• What to wear:
  

  Pole Classes-We recommend you wear form fitting workout apparel, shorts and tank top. Please NO lotion.

  Aerial Silks-Please wear leggings (cover the knees) and a form fitting tank or t-shirt. No shoes are worn for Aerial Silks. Please remove all arm/finger jewelry prior to class.

  Barre Workouts-Comfortable workout wear is recommended

  Burlesque-Comfortable workout clothes, bare feet are fine. Burlesque heels can also be worn

• Bring a bottle of water, a small towel, knee pads and if you like some of your favorite music to dance to. We provide clean, sanitized yoga mats
• Please remove all rings and bracelets before using the poles and the silks, this is for the safety of your jewelry and to avoid scratching the poles and ripping the silks.
• Remove all lotion and oil from your skin, it will make the poles slippery and cause difficulty in learning the tricks and movements

8. Do I have to wear high heels?
Absolutely not, high heels are completely and totally optional. If you have never been to a pole class before you may find it easier to take your first class barefoot. However, I will tell you, when you do Pole in high heels, you’re in for an fantastic workout! Everything is a little bit harder. You may also find that high heels bring out that sexy part of you, that part we tend to neglect and keep hidden.

9. What should I wear and bring?
Wear shorts, a tank top and sport bra. You do need bare skin on your legs to do many of the spins and tricks we learn in the classes, so shorts really are necessary. Please don’t be self-conscious, we are an all women studio, we foster a very supportive, and a non-judgemental community of women. You are welcome here! If you have a yoga mat, you are free to bring it, otherwise we have them at the studio for you. You may also want to bring water, you work up a sweat Pole Dancing. If you are attending a dance or fitness class, standard workout clothes and tennis shoes are fine.

Absolutely not! We have women all ages, shapes and sizes at our studio. Our goal is to help you meet your fitness goals and walk with you on your journey. Again, everyone starts somewhere. Take that first step, you will not regret it! You will be surprised at how quickly your body responds to the love you give it, by exercising and eating right.

11. What if I’m late for the class?
If it’s your very first class we ask that you arrive 15 minutes or so, before class begins, to fill out a little bit of paperwork. After your first class, of course it’s always better if you’re on time, but we understand, things happen. We appreciate it if you do not come to class more than 10 minutes after the class has begun. This is for your safety, pole dancing, as well as the other classes we offer here, are strenous and we warmup well, to avoid injury. We don’t want you to get hurt. There are no exceptions to this policy. If possible please give us a call, let us know you won’t be making it and we’ll sign you out of the class.

12. What if a class is full?
If a class is full, you can add yourself to the waiting list. We encourage you to do this, as students sign out of classes all the time. Once you are added to the waiting list you will be contacted, via email, once a spot opens up.
