About the author
The author conducted this research through direct participation, working as a dancer in the clubs studied. This methodology—embedded labour ethnography—was relatively uncommon in dance studies at the time and required both physical capability and sustained access to the field. The work reflects a commitment to knowledge production grounded in actual working experience rather than external observation.
