We had booked for the massage 2 days earlier. Yes, we had to book it 2 days early as it was fully booked on that particular day we originally wanted to go for the massage!

Jari Menari is located along Jalan Raya Basangkasa in Seminyak, not very far from the Harmony Hotel where I stayed. Refer to the map here.
This is the front entrance to the massage centre.

Jari Menari literally means "Dancing Fingers". Our driver told us that the massage here was good and he highly recommended it.

The unique thing about this massage centre was that all the masseurs here were males!
I guess most people would prefer female masseurs but I did not mind at all as I badly needed a massage and I figured a man would be strong enough to give me a good, deep massage that I was craving for.

There were different types of massages to choose from and I went for the Perfect Massage priced at 350,000 rupiah (RM130) for a 90-minutes session.
In fact, all of us went for this Perfect Massage as it was the most suitable.

I took some photos of the interior while we waited for our rooms to be ready.

Before we knew it, we were called and led into the changing room where we took a shower. My two female friends were led into the another changing room at the other end. After shower, we were led to our individual rooms.
Sorry but no more photos beyond this point! : )
So how was the massage? Suffice to say I enjoyed it tremendously although I must say there were some parts where I thought the masseur was a bit too rough. But I like that they not only massage your body but also your arms and hands!
Accompanied with soothing Balinese music and chirping of birds and sound of water flowing in the background, it was 90 minutes of pure bliss! By the way, the sound of water flowing was real as there was a wall behind me with water flowing down into a pond with live fishes!
It felt really good and after the massage was over, I was totally rejuvenated!

Maybe I should go for the 4-hands massage next time! In case you do not know what a 4-hands massage is, it is actually a massage done by two masseurs at the same time!
By the way, the centre also offers training for anyone interested to learn about massage.

I wonder how that feels, I told B about it, enticed it seems haha!
i have never tried balinese massage Foong! I'd love to try it :D
How do you know it is Authentic? :p But the name is cheeky. Jari Menari. Dancing fingers. :p
Goodness, have 2 books 2 days earlier just to feel those fingers dancing on your body? War...their services must be super duper good aye. :p
Ouh....all the masseurs are males? Yeah! Perhaps male masseurs are stronger right? :p
Perfect Massage? Why it is called Perfecy Massage? Wow....90 minutes of fingers dancing on your body session for RM130. Sounds expensive to a broke bloke like me. :p
Have to take shower before they can touch you? Now that is special. :p You guys have to be really clean o.
You tremendously enjoyed it? But then again they were too rough? LOL :D Hopefully nothing is broken bro.
War....so each room they keep fishes in a pond? :p That's why so expensive. You are paying for the "water fall" and the fish. :p
4 hands massage? So the price is double? :p How about 6 hands? 8 hands? Is there such a package? LOL :D
Yeah! I wanna learn. So that I can massage my wifey. :p
Too bad there are no branches here in Malaysia or Malacca. :p If not I surely wanna learn.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..........looked like you had a LOT of fun in Bali leh aaahahhhaha
so funny the name "Jari Menari"! haha! okay last time saw ur tweet dunno how many massage session ler. lol
harr?! all male masseurs?! eee then for the ladies oso by male masseurs la dat?! cheh i tot u prefer ladies ler. :P

gosh! i think i missed one post of urs! will go back read later. happy monday panda! :D
can tell in details how and where they massaged? hahaha... the last time i did a bali massage was in penang... it was bliss too.. but the price wasnt! :)
"all the masseurs here were males!"
They should have female masseurs for female customers.
Masseurs must be males, right? Females who perform this job are called masseuses. (But heck, today actors can be males or females.)
What is so special about Dancing Fingers? Need to book 2 days in advance. Last time when I had massage in Ubud, I only walked in.
Wooo girls also massage by men?
Wah not cheap this massage! :P I heard of people going for Balinese massages at only RM30-50.. but this looks posh. :P Also, I never really trust what the drivers recommended because they usually get commission for bringing customers in to selected shops (not only massage but souvenirs/restaurants, etc)
So did you fall asleep during the massage? Or because it was too rough, you were forced to stay awake? LOL!
Sing along to the tune of ~ Dancing Queen *Fing* by ABBA ~
♫ We are the Dancing Fing,
a.k.a. Jari Menari
Dancing Fing, feel the rub, from the head to toe oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
Ooo.. see that foong, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Fing..♫
hehehe ~;)..tQ.
[Original]
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat, from the tambourine oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
Ooo.. see that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen
you like male masseurs???
just a question..
I thought RM130 is pretty high for a massage in Indonesia, albeit Bali.
Four-hand massage sounds like an orgy. Oops! haha..
yeah i had my very fist massage in shenzhen, china :) and it was awesome and fun!! our masseurs were female(aunties) and we talked naughty topics hahahaha
but i wanna try also spa in bali :) next time next time
Thanks for the post. I hope you enjoyed the massage. But I would advice you not to go for a four-hand massage. It is sometime very tiring and might hurt you this time more. Bye and have a nice week ahead.
The shop got a nice name. Dancing fingers.
I remember the 1st time i went massage, i choose the wrong package and they twisted my limbs and body XD
Pain but feels good. SM?
I wonder how it feel to have four hands pounding my body.
wait.. male masseurs for female patrons? cool! i wanna go :D but on second thought.. dun wan lah.. lol..
u notti foong. u want 2 on 1 :P
i'm interested in the training though.. shiok if i can learn to massage good good.. then can massage william... :D
or maybe i shud get HIM to learn.. so he can massage ME :)
watever lah kan? hahahaha
need to book 2 days advance.
i guess the massage should be very special one. hehehee
masseurs are males er..... i dont want hehehe. actually, females masseurs also very strong one.
never try 4 hands massage before. hehehe if 2 man i dont want...
mariuca, FC!! So much fun to chop here right? LOL! Wah, stalking me? How many times you refresh? LOL!
Maybe you and B try the 4-hands massage and tell me about it! Haha!
monica, oops! Missed FC by a split second! Haha!
Never tried Balinese massage? Go Bali and try it! : )
tekkaus, how do I know it's authentic? I don't! Haha!!
Yes, have to book early!
RM130 may be a bit expensive, but it's OK to indulge once in a while : )
Yes, of course have to take shower before a massage. It's cleaner that way.
No there's no such thing as 6-hands or 8-hands massage! LOL! Max 4-hands only!
It's good to learn massage. I can teach you also - I know some massage techniques, but not Balinese massage techniques : )
manglish, yeah I have lots of fun in Bali but not the kind you are probably thinking of! All the masseurs here are professional masseurs! : )
caroline ng, haha, definitely more than once!
Yes, ladies also massaged by male masseurs. These are professional masseurs!
What's wrong with a male masseur massaging a guy? Nothing wrong what! I'm fine with both male and female masseurs as long as their massages are good!!
I have not tried 4-hands massage so can't comment on that but I think I want to try it someday! : )
reanaclaire, what details you want to know? They massage every part except your private parts - is that detailed enough? LOL!
mei teng, why must they have female masseurs for female customers? They are professional masseurs!
khengsiong, yes actually you are right but I just take "masseurs" as a general term to mean both sexes.
Actually, nothing really special with this Dancing Fingers massage - to me at least. But it's still enjoyable! : )
che-cheh, yes! Only male masseurs here! : )
iamthewitch, Yes, my massage at my hotel was only 200,000 rupiah (RM65) and it's for 2 hours. This one was expensive but still enjoyable!
We actually did not go to Jari Menari under the driver's recommendation but it was recommended to us by a friend who had been to Bali a few times.
I almost fell asleep but did not go to sleep completely : )
bananaz, haha! That is funny!!! : D
AL, what a funny question! I have no preference - male or female masseurs are fine as long as they do a good job to my satisfaction! : )
happysurfer, yes it's quite expensive in a way but I think it's OK to indulge once in a while.
4-hands massage sound like an orgy? In what way? Btw, these are professional masseurs! No hanky panky!!
fufu, you talked naughty topics with the aunties? You are a naughty boy indeed!! : )
Yes, go try the spa in Bali next time!
afriqiyah, you advised against going for the 4-hands massage? Thanks for the advice. I would however like to try it at least once : )
mNhL, yes nice name indeed : )
kelvin, pain but feels good? You are perverted! : )
lina,I also wonder! Haha!
merryn, you should go but with your husband's consent of course! Haha!
2 on 1? Haha, funny!
Yes you should learn massage - can massage William and Ethan too! Better still you and William both learn massage - can massage each other. How fun is that!
CH Voon, so no male masseurs for you? Haha! Then go for the ladies!! : )
wow, it must be a great experience to get a feel of the Balinese massage. glad you feel rejuvenated and refreshed.
yes, a 4-hands massage sure sounds interesting. i've not experienced anything like that before.
but how come they have only male masseurs? do they have female customers?
i also like Balinese massage. very relaxing not like the Thai massage that stretches me like hell.
life ramblings, I would like to try the 4-hands massage too!
Yes, they are all male masseurs - don't know why - and yes, they do have female customers : )
eiling lim, haha, yes I guess Thai massage can be a little uncomfortable with all those stretching! : )
foong you an actually make a blog just about your spa escapades! lol
i also look forward getting massage when i go off for vacation, it's very relaxing.
dancing fingers....very nice name...jari menari .... i like bali massage...very nice and relax
oh, jari menari!! i love this name so much.. :)
only male masseurs?? hmmm, then how about female guests?? are they ok with male masseurs??
so what kind of massage did you take?? full body oil massage?? with body scrubing, body conditioning and spa?? hehe~~
RM130 for 90 minutes, i think it's not expensive.. but more importantly is how good you feel after the massage..
and the deco of the massage center looks quite ok, especially the little garden before the changing room.. got some "zen" feel~~ :)
so their tagline is "Bali Best Massage", what do you think??
hehe.. or you wanna go back to Bali again and try others to compare??
i tell you secretly.. i did not go for massage during my visit to Bali last time.. hehehehe :p pai seh
the ladies chosed to go spa treatment, and the guys chosed to go to the Kuta beach.. :D
next time, maybe next time if i go to Bali again, i'll go for spa and massage :)
i heard about 'mandi kucing' before... have you tried?
thank u so much for yr kind comments on my blog. it did cheer up some, thanks
I went to 2 different massage places in Bali. The first one was ok but i think i paid RM150. The second one told me they had special services with ladies from all over the country. i opted for the std maassage only :)
Spa...
love to try the massage
it's been awhile since i last went to spa with my mom..
i remember how relaxing and how refreshing it was
Nice place with well decoration. You are really so lucky that you have visited most beautiful places.Keep posting.
Thanks for posting, happy blogging
yeah.. massage each other.. very the fun :D
All masseurs are males? What happened to your 2 female friends?
Thanks for great sharing looking very sweets.
jari menari... wow! :D
Sensual and erotic massage are one of the coolest things on this planet.
People nowadays are too busy with the work they had and forget to give time to there selves. Why not spent a time and enjoy a relaxing massage these coming weekend :) I got my hectic schedule at work, made me stressful and make me look more terrible, but when I gave my self a time I do enjoyed it and get relax, which something feels like refreshing nor energized. What life for If we can't enjoy things in this world! Enjoy life!
