1. What should I wear to pole class?

Please wear a t-shirt, tank top or sports bra, shorts or capris. The more skin the better! For shoes, you can wear heels (with an ankle strap) or go barefoot.

For your safety and others, please DO NOT WEAR any jewelry, soaps, oils or lotions to pole class. Jewelry gets stuck on clothing and the pole. Soaps, oils and lotions make the skin slippery and are hazardous when trying to execute different movements in class.
