A taxi dancer is a paid dance partner in a partner dance. Taxi dancers are hired to dance with their customers on a dance-by-dance basis. When taxi dancing first appeared in taxi-dance halls during the early 20th century in the United States, male patrons would typically buy dance tickets for a small sum each. When a patron presented a ticket to a chosen taxi dancer, she would dance with him for the length of a single song. The taxi dancers would earn a commission on every dance ticket earned. Though taxi dancing has for the most part disappeared in the United States, it is still practiced in some other countries.

Reichel Pugh 70 “Taxi Dancer”
Taxi Dancer is an iconic bright yellow sled designed by Reichel Pugh in 1988. She has had a lot of success on the race course over the last three decades and the new high modulus carbon spar from Offshore Spars helped carry that trend forward. The high modulus carbon spar is supported with a full carbon EC6 rigging package, including below deck turnbuckles to keep windage at a minimum. The existing boom was retained and a new over-length spinnaker pole with twin fixed goosenecks supports the large modern A-sails.
