Stripping at religious festivals, weddings and funerals became unique event in Taiwan during the 1980s. During some events, pole dancers would wear tiny miniskirts and expose their fancy bras to their audiences, which included children. But now that those days are over, how are the pole dancing queens doing? Apple Daily went to find out and tell their stories.
The phenomenon of pole dancing even attracted the attention of a western anthropologist, who featured Taiwanese pole dancers in a documentary, "Dancing for the Dead: Funeral Strippers in Taiwan". The lives of pole dancing queens Du Du and Fung Ting are among those who were filmed for documentaries in Taiwan.
Pole dancers who used to perform on expensive electric floats now resort to dancing on low-budget moving cars, which drive through the streets while dancers to shake their bodies at passersby. These dancers are similar to showgirls who are always followed by lots of fans wherever they go. It seems it's easy to make a quick buck by pole dancing, but that isn't always a guarantee for the future.
