Dancing for Your Life: The True Story of Maria de la Torre and the Secret World of Hong Kong Go-Go Bars - Softcover
Synopsis
DANCING FOR YOUR LIFE chronicles the true story of a beautiful, young Filipina who, in order to help her family financially, leaves her home in the quiet Philippines countryside to work as a dancer in Hong Kong's red-light district of Wan Chai. This book will hold special appeal for readers interested in gaining a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of an Asian go-go bar and will serve as a companion guide for individuals interested in cultural studies, gender studies, or spirituality. It presents a rare first-person account that is thought provoking and controversial. Here is the “untold story” of faith, friendship, and sacrifice, but also of triumph and forgiveness.

From the Publisher
This book lends itself to classroom or group discussion and would be a welcomed companion for courses in sociology, social science, or multicultural studies. It provides a platform to explore the complexity of terms such as “freewill,” “freedom,” “duty,” “obligation,” “sacrifice,” and “exploitation.”
From the Author
"Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another." This is the go-to book for readers wanting to understand life in the Asian bar world.
