Dress Code in a Pole Studio?
-
i agree with what Kobajo said about the instructors.. This is very true that instructors have a huge impact on students.
However, i don’t think a dress code should be applied to students.. -
I think it’s sad there are rules on what you can wear. yes big comps have but bit different from local studio. to me pole dancing is whatever you want it to be just like life.. it can be fun happy sporty or even emotional,powerful erotica. that why is appealed to me as it can be what ever on any day. some times I don’t even take my hoodie off sometime I’m wiggling my booty in some tiny shorts… all depends on my mood. Pole dancing is freeing as it can be anything you want it to be – its not fo someone who you pay to teach to tell you what to wear. Just my 2 pence worth. 🙂

Hi, I don’t normally participate in most of rhe SV discussions (but I do read them) bur this topic really gets under my skin. I am one of those ladies who likes to feel sexy and look tall (I’m a shorty at only 5’3, lol). Because I am short and don’t have long legs and I have a short waist and somewhat narrow hips, shorts and some tops that cover surface area actually look very unflattering on my type of physique. I would very uncomfortable, restrained, unsexy, juged and irritated if I were in this situation. Thankfully I have not had to go through at studios I have taught at or taken classes at in the past. It is fine to promote the fitness ans sporty side of pole but you don’t have to down the sexy, sensual side (or look) in the process. I would never give my business to a studio with this type of policy or attitude.

I meant ro say “shorts and some tops that cover a lot of surface area. “

Sorry for all the typos. I’m typing on a new phone with a keypad I am not used to.

Agree with you 1000% Litlbit!! Ok sorry everyone. Done with my random bursts of comments lol!

Question 1) Is clothing students are wearing causing an issue in class? 2) are girls wearing things that show too much (seriously, as long as the girlie bits are covered, who cares?) A little cheek wont hurt people. Wearing just a thong, then that might be something to approach tactfully, if it happens.)
If clothing is not causing an issue in class, then it would potentially be detrimental to make a restricted list. Part of the fun of pole is the cute polewear. They shouldn’t take that away from girls. Like I said, as long as it covers the essentials…

I do agree with kobajo in that the instructors should look professional as to not intimidate students, but if a student wants to wear cheeky shorts, more power to her!

I agree with most of what has been said here. I am already extremely body consious, but being in a supportive environment where I can wear short shorts and a sports bra and not have anyone giggle or point at jiggly bits of cellulite makes me feel extremely confident about myself.
I feel like every studio should have this general dress code: please cover privates/girlie bits/areola and genitals. I mean, besides that, who cares? If I wan walk around outside with my cleavage showing (you know, if I had any!) and be fine, why not in class? And If I can go jogging in booty shorts on a bike path, why not in class? If I attended a studio that enforced a dress code more than just covering your private bits, I would leave in a heartbeat even though it is the ONLY studio in my area. I would rather travel out of state to go someplace else than allow myself to feel shame for my body because of a dress code.

I have a no under garment policy, but aside from that am open to those wearing what they are comfortable in. I had instructed at a studio a few years ago that allowed underwire bras and panties and I felt that it was not the environment I wanted for myself. And when I say panties, I mean single layer.

Wow all these comments took me a while to read. But this has come ip st perfect timing for me. So recently I been working on my sexy side witch for me never happens. But the smaller my shorts the bettet I feel :). Well today I went to class in my tiny shorts witch I only just grown enough balls to show up in. I most say I felt uncomfortable like I was being stared at ( this may of just been me bring paranoid ;/). But I had a lot better hold in titanic and other things. So unless im teaching my tiny shorts can stay 🙂 and hope a few follow me 🙂 xxx

Is a bathing suit considered “underwear”? What would you say if you were teaching someone like me, who couldn’t find any “proper” pole clothes?
I’m curious 🙂 Definitely something we need to think about -
As a teacher, I wore ‘full coverage’ shorts and a tank in class. Always. Poling in class in underwear doesn’t seem right. I don’t even do that alone. lol.
Bathing suit bottoms are not considered underwear, I’m sure. However, most suit bottoms show more skin than shorts do….

I think everyone wants pole to be recognized as a sport and treated as much.Why wouldn’t there be a dress code? If you were in volleyball would you want a team mate wearing a thong?? Or anything skimpy like that? Unless it’s an exotic/strip class it’s not acceptable for someone to wear something that will have their body parts popping out. No one wants to see that it’s very inappropriate and inconsiderate. It would be very sad if a girl quit class because another girl made her uncomfortable.

I think something stating that “a lot of our tricks require bare skin/pole contact. But please be mindful of what you are wearing so you don’t expose more than you intended to” That’s pretty much what our instructor told us. She made sure when we signed up that we bent over, twisted, etc in the clothes we were planning on wearing and in front of a mirror BEFORE we came to class. Full crotch coverage and no nipples is all she asked for.
