Towards a Feminist Ethnography -- From Circus & Sex to Fitness& Leisure -- What is a Pole Class? -- What Not to Wear -- Diversity& Empowerment? -- A Thing of Beauty' -- The Pole Community: Opening Closed Minds-- Case Study I: 'Empowering women with confidence' -- Case Study II: Power Moves &Everyday Bodies -- Conclusions: A Positive Active Identity? -- Appendix I: Questions for online questionnaire and statistics of responses -- Appendix II: Websites of Instructors Who Took Part Schools Mentioned.

This book, the first of its kind, examines pole dancing classes, which are held in more than 50 countries worldwide. This study draws on original qualitative data collected in the UK, Australiaand the US with participants who attended pole dancing classes and their instructors. Using pole dancing classes as a starting point for a wider discussion about gendered physicality, body image and embodiment, leisure, empowerment and pleasure, the voices of the participants are placed alongside current discourses, drawing on leisure, gender and cultural studies and sociology to reveal a phenomenon with many contradictions: for example, the recurring theme of participants disliking physical exercise, but offeeling liberated, and even empowered, by pole classes. Such findings challenge the image of pole classes as sexualized and objectifying. Thebookalso examines such topics as men and poleand the worldwide pole community.
