed with a [[Pythonidae|python]], played a role in making go-go dancing popular once again at gay and bisexual night clubs along with his life partner Sebastian Kwok.{{Citation needed|date=March 2012}}
