What is a lap dance meaning?

A lap dance is a type of erotic dance in which a performer—usually a stripper or exotic dancer—dances and gyrates sensually in close physical proximity to a seated customer. The dancer typically straddles the customer's lap and rubs her body against his legs and torso while enticing him with suggestive movements. Lap dances are performed in strip clubs, adult entertainment establishments, and other venues that permit erotic dancing. The performance usually lasts for several minutes and can vary in intensity, depending on the preferences of the customer and the dancer. Lap dances are often associated with sexual arousal and may be viewed as a form of sex work. However, they are legal in most jurisdictions and can be enjoyed by consenting adults.
