Information About

Showgirl




A showgirl is a Dance r or Performer in a show, typically in (but not restricted to) Las Vegas, Nevada .

Showgirls usually follow a regimented schedule of work and exercise to keep their bodies fit and in shape for the stage performances. They also may follow a special Diet to maintain muscle but not gain fat. The showgirl herself is considered a piece of art or a human sculpture designed to adorn the stage with beautiful, large costumes.

To many Producer s in Las Vegas, showgirls are considered no more than Mannequin s. A common misconception of some people who have not been to a dance show is that they think showgirls are part of the Sex Industry , although they are not.
