What shall I wear?
Pole
Form fitting clothing, a sports top, vest, leggings and bare feet (unless taking part in a heels class). When going up the pole you will be required to wear shorts for your leg grip.
We also ask that you don't moisturise or fake tan the day you come to pole, this will just make you and the pole slippery and can be potentially dangerous.
Aerial
Form fitting clothing, a sports top, vest, leggings and bare feet. We strongly advise against any loose clothing for aerial.
