Strippers have been featured in many Hollywood film scripts such as the upcoming 'Rock that Body', highly successful 'Magic Mike', 90's classic 'Full Monty', Showgirls and Striptease. There has been a surge in popularity amongst the mainstream with gyms offering pole dancing for fitness and hen party event organizers offering pole dancing classes for fun at hen parties. The stripping and exotic dance trend has debatably heralded the way forward for female sexual freedom.
Erotic dance is a controversial topic in feminist debates and popular culture with male stripping remaining relatively underground in England compared to the US. Women’s strip club attendance is spoken of very little and appears to be an uphill trend since popular films such as Magic Mike.
