<p>So, if we were to say that clubbing is a religion, then the club is the place of worship, the music is the hymn, and the DJ takes on the role of the Priest. </p>
<p>But what about the go-go dancer? Where do they fit into this clunky, overused metaphor?</p>
<p>Well, according to former go-go dancer, and current author and porn actor, Manuel Skye, the role of the go-go dancer is more than just eye candy—they’re the facilitators of connection. </p>
<p>We sat down with Manuel to talk about <em>Parking</em>, a legendary Montreal, Canada club that became a key part of his life after he moved there from Quebec City in the ‘90s. </p>
<p>For Manuel, it wasn’t just a place to dance or perform—it was a sanctuary for expression and liberation and he was gutted when Parking literally became parking, converted to a car park in the '00s.</p>
