Name : Makiko Kamata Age : 32 Occupation : Secretary Experience : 1 year and 6 months I started taking pole dancing lessons because I heard it was a good full-body exercise and I wanted to be stronger. It’s refreshing to feel the body parts I never knew existed being stretched. The more you practice the better you get which motivates me and it has empowered my life. |

Name : Chikako Nishida Age : 41 Occupation : Mental Corach Experience : 1 year and 6 months I wanted to start taking dance lessons where I can also exercise. I came across Instructor Lu’s show on Youtube which took my breath away.
When I first started I was stunned how much muscle movements were involved all over my body. Soon I was addicted to the sense of achievement in performing new moves. It is unbelievable how much it has transformed my body and how much muscle I have now!
As a 40 something woman, I am quite happy with the progress I have been making on my “fight against the flab”. No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to start. Your body will change gradually and it will make you feel good about yourself. It’s really fun! Chikako has since joined Pole Dance Tokyo as one of our receptionists! |

Name : Emma Age : 34 Occupation : Engineer Experience : 6 motnhs I enjoy pole class since I need to focus both body and mind, and cannot think about work while I’m there. Teachers and students are friendly and easy going, which gives the studio a nice and motivating atmosphere. You do not need to be super skilled to enjoy, and can learn at your own pace, just for fun. |

Name : Yoshino Age : 27 Occupation : Student Experience : 6 months Burlesque classes are great for bringing out girls inner beauty! Basically we choreograph one song throughout each month. We learn how to express ourselves using chairs and other items that we don’t normally use and how they actually look on the stage. The instructors are very knowledgeable – they help us every step of the way.
You only live once! Why don’t you experience the thrill of Burlesque as a performer? |

Name : Frances Somerville Age : 35 Occupation : Tax Manager Experience : 1 year Having seen aerial tissu at Cirque du Soleil, when the classes first started in January 2010, I really wanted to try it out. I found it quite difficult to begin with as aerial tissu requires a lot of upper body strength. However, the good thing about tissu is that even from the first class, I was able to make some really cool moves and I found that week by week I got stronger and really enjoyed the sense of achievement that comes with being able to do new and more complex moves including drops. |

Name : Naomi King Age : 25 Occupation : Lawyer Experience : 10 months I had wanted to try aerial hoop for a while in Australia after seeing a video of one of my favourite pole dancers do it. That’s why I was so happy when I found out that Pole Dance Tokyo offered aerial hoop classes, and that I would be able to try it once I moved to Tokyo. |
