GoGo Girl

“You can take the girl out of Brazil but you can't take Brazil out of the girl”, is the very phrase friends use to describe Betina Soares, 32, a Go-Go Dancer from Rio de Janeiro working in New York . Clad in the tiniest of outfits, Go-Go dancers tease, play and dominate the male audience that comes to watch them perform at many nightclubs in New York , seeing their jobs as empowering rather than degrading. Manipulating men out of their money with a minimum of physical contact, Betina once said that “I knew that one day I would end up only with my underwear on top of tables making a lot of money.”
