Original sentence: A lap dance is a type of erotic dancing/erotic dance offered in some strip clubs or (somewhat more formal) gentlemen's clubs in which the client/patron is seated, and the dancer/sex worker is either in immediate contact (contact dancing) with the patron/client, or within a very short distance.Depending on the local jurisdiction and community standards, lap dances can involve touching of the dancer/sex worker by the patron, the patron/client by the dancer/sex worker, neither, or both; the dancer/sex worker may be naked, topless or fully clothed.In 1994 – in a ruling which was to have an impact throughout the English speaking world – a Canadian court (Judge Hachborn of the Ontario Court, Provincial Division, in the case of Pat Mara and Allan East, the owner and manager of Cheaters Tavern) ruled that lapdancing did not contravene laws on public decency and defined what lap dancing should mean.It has been alleged that club owners, by installing dark private booths and charging dancers steep stage fees, are covertly condoning and encouraging sexual acts between customers and dancers.The dancer/sex worker might perform lap dances too, depending on the patron's wishes.This was a huge victory for the sex trade
