本研究探討了休閒鋼管舞作為女性娛樂活動的一種新形式。鋼管舞總是被描述為西方文化背景下的產物，然而，隨著鋼管舞在世界各地越來越流行，探討舞者們在其他文化背景下練習這項活動的經驗亦變得非常重要。
通過理論實證及採訪，本研究揭示了台灣女性作為一種休閒活動練習鋼管舞的經驗。文中探討了台灣環境的一些獨特因素如何影響當地舞者的經驗，並將研究結果與在西方進行相關研究中的觀察進行了比較。
增加身體美感、藝術舞蹈欣賞的體驗、自信心的增加、結交新朋友及提供良好緩解創傷壓力的管道是本研究對象們對鋼管舞的主要積極體驗。而負面經驗包括受傷、高額的課程費用和須承受一定程度的社會偏見。研究結果表明，與鋼管舞有關的積極和消極經驗在不同的文化背景中均曾出現。然而，同時也證明當地文化背景的一些特定因素可以為鋼管舞文化的討論帶來新的視角，並激發未來研究的多元方向。

This study explores recreational pole dancing as a new form of recreational activity for women. Pole dancing is always described as a product of the Western cultural context, however, with pole dancing becoming increasingly popular around the world, it becomes important to describe the experiences of dancers practicing this activity in other cultural contexts.
Through empirical research, this study uncovers the experiences of Taiwanese women practicing pole dancing as a form of leisure. The author explores how some unique elements of the context of Taiwan influence the experiences of the local dancers and compares the findings to the observations made in related studies conducted in the West.
The sense of embodiment, the experience of body appreciation, the increase of self-confidence, the chance to make new friends, and the ability to deal with trauma and stress were the major positive aspects of pole dancing mentioned by the subjects of this study. The negative experiences included injuries, high fees for classes, and a certain degree of social prejudice.
The results of the study showed that similar positive and negative experiences related to pole dancing appear cross-culturally. Nevertheless, it also proved that some specific elements of local cultural contexts can bring new perspectives on the discussion about pole dancing as well as change the direction for future research.
