Dress Code in a Pole Studio?
-
i don’t think there should be a dress code IF it’s a class with all women & a woman instructor, or all men & a man instructor. we all know the more skin exposed the better you can grip so that makes learning new tricks safer.

I don’t think pushing a specific dress code will lower potential exposure but I think it could inhibit many women. Part of showing up in booty shorts and a sports bra is the self acceptance. It doesn’t matter what your body looks like but how we feel in regards to it. I’m loving the comments made by many posters talking about their journey into pole appropriate wear. Day one we often show up in bike shorts and a tank top, we hide our bodies because we are afraid. I think imposing modesty requirements is stupid when you realize most women are too modest to wear the required pole clothing in the beginning.
A prime example of modest wear is the monokini, the monokini is a big culprit of nip slips because the fabric gets stuck on the pole and hello nips! I see part of my job is to teach what to wear and help clients maintain their desired level of modesty which means dealing with butt cheeks and nipples. Ill never condemn a slip here and there and am always available for clothing discussions.
Even in mixed gender classes I guess I just give adults enough credit to look away and understand. My breasts have popped out of sports bras before. I’m lucky enough to be able to test drive clothes before class
not everyone wants to pole for two hours before class. It’s rare that anyone purposely tries to immodest. That’s all I’m saying. We need to approach this subject with sensitivity. -
Ok… So if everyone agrees like you said then there should be a dress code and there’s no point to this whole post. Hahaha

Guys, don’t feed the trolls…⬆ï¸
I think this was a great discussion!

The only reason why I even commented on this post is because I saw some girls saying there should be a dress code and they were being critized and other girls saying “you shouldn’t be ashamed of your body”. I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t protect that part of your body coming out thus enforcing a dress code. I don’t know that’s just me were all raised differently….

To my caring and lovely members, this is a perfect example of a troll.
Definition: An internet ‘troll’ is an abusive or obnoxious user who uses shock value to promote arguments and disharmony in online communities. Named after the wicked troll creatures of children’s tales, an internet troll is someone who stirs up drama and abuses their online anonymity by purposely sowing hatred, bigotry, racism, mysogyny, or just simple bickering between others. Trolls like a big audience, so they frequent blog sites, news sites, discussion forums, and game chat. Trolls thrive in any environment where they are allowed to make public comments.
Continue with your conversation everyone. xoxox

I think it’s a good idea for studios to post their students usual pole attire either on a website on the FQ section or in the studio somewhere. It could also be helpful if someone calls the studio, for the studio to mention what students typically wear, this way new people know what to expect. As VanillaryPuff mentioned being in a class with fully clothed dancers and being the only one who had shorts and tank can be uncomfortable too. Most people just want to blend in! I still think that saying a brand or particular style is not allowed is going a bit too far. Most of us have the common sense to decide if something is not going to stay in place, and often we figure it out! lol I’ve had to re-shoot lessons and video because one of my trusty tops or bottoms was just not so trusty that day! lol
I think as long as someone knows that a class is geared more towards sexy pole wear (this can be an important part of learning about your sexuality) then they can make an informed decision if that class is right for them.
I agree with Charley that implementing a dress code because a pole studio is hoping to promote modesty in pole dance is not necessary AND it disregards much of what pole can teach us about ourselves and our bodies. This is coming from someone who grew up in a home where taking a bath or shower naked seemed wrong!

Holy crap. The troll better be careful! We are very protective of our Veena!! Let’s be respectful! Hope you and Webbie have removed her from this site.

Trolls NEVER win.. And this is fact.
This was a great discussion 🙂 -
Just ignore people like that. they want you to interact with them. they have very sad unfulfilled lives…
-
Look back on the comments. I clearly didn’t offend anyone and veena was rude to me for no reason. I was merely defending myself…how is defending yourself being a troll? Lmfao. And actually I have an amazing and successful life people are allowed to defend themselves 😉 but keep posting comments talking about me ladies I’ve gotten a real laugh at your ignorance 😂

When you start a post with “The girls who are saying they shouldn’t be ashamed of their bodies are wrong.” you can’t be shocked when people are offended. That statement is inflammatory. Perhaps you should choose your words better if you don’t want to be perceived as a troll.
