{"product_id":"dirty-dancing-an-ethnography-of-lap-dancing","title":"Dirty Dancing","description":"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.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49588343865688,"sku":"9781843928171","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781843928171_d44095c4-554d-4605-8a07-5cc4c2f058d3.jpg?v=1777092367","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dirty-dancing-an-ethnography-of-lap-dancing","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
