“Very much inspired by J.Lo’s video showing how she learned to pole dance for the movie Hustlers, I was intrigued to switch up my regular workout routine, push my body and conquer the pole! It absolutely is a total body workout that includes core and upper body strength, flexibility, timing, dance and a fun dose of sensuality — all to really good music! While I looked far from the effortlessness J.Lo, our fabulous and fun teacher Jasmine made us all feel super comfortable and supported (literally holding us up!). Feeling stronger, emboldened and more confident, I have been back for another class as I would love to learn some of the Cirque du Soleil-type routines and techniques that I am in awe of now that I follow SLAP Dance Studio on Instagram.”
