What to Wear for Pole

One of the most common questions is "What do I wear?" 

You're probably wondering if booty shorts are a requirement? Well only if you want to wear them :) 

The reason polers wear shorts is that we need grip to be able to pull off tricks on the pole. In short (pun intended), you need more bare skin for grip... Which is obviously important for safety too. 


In the beginning, you'll learn new skills and techniques, like climbing and sitting, so many newbies choose to wear longer/fuller coverage shorts. 

In your first few lessons, it's fine to wear joggers or leggings. As you progress it's fine to continue wearing leggings, but it may mean sitting out some moves for safety reasons.


However, we encourage students to stick to what they're comfy with, and go at your own pace :)
