Showgirls usually follow a regimented schedule of work and exercise to keep their bodies fit and in shape for the stage performances. They also may follow a special diet to maintain muscle but not gain fat. The showgirl herself is considered a piece of art or a human sculpture designed to adorn the stage with beautiful, large costumes.

To many producers in Las Vegas, showgirls are considered no more than mannequins. A common misconception of some people who have not been to a dance show is that they think showgirls are part of the sex industry, although they are not.
