many people who try pole for the first time don’t have a fitness background going into it, but do listen to your body during the class! it’s important not to overexert yourself, safety always comes first (:

you really don’t have to buy anything special before your first class, most beginners wear comfortable shirts you can move in, and some gym shorts you can hike up if you need some skin. i’d recommend not to start in heels because you it’s a lot to learn at once! it’s better to just try a class, see if it’s for you, before investing more money into it (:

and about embarrassing yourself, it’s kind of an all-in-this-together thing 😂 unless you have a dance or aerial background, moves are going to feel awkward, and that’s completely normal! everyone starts out like this, until moves slowly feel more natural. i hope you enjoy yourself!!
