The origin of Go-Go Dancing actually started in 1958 when the first Go Go club – “Peppermint Lounge” opened in New York City. During this time, Peppermint Lounge became very popular and started attracting celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, Noel Coward and Frank Sinatra,
The word “Go Go” comes from the French word. “Gogo”, meaning “abundance” or joy, happiness.
In another sense, the term “Go Go” is American slang, popular in the early 1960s, which means something is prevalent or popular. (based on the original word: “go” or “the go”)
Some girls who came to Peppermint Club climbed up the table and danced the Twist in mini dresses and turtleneck boots. Acknowledging the potential of the girls and this would be an attraction to retain customers, the manager decided to hire those sexy girls to become the first Go-Go dancers. Since then, Go-Go Dancing has become famous and popular in many different bar / club venues.
Typical fashion styles of early Go-Go dancers: mini skirt short skirts and high boots.
In 1964, “Condor” (San Francisco) dancer Carol Doda shocked the audiences with her controversial Go-Go performance showing off her chest (no shirt). She also became one of the most famous Go-Go dancers in the world, and was the oldest active dancer with over 20 years performing at the Condor Club itself.
Another famous Go-Go club is ‘Whiskeys A Go-Go’ opened in 1965 is said to be the first Go-Go club with dancers performing inside hangers.
In Asia, Thailand is supposed to be the first country to introduce and develope Go-Go Dancing, from the Vietnam War period. In 1969, “The GP Go-Go Club” opened and attracted a lot of audiences, mainly American soldiers and foreigners working in the country.
Go-Go Club and Go-Go Dancing are quickly spread and become one of Bangkok’s nightlife activity, especially Patpong night market.
Nine years later, the first Go-Go Club in Pattaya – the “Tahitian Queen” was opened and played an important role in the city’s tourism development.
