For your very first pole class, wear comfortable clothes that does no restrict your movement. Yoga shorts are recommended for pole fit class, since you will be introduced to your very first pole sit, that requires some skin grip.

Some students prefer yoga pants and a shirt, and some put on a glam look. You do you! Knee pads are required for heels class.
Are pole shoes required to take Heels class?

Pole shoes are not required to take heels class, however they are preferred, as significant portion of the class is focused on explaining how to use the platforms. If you do not have shoes yet, you can try the class barefoot and see if you want to keep going in the direction of pole dance. We do have certain sizes of rental pole shoes available at the studio at the price of $10. Knee pads are required for this class, baseball knee pads will work just fine.
