I think it really depends on who your target market is and how you are running your business. I teach aerials with my dad and we focus a lot on teen and family oriented classes. Our students are more interested in circus type apparatus and we plan on doing a fusion of chinese pole and pole dance. We have been talking to an instructor who wants to teach pole with us and offer classes to our clientele (I am just beginning at pole and no where near comfortable instructing it). A dress code and labeling classes as “pole fitness” would be essential to marketing based on our business model. Our goal would be to open pole up and down play the sexy so it can be offered to a younger group and exposed to our existing students. I believe we plan on holding workshops that will be a lot less strict and focus on sexy pole dance but our main classes will be heavy on fitness and marketed as so. I think a lot of businesses could suffer from offering something misunderstood by the community to quickly and in the wrong way. I think this is the safest way to not put my business at risk and slowly educate the community on pole dance and what it can be. I live in a place that does not have much exposure to these types of classes yet. They have seen one side of it, I can show them the other and they can land in between at their comfort zone with home practice or other studio resources we provide them. That being said, I think if my studio taught lets say pole dance and burlesque and focused on women over 18 a dress code would be more stifling than helpful. In my opinion, it all depends on your business and your students. Not every studio fits every student and I think thats a good thing cause people can try out a few places and find a true fit. Just my thoughts 🙂

it would be nice if there was a dress code. at my studio northwest pole fitness there is. its not a strip club its a gym we go there to work out not to be nude. i personally like going there because I can focus.
