Dress Code in a Pole Studio?
-
The studio I go to does not have a dress code. And I love it as it’s the only place where it’s completely normal and I feel comfortable to walk around in a crop top and booty shorts. Everyone should feel free to take what they want from pole. Looking around in my class and when we do solo performances there’s a range of dances from sexy and sensual to theatric to contempory. Everyone should be free to enjoy pole in their own unique way and the clothing comes with this.
I wouldn’t go to a studio that ‘forces’ any one perspective of pole (eg fitness only). let students decide what they want it to be.

I personally hate the idea of a dress code. Of course, good fitting sports attire must be worn – no gaping shorts, no “happy” nipples showing, lol. But more than that? Hell, no! Everybody should be able to wear what he or she likes.
I always LOVED how it changed what my students wore, over time. Level 1: shorts that must be rolled up because they are too long for a pole sit, and wide tops. Level 2: shorts that are just short enough, and tight-fitting tops. Level 3 and higher: shorts become more skimpy, (a little bit of) butt cheeks showing is not a problem anymore, and where have the shirts gone? Everyone’s wearing sports bras only! 😀
This shows how “brave” and simply accepting of themselves those girls and women have become, which is GREAT! And not only accepting of their own bodies. Many see that having different body types is totally okay, they learn to embrace their big butt or tiny boobs, or little potbelly. They see that all these things are nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing to be made fun of. They know that, because they can learn it in a save environment, where no-one is to be judged. I remember the day one very shy student showed up in booty shorts for the first time: everyone complimented her so much, she did not stop smiling for the rest of the day, I swear. She never wore anything else 😀
Me, I seldomly wear shorts that don’t cover my whole butt – but that’s just because that’s the way I like them. Anything less would turn into a thong sooner or later (as some other girls have experienced here), and I don’t like the feeling of that ^^ -
PS: I once went to a studio where everybody was wearing sooo much. I only had my normal pole wear with me (butt-covering shorts, a sports bra and a tank top), but the studio’s regulars all wore long pants and sweatshirts or t-shirts until the moment it came to inverting. (Some did not even take their shirts off then.) I felt really nasty wearing so little among those fully dressed women!! I felt ashamed of my body, of my cellulite, that nobody else was showing, of my wobbly thighs. I have NEVER felt like that before, when everybody’s cellulite and wobbly thighs were showing, too. It was like being the only one naked in a sauna when everybody else wears bathing gowns.

I definitely haven’t seen anyone wanting to show their vagina or anything in class. Nor have I heard anyone here wanting to show these things.

So glad I came across this post.
I agree with, mostly, everything everyone has already said.
In MY pole experience… I, myself, do NOT feel comfortable in my body and will NOT wear skimpy clothing… I do not care at all what other people wear.. I don’t mind “Fruit Cup” accidental exposures or the nipple pop. Doesn’t offend me at all.
I have managed to work my routines and pole tricks around my full torso coverage.. I actually pride myself for being able to pull the tricks off, safely. I just do not feel comfortable without the coverage. (Low self esteem.. Etc., and apparently, from what everyone tells me, I have zero reason to feel uncomfortable.)
I’ve been pole dancing for just about 2 years and even though I’ve grown and have started to appreciate my body.. I love both “fitness” and “sexy” aspects of poleRecently, my instructor upgraded some body parts (she is also a personal friend, aside from being my instructor) She has started wearing extremely skimpy clothes and I have to admit… Even this far in the game.. I kind of feel more insecure about my body when she has her skimp wear on. It doesn’t “offend” me… But I can definitely understand how “new” people could feel self conscience starting out because even I do, sometimes.
As far as a “dress code” at my studio. There isn’t one, but if there is a “Fruit Cup Flash” it’s not the end of the world and it certainly wasnt the objective of the person exposing.
Earlier on in this thread, I’m sorry I can’t remember who mentioned this, something was mentioned about the Olympics and pole. Personally, I don’t really want to see it go in that direction. I like the small community, mystery and the part about being FREE and moving exactly as you wish. I think the Olympics would main stream pole too much. THAT being said… It would be nice for the general population to understand that “Pole Dancing” isn’t a filthy- trashy “Thing”… The Olympics would help with that, I believe.
Ok- if you made it this far.. Thanks. Sorry I got off topic.

PS- The only thing that I don’t appreciate is Fruit Cup Juices… I think it’s like sneezing in your hand and then trying to shake another persons hand. GROSS!
Have a gasket between your vagina and the pole, floor or chair. Nobody else needs to romp around somebody else’s “stuff”.
SANITARY.
The end! ðŸ˜ðŸ’— -
@FoolsErrand What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I think the same rules should apply to the girls and the guys. If girls can go skimpy, boys can too.

Ummmmm wow I didn’t say that either. I basically said we should make sure we wear clothes that would protect our private parts because it’s not very professional and modest to have private parts popping out… I think everyone agrees. Jesus Christ…like in your videos veena you wear the right amount of clothing there wouldn’t be a chance of anything coming out.If you wore a bra and underwear or a thong do you think most people would take you seriously?I wouldn’t. God I can’t even post my opinion without someone being rude to me I thought people on here were nice guess not!
-
I repeat… I think it’s important to at least try to avoid pp coming out…that’s it. And I’m sorry the whole point of a comment section is to post your own opinion I don’t care about anyone else’s opinion of MY OPINION. Especially a rude one. That is all….
-
Smaed- I never heard the term “fruit cup” hehe 🙂 I like that. I’m gonna have to use that one.
-
Oh no PamFern… I hope *I didn’t say anything offensive about your opinion. I had no intention of doing that, if I am who your last comment was geared towards. I’m sorry. 🙁
I think everyone opinions has a meaning and reason for them to have their own. I respect any and all.
I do apologize if that was me who upset you. :-/ -
Lilredrobinhood- I also sometimes say “my fruit cup is now a smoothie”, especially after some of those crotch pole contact moves. Haha! OUCH!
-
One more thing-
I used to teach Stott Pilates.. Some of my ladies would wear jogging shorts.. While seems fine, right? Well, when you don’t wear panties and I’m working near your crotch trying to help your balance with your legs straight up and slightly apart.. The Fruit Cup exposure was in large quantities. Haha! -
PamFern, you’ll find that if you reply to something with a harsh and sarcastic tone others will respond in the same manner. We miss understood what your point was when you made your first comment. I think everyone here agrees that it’s best to wear something that covers your genitals and boobs when in a pole class.

I just changed my mind I want to do naked pole classes. just kidding. Im sorry if I sounded rude at all. hugs
