Originally...

The term "taxi dancer" comes from the fact that, as with a taxi-cab driver, the dancer's pay is proportional to the time he or she spends dancing with the customer. Patrons in a taxi-dance hall typically purchased dance tickets for ten cents each, which gave rise to the term "dime-a-dance girl". Other names for a taxi dancer are "dance hostess" and "taxi" (in Argentina). In the 1920s and 30s, the term "nickel hopper" gained popularity in the United States because out of each dime-a-dance, the taxi dancer typically earned five cents.


Our Taxi Version

In our case at Hawai'i Bachata Expo, our Taxi Dancers are hired as volunteers (compensated with a Full Pass Ticket & access to our teacher's lounge (meals). They are basically advance dancers that love to social dance. They will be wearing a different type of wrist band. They will ask you to dance or you can ask them to dance regardless of your dance level (it doesn't matter if you're a beginner or advance level dancer). Why am I implementing it?



I'll answer it by they way I answered when someone asked on Facebook...


Taxi Dancing

What's that ? Is that like a dance escort service?


 LOL, no. It's very popular in Europe. Trust me it’s a good concept especially for beginners & intermediate. I don't like it when I see some dancers just sitting in the ballroom hoping someone will notice and ask them to dance. I don't want anyone feeling left out ever at my events
