We get asked a lot about what you should be wearing to a pole dancing class so here’s a guide on appropriate pole dancing clothing in Australia and why.
Fabrics
It’s very important to use fabrics that have a good spandex content for a figure-hugging fit and avoid spillage. Most spandex combination fabrics have good moisture-wicking qualities. It is also a good idea to find a fabric that contains anti-bacterial protection, this helps with nasty smells. This is especially important with pole shorts being so close to delicate body parts.
Most sports and pole clothes in Australia use spandex combination fabrics for this reason.
Pole shorts
So many styles and variations are available! Which one is best? There is no easy answer but let’s answer some of the questions about what a few of the most popular styles

When it comes to the top half of our body it’s pretty simple and your bra size has a lot to do with it. If you are large-breasted then you may opt for a sports bra that gives maximum support.

Knee Pads
Let’s talk about knee pads!
Pole dancing can be hard on the knees, especially when doing floor work. One of the best ways to protect your knees from injury is by wearing a good-quality knee pad. Gel-filled knee pads will cushion the knee from the impact of falling, Impact against the pole or an object.
The best style of knee pads if you are doing both pole and floor work will have a quality gel pad to the front and an open back to grip the pole. If you wear heels then you may wish to consider a velcro back fastening pair over a pull-up pair. This enables you to put them on or take them off without the need to remove your shoes. A sticky or vinyl fabric back will also help with grip whilst doing pole work.
