Synopsis

This book explores the phenomenon of pole dancing as an increasingly popular fitness and leisure activity for women. It moves beyond previous debates surrounding the empowering or degrading nature of pole dancing classes, and instead explores the complexities of these concepts and highlights that women participating in this practice cannot be seen as one dimensional. It will be a valuable contribution to those interested in women's and gender studies, cultural studies, feminism, sociology and leisure studies.
