Contact dance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Contact dance is the common name in Montreal for a type of erotic lap dance that may involve a more pronounced use of flexibility, rhythm and physical exertion.

[edit] History

Contact dance is commonly practiced by exotic dancers or strippers within private booths at a strip club.

Like full-contact lap dances, contact dance may involve a varying level of dryhumping where the stripper may straddle the patron and rub her lap against his, and allow some physical touching of the performer's body. As such the patron may reach orgasm despite the limited contact.

[edit] Controversy

This form of eroticism is specifically notable in Montreal since legalization by the Supreme Court of Canada in December 1999. Critics cited indecency, however the court ruled community standards are broad enough to encompass fondling in strip bars while excluding contact with genitalia and penetration. [1]

Contact dance is also known in Quebec as the danse à dix, literally "ten-dollar dance".
