What to Wear to Your First Pole Class

So, you’ve signed up for your first pole dance class! Exciting, right? Now, let’s talk about what to wear. The right attire can make a big difference in your comfort, confidence, and performance.

Clothing Choices:

• Tops:
  • Sports Bras: A well-fitting sports bra offers support and prevents discomfort. Opt for one with removable pads if you prefer extra coverage.
  • Tank Tops or Camisoles: These provide a balance of comfort and style. Choose a fitted style that won’t interfere with your movements.
• Bottoms:
  • Shorts: Short shorts or booty shorts are popular choices as they allow for freedom of movement and prevent fabric from getting caught on the pole.
  • Leggings or Tights: These provide full coverage and can be helpful for beginners who may feel self-conscious. Look for moisture-wicking fabrics to stay comfortable.

Footwear:

• Barefoot or Socks: Many pole dancers prefer to go barefoot or wear socks for better grip on the pole.
• Pole Dance Shoes: If you want to add a bit of height and style, consider investing in a pair of pole dance shoes. These specialized shoes have a unique design that enhances grip and performance.

Tips for Choosing the Right Outfit:

• Comfort is Key: Choose clothing that allows you to move freely and comfortably.
• Grip Matters: Opt for fabrics that provide good grip, such as cotton or spandex. Avoid fabrics that are too slippery or too loose.
• Body Coverage: The amount of body coverage is a personal preference. Some dancers prefer minimal clothing, while others prefer more coverage.
• Accessorize: Add your own personal touch with accessories like hair ties, headbands, or jewelry.

Remember, the most important thing is to feel confident and comfortable in what you’re wearing. As you progress in your pole dancing journey, you’ll develop your own unique style and preferences.

Have fun and enjoy your first class!
