Definition
A taxi dancer is a dancer in a dance hall who is hired by patrons to dance with them for a fee per dance. 💃 These dancers provide companionship and entertainment in a social setting. Unlike professional dancers who perform on stage, taxi dancers interact directly with customers. Think of them as the 'rental partners' on the dance floor. The term reflects the way customers pay 'fare' for each dance, similar to a taxi ride. This practice was more common in the early 20th century.
