A hiper-sexualização do pole dance: um estudo comparativo de impressões sobre duas performances de pole dance

Abstract

This research consists of comparing two Pole Dance performances from the impressions registered by the receiving public. The methodology is qualitative and boils down to the production of performances, recording and presentation via form to spectators. In this form, some questions were presented about scenic elements such as lighting, costumes and music so that the public could talk about their sensations, impressions and opinions. The questions were open, and the answers were stored in a digital spreadsheet and presented here in the form of a data table. Then, their responses were analyzed and discussed in the body of the text. At the end of the research, it is concluded that Pole Dance lacks academic work on the scenic and contextual aspects and that the chosen spectator public is changing its understanding of the practice, no longer observing it as strictly sensual/sexual. This result does not reflect the Brazilian population in general, only the group selected, for which a large technological and academic research would be necessary.
