There are feathers, rhinestones, and glitter from showgirls lining the streets of this city, if we look closely enough! However, the history was not all glamour and glory. As much as there were glamorous showgirls hitting stages all over the town, there were also clear divisions between social classes, with many dancers facing discrimination, segregation, and racism. Through all of the extremes that the entertainers saw, up until the late 70s, live music was still often their accompaniment for their performances. However, with the rise of disco, and changes to entertainment laws, 1978 saw the end of bands backing up dancers. Poles became more and more of a feature in strip clubs and striptease shifted and evolved stylistically with time. Fascinated with the history of showgirls, striptease, and erotic entertainment, Nicky wondered if there was room in this city for an event to empower women and celebrate the diverse art of exotic dance while tributing the amazing music of the 60s and 70s. Could there be an all live, naked, (dare we say it!) feminist strip show in Vancouver? Yes, the answer is yes! Welcome to Retro Strip Show!
