Pole Dance
There are two main types of pole dance: classic pole dance and exotic pole dance. Classic pole dance is practiced barefoot and provides opportunity to use more aerial tricks in your performance. During exotic pole dancers wear special high heels shoes and main focus is on dancing on the ground around the pole.
It is recommended to start with classical pole and try exotic pole later. However you can also start directly with exotic pole.
Our classic pole course system is divided into levels and each level goes over 16 weeks, which are split into following parts:
- Level program on static and spinning pole (8 weeks)
- Perfection & Combinations (4 weeks)
- Choreography (4 weeks)
Such approach has been proven to be more effective than shorter courses, first of all the course is long enough for you to build required strength for challenging moves, after you know all the elements and tricks we focus on fluid execution and transitions between moves in “Perfection & Combinations” part and finally to put it all together and learn a choreography using everything we learned.
What to Wear
When attending a classic pole dance class, it’s essential to wear attire that allows for freedom of movement while providing coverage and grip.
For the warm-up portion of the class, you can wear long sport pants, socks, and a T-shirt to keep your muscles warm and comfortable. However, once you transition to pole work, it’s important to switch to attire that allows for proper grip and movement.
Avoid wearing excessively slippery or loose clothing, as they can hinder your ability to grip the pole and increase the risk of injury.
As you progress to pole work, you’ll need to change into a pole-specific outfit that facilitates grip and movement. Here are some additional recommendations:
- Pole Shorts: Short, snug-fitting shorts are essential for maintaining grip on the pole and allowing for fluid movement.
- Pole Top: Choose a supportive pole top that provides coverage and allows for freedom of movement.
- Leg Warmers (Optional): Some dancers prefer to wear leg warmers instead of sport pants to keep themselves warm during warmup.
- Knee Pads: it is recommended to wear knee pads to protect your skin and joints during floorwork and transitions.
- Minimal Jewelry: Remove any excessive jewelry or accessories that could snag on the hoop or interfere with your movements.
- Grip Aid: Consider using grip aids like chalk or grip-enhancing lotions to improve your grip on the pole, especially if you have sweaty hands.
By wearing the appropriate attire, you’ll not only feel more comfortable and confident during your class but also ensure your safety and enjoyment throughout your classic pole dance practice. For your convenience we have a shop in the studio and online with stylish and comfy pole shorts, pole tops, and accessories from Lollipole (link to website) to amp up your pole dancing game. Dive into the comfort of premium fabrics and thoughtful design, tailored to make your moves even smoother.
What to Bring
- Water Bottle: Hydration is key during any physical activity, so be sure to bring a water bottle to stay refreshed throughout your class.
- Towel: Don’t forget to bring a big towel to cover your mat during class. It’s a small but essential item that’ll keep your mat clean and provide a hygienic surface for your practice.
- Grip Aid: Will be provided in the studio (Lupit pad and Monkey Hands).
What Not to Do Before Class
To make the most of your pole dance experience and ensure your safety, here are a few things to avoid before attending class:
- Applying Lotion: Moisturizers and oils can create a slippery surface on your skin, making it difficult to grip the pole. Avoid applying these products before class (at least 1 hour before).
- Heavy Meals: Eating a large meal right before class can make you feel sluggish and uncomfortable. Especially when you perform inverted positions. Aim to eat a light snack or meal at least an hour or two before your class.
- Alcohol or Drugs: Pole dance requires focus, coordination, and balance, so it’s best to avoid alcohol or recreational drugs before attending class.
