FAQs
Do I need to be strong to take pole class?
Nope, absolutely not. It is by attending class that your strength will grow and you will be able to do more than you think. Pole MAKES you strong, you don't have to be strong before you even start.
What do I wear to a pole class?
Wear a singlet and gym shorts or pants that you can roll above the knee. You'll notice that most pole dancers wear tight shorts and crop tops - that's because you require skin grip to do more advanced moves. As you progress you'll get a feel for what clothes are right for you to wear in class.
What do I wear to a Barre/Body Balance Class?
You can wear either tight gym gear, or loose fitting. As long as you're comfortable. And take it from us- you really need comfy undies. We stretch A LOT and constant wedgies are very annoying.
What do I wear to dance?
Loose, comfy clothes. Bare feet, socks or shoes are acceptable. It's up to you what you prefer to dance in.
What do I bring to class?
Just a bottle of water, small towel if you sweat a lot, and a yoga mat if you have one.
