FAQ's
Please wear something comfortable to class, we prefer if you wear shorts as this allows for better grip on the poles when sitting, climbing etc. If you are not comfortable wearing shorts, then you may wear gym pants that are easy to roll up for moves that require extra skin. A tight fitting top is always best, but once again wear what you are comfortable with.
Please do not apply lotion on days that you pole dance, as this makes the pole slippery and will not allow you or anyone else who uses that pole to achieve any moves on the day. If you would like to wear shoes, please wear ballet shoes, and no trainers as these restrict your movement in class.
Please bring with a bottle of water and a sweat towel as well as any grip aides that you wish to use (these can be purchased from the studio should you need them).
