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.
