Table Dance[edit | edit source]

Table dance, also known as table dancing, is a type of exotic dance that originated in the late 20th century in western countries. It is a form of adult entertainment where a dancer performs on a table, often at a strip club or similar venue.

History[edit | edit source]

The origins of table dance can be traced back to the 1970s in the United States. It was initially a form of burlesque performance, but it evolved over time to become a distinct genre of adult entertainment. The popularity of table dance has grown significantly over the years, and it is now a common feature in strip clubs and adult entertainment venues around the world.

Performance[edit | edit source]

In a table dance performance, the dancer typically performs on a small table or platform, often in close proximity to the audience. The performance may involve a variety of dance moves, including pole dancing, lap dancing, and other forms of exotic dance. The dancer may also interact with the audience, often in the form of teasing or flirting.

Legal and Cultural Aspects[edit | edit source]

The legal status of table dance varies widely from country to country, and even within different regions of the same country. In some places, table dance is considered a form of sex work and is subject to specific regulations. In other places, it is considered a form of adult entertainment and is regulated in a similar way to other types of performance art.

Culturally, table dance is often associated with sexuality and eroticism, but it is also seen as a form of artistic expression. Many dancers view their work as a form of performance art, and there is a growing recognition of the skill and athleticism involved in table dance.
