TRUTH !!
Throughout the 1920s and 30s, taxi-dance halls flourished in American
cities, despite their reputation for fostering lewd behavior. At a typical
hall, men would buy tickets—usually for 10 cents each—that they could

dance. The women, called taxi-dancers, earned a commission based on the
number of tickets they collected.
