SLAP Dance Studio

Pole dancing is no longer as controversial as it once was – and this studio will have you working up a sweat. Not as easy as it looks, gyrating around the pole while maintaining svelte frames requires you to work on your upper and lower body strength. Founded by Miss Pole Dance Southeast Asia 2012, Naoko Enomoto, and is crewed by a team of professionally trained instructors who have tailored unique workouts for the busy office worker, SLAP offers various leveled classes for first-timers seeking the basics through experienced dancers looking to polish their acrobatic techniques and learn new tricks. Its 8-week course starts at $250, but for a taster, opt for the 1-hour trial class at $15.
