The activity originated in the 1960s and rose in popularity with the advent of disco music. In particular, the practice began at the Los Angeles music venue, Whisky a Go Go.
Though the club was billed as a discothèque, meaning only recordings with no bands, the Whisky A Go-Go opened with a live band led by Johnny Rivers and a short-skirted DJ spinning records between sets from a suspended cage at the right of the stage. When the female DJ danced during Rivers' set, the audience thought it was part of the act and the concept of Go-Go dancers in cages was born.
More recently, both genders practice cage dancing. Go-go boys, for example, can regularly be seen in cages at night clubs frequented by homosexuals.
