Question: What Do I Wear For My Classes?
EPAT Answer:
​
For Pole: Bare skin is needed to grip the pole so wear shorts and a supportive bra and top. No footwear or jewelry and please refrain from putting any creams on the skin that day. Pole leggings, gloves and grips can be purchase directly from the studio if required.
For Aerial Hoop:
Leggings or jogging bottoms, supportive bra and top/hoodie. Preferably thick clothing as friction burn is common. Socks or leg warmers to avoid burns or bruising of the ankles/feet.
For Children:
Loose fitting clothing is recommended with multiple layers if possible. Legs and arms should be covered to protect from discomfort. We sell our own line of Essex Pole & Tone / MGM Movement children's clothing, including onesies which are highly recommend as the thick padding helps protect and keep warm while also aiding safe spotting techniques.
​
For Aerial Silks:
Close fitting clothing that covers your legs, torso and arms is recommended as this will help to protect the skin and reduce friction burns. Leggings, long sleeve tops, sports bra, jumpsuits etc.
​
For Pole Heels:
Pole dancing specific style heels and/or boots (such as pleasers, hella heels) are required for heels classes, this is because the design of the shoe, the platform and the angled fronts are specifically made to make dancing easier with more support and comfort than your average high heel. As a bonus they will make your legs look longer!
