Calling All UK Polers!

Posted by BeePole on February 3, 2014 at 5:16 am

I am conducting a study for my university dissertation, the aim of which is to investigate why you decided to engage in pole dancing and how it makes you feel. It will also explore any negative connotations related to pole dancing and how this affects you.

You will be asked multiple questions regarding your participation in pole dancing and you will be free to elaborate as much or as little as you wish. Any information you provide will be treated with confidentiality and you will be free to withdraw from the study at any time.

If you would like to participate in this study, please express your interest by commenting on this post so that I can provide you with more information.

Thank you!

Hi there, happy to help 🙂 I’m just starting my second year of a Bsc Psych degree (after a break of several years) were you able to find much previous research related to pole dance?

That’s great thank you! I have sent you a friend request so that the questionnaire can be conducted over private chat. It won’t take very long, depending on how much information you wish to share 🙂

There isn’t too much research related to pole dancing to be honest, however there is a lot of writing on post-feminism, which I think is highly relevant to this topic. Are you thinking of doing a pole-related dissertation too?

No problem! Yeah while it’s a long way off, it’s such a rich topic with various angles and of personal interest to me, that it seems perfect. Thanks for that bit of info. 🙂

I’d be willing to help. Have you thought about contacting providers of pole classes to ask if they would pass on your questionnaire to their students? There’s probably a lot of UK polers who arn’t on here…

Thanks Gem and Rainbowsstars, I have sent you both friend requests and will message you the details shortly!

Almost all the existing sociological studies on pole dancing have been conducted in studios, so I thought I would base my research online to see if my findings will be different 🙂

Great idea! My instinct tells me that you will probably see a difference between the two… I’d be interested to hear what you find out! Gem x
