Iraqi dancers relax at their club in central Baghdad as they wait for the evening's singing and dancing to begin at a night club late July 14, 2009. There are some 17 men's only clubs in the capital, some opening early and closing around midnight and others opening at midnight and closing at dawn. All the women who work in the clubs are Iraqis.
