BOBBI'S POLE STUDIO SINGAPORE
We are proud to announce the partnership between Jitterbugs Swingapore and the world’s foremost Pole Dance studio – Bobbi’s Pole Dance Studio from Sydney, Australia. Bobbi is one of the pioneers of the art of Pole Dance as we know it now and her studio also produces the annual Miss Pole Dance Australia competition.

The soft launch of Bobbi’s Pole Studio Singapore at 222 Queens Street will be in April 2010, with the official opening in Aug 2010. It will have 2 dedicated studios with 18 poles each. In other words, no more sharing of poles!

With the opening of the new Pole studio at 222 Queen Street, Jitterbugs Swingapore will cease conducting Pole and Exotic Dance classes at The Cathay.

What is Pole Dance?

Pole dancing is a form of dancing / gymnastics that takes muscular endurance and coordination as well as sensuality. It involves dancing with a vertical pole where the dancer may simply hold the pole, or use it to perform more athletic moves such as climbs, spins, and body inversions. Upper body and core strength are important to proficiency, which takes time to develop.

Pole Dance is now a recognised form of exercise adopted by women from all over the world and can be used as both an aerobic and anaerobic workout. It is more than just a sexy routine danced around a pole. It requires strength, flexibility and athleticism in order to execute the moves well and with ease. Mastering tricks on the pole is a very empowering experience.

Recognised schools and qualifications are being developed as pole dancing increases in popularity. Pole dancing is also regarded by many as a performing art.

Linna Tan is the pioneer of pole dance and the first to teach group exotic dance classes in Singapore. Linna has been featured in many publications, including The Straits Times, The New Paper, Elle, Shape, Female, IS magazine and Indulgence.
