How it's used

This term carries a specific social stigma and is strictly associated with the sex industry or high-end hostess clubs. It is never used to describe a professional male dancer, who would be referred to as 男舞蹈員 or 舞者. Using it to describe a performer in a dance studio would be considered offensive or highly confusing.
