Based on ethnographic research conducted in 'Starlets', a lapdancing club in the North of England, this book delves into what is often seen as the 'deviant', and 'stigmatized' world of lapdancing. As well as the relationships between dancers, the author offers a unique insider's account of lapdancing club culture, having worked as a lapdancer 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 lapdancer by following the dancer from the beginning of her career, to her eventual exit; providing a fluid and comprehensive examination of the occupation of lapdancing. 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 lapdancers at 'Starlets' were found to be a part. This book is recommended for anyone studying or researching in this field.
