Based on ethnographic research conducted in 'Starlets', a lap-dancing club in the North of England, this book delves into what is often seen as the 'deviant', and 'stigmatized' world of lap-dancing. As well as the relationships between dancers, it offers an insider's account of lap-dancing club culture.
Based on ethnographic research conducted in ''Starlets'', a lap-dancing club in the North of England, this book delves into what is often seen as the ''deviant'', and ''stigmatized'' world of lap-dancing. As well as the relationships between dancers, the author offers a unique insider''s account of lap-dancing club culture, having worked as a lap-dancer both prior to, and during, the study. The book tells a fascinating tale of the author''s experiences working as a lap dancer and the insights this has provided. This book projects a textured picture of working, socializing and living as a lap-dancer by following the dancer from the beginning of her career, to her eventual exit; providing a fluid and comprehensive examination of the occupation of lap-dancing. As well as building on the popular themes of ''dancer motivation'', ''dancer exploitation/empowerment'' and risk already embedded in existing literature, this book also offers completely new insight into this industry by drawing attention to the occupational subculture of which lap-dancers at ''Starlets'' were found to be a part. This book is recommended for anyone studying or researching in this field.
