Dress Code in a Pole Studio?
-
depends how hot the guy is 😉 im teasing. but yes 🙂 lol
-
That’s a good question Fools! Personally, it wouldn’t bother me, I don’t know why it should be ok for women and not men. I think we are far to shameful of “skin” showing as a society and it’s just silly.
-
I’m okay with both men and women wearing minimal clothing. there was another thread on here asking how we felt about co-ed classes. at first, I said I was okay with it as long as the studio kept some classes for women only. but you know, the more I think about it, the more I realize. I would never want a man to be turned away from a class if he wanted to attend. that’s crazy! I just never encountered the situation. okay, I know that was off topic… I agree with Veena, we are too shameful of skin showing. People are offended by other peoples body and they taught to be shameful of their own body. its sad.
-
The girls who are saying they shouldn’t be ashamed of their bodies are wrong. There’s a time and place to show your vagina and boobs… And that’s with your significant other. That’s my belief and some reasoning why certain girls are saying they shouldn’t be showing that stuff it’s because they are modest not because they are ashamed, it’s different. I don’t want to see someone else’s private parts… I don’t understand why people wouldn’t care if their vagina showed in class?? If it was an accident whatever but it’s just common decency…. Some people blow my mind
-
I meant that for in a normal class but if it was an exotic class that would be different. I don’t look down on strippers if that’s what makes them happy then cool…
-
Pam, I don’t think anyone said we should be naked in a pole class setting, not a single person suggested showing off your vagina or penis in class, what would be the point in doing that?
-
a top and bottom is required. I have never seen a vagina or a nipple in class except once when the girl was upside down and her bra broke off. I think you misunderstand what we mean I wear underwear and a sports bra to classes nothing wrong with that.
-
I think a sports bra and hotpants are totally fine – so long as I don’t have to look at anyone’s vagina I don’t care too much. As for the original post, banning the brazil shorts is nuts – they’re designed for pole, they’re made to cover the important areas! Everyone has the right to wear what they want, but at the same time everyone has the right to not want some stranger’s genitalia staring them in the face when they’re trying to work out. I think well-fitting shorts should be encouraged – being partnered with someone wearing loose gappy shorts in a handstands class was extremely awkward. It’s a difficult topic.
-
Some would say being on the pole itself lacks “common decency”. I long ago learned that there is no such thing as “common” so I don’t judge those who prefer more coverage and I would hope to not be judged if my coverage differs from theirs.
-
No one ever tries to show private parts but I can say without a doubt I’ve seen some nipple and labia in class. It’s ok. It’s just we don’t always get to to test clothes, sometimes the clothing sticks to grip on the pole, whatever. I’ve had some wild experiences with this like the girl showing up in a thing for class but to be fair most people are trying to find shorts that work with pole. I have happy nipples that often like to peak out, lol! It’s embarrassing. I once demoed the superman and my student replied “and the your nipple pops out!” And there she was when I looked down so I joked that’s when you know you’re doing it right. And jumped off the pole to fix it.
This stuff generally only happens in advanced classes because we need tiny clothes and lots of skin, there is bound to be exposure at some point.
On a funny note, I’ve been dealing with an ingrown hair that turned into a cyst that turned into a swollen gland. I’ve been rocking the 70’s in my pants unable to shave and Drs aren’t excited to remove it. I’m too afraid to mess with any hair removal as you can understand and wearing long shorts has sucked and even long yoga shorts don’t do the trick. There have been a few times when my “third testicle” as I dearly call it has jumped out in pole since its on my thigh not in my business. It’s very embarrassing and sometimes hair pops out,,ugh. My students have been so supportive, it’s just a little pubic hair. No one wants to see it but if I’m demoing a straddle they get it, they avert their eyes from the horror that is my business, lol. I see the surgeon again tomorrow here’s hoping he cuts that bad boy out and I can go back to my regularly scheduled waxing and tiny shorts.

I personally know that as you advance in pole some moves require more skin and if I wear shorts I slide down and can’t do the move I need some hip and a little cheek to show to get the move so fitted bikini style underwear is perfect for me. I didn’t know people wore shorts to dance class until the 4th or 5th class I ever took when I got the nick name panties and I asked why. lol they told me they were wearing dance shorts I thought it was a different style of underwear hahaha. soon a bunch of the women followed suit and now that is the norm. I would never wear loose clothing to class. that’s just asking to have issues! lol I feel so bad for you! staring at a womans or males genitalia does not sound like the pole dancing I enjoy hahahahaaa I can imagine the face you had on. did you tell her?
and a quick tip if a chick wants to make sure nothing shows. wear two pairs! works every time!
-
No, I didn’t tell her – my instructor was standing right there too and I think we both felt a bit awkward but tried to hide it. I think she was aware of it to be honest and just didn’t care – turned out to be a bit of a strange person overall if I’m honest. But yeah any other slips that I’ve seen haven’t been too bad, always minimal and accidental, God knows when I started my shorts were kind of gapey, but I was nowhere near going upside down at that point! I understand accidents happen but I think it’s important that people aren’t exposed to things they don’t want to see as it can be uncomfortable, which is why I think thongs or other tiny underwear would be unacceptable, unless you were specifically going to a “sexy” class. But like I said before, banning the bad kitty shorts is just crazy! Nothing wrong with those! These are the ones you meant right? http://www.badkitty.com/brazil-pole-dance-shorts-8719.html

why ban those? those are full covering and have a wide genital coverage it looks like
-
This is prob TMI but the other day i was messing around and decided it would be funny to give my other half a ‘naked pole dance’ – I would like to express it was purely comical….. (lets just say i took ‘hello boys’ pole move to a hole new level) ANYHOW….. lets just say it hurt, im sure you can all guess where!?!?!
So what i have learnt is you cant pole with you lady parts out so this whole discussions is just silly 😛 as seen from my scientific evidence right there hahaha!Ps – My pole is at home – No street poling was involved in this experiment.
-
*pps. Would say wrong use of the word ‘hole’ but it works in that sentence hahaha….
