How to prepare for your first exotic training?

Your first exotic pole training session is an exciting experience, but also full of emotions, questions, and uncertainty. What should you wear? Do you need shoes? Do you need knee pads? How should you prepare physically and mentally?

 What exactly is an exotic field?

Exotic pole is a dance style combining elements of pole dancing, floorwork, high heel work, and sensual choreography. It's not just "dancing in shoes"—it's a fully-fledged dance discipline that develops:

• strength,
• mobility,
• coordination,
• body awareness,
• confidence.

That's why clothing, accessories and preparation are of great importance from the very first training session.

What to wear to your first exotic training session? – Outfit matters.

A good exotic pole outfit should combine:

•  convenience,
• adhesion,
• freedom of movement,
• sense of attractiveness.

Depending on how much skin you want to reveal, you can choose different options:

Long trousers for exotics – for beginners and for comfort lovers

If you are just starting out or don't feel confident in very short shorts yet, the following are ideal:

• Sensual trousers – soft, flexible, beautifully draped in movement,
• Comfy pants – comfortable, convenient, perfect for your first exotic activity.

They provide a sense of security and at the same time allow you to work freely with the floor.

Shorts for exotic style – when you want more freedom

If you dream of full skin-to-floor contact and a strong exotic vibe, you can reach for:

• Flow Shorts – Shorter but Still Comfortable
• Bomb Shorts – strongly exposing the buttocks, perfect for exotic choreography and floorwork

The more skin exposed, the easier it is to achieve better grip and full freedom of movement.

Mesh clothing – sensual effect and lightness

If you like bolder styles, mesh clothing is a great complement to the look:

• Pleasure mesh pants beautifully accentuate the figure and add lightness to movements, and are also perfect for exotic choreography and recording sessions.

Which exotic top should I choose for my first training session?

A good exotic pole top must:

• hold the breasts well,
• do not move while moving,
• suitable for intensive work on the floor.

Best options to start with:

Twist or Comfort top - long sleeves, open back, great balance between coverage and sensuality, perfect for your first exotic choreographies.

Sensual shirts - soft, long-sleeved, flexible, very feminine, great for the first exotic classes and warm-up.

Pleasure mesh shirts - lighter, more visually provocative, work beautifully in motion, perfect for recordings and shows.

Knee pads – an absolute MUST HAVE for exotic

Safety is key in exotics. A lot of work goes into:

• on your knees
• in slides
• in the passages on the floor.

That's why knee pads for exotics are an absolute must.

In our offer you will find an improved version - Knee Pads 2.0 :

• three colors,
• three sizes,
• better depreciation,
• more stable hold on the leg,
• protection against bruises and abrasions.

This is one of the most important elements of an exotic pole outfit.

Do you need shoes for your first exotic training session?

Not always – many schools start without heels to teach:

• hip work,
• traffic control,
• floorwork,
• smooth transitions.

However, if you exercise in shoes:

• choose stable platforms,
• with an ankle strap,
• well-fitting to the foot.

How else can you prepare for your first exotic?

• Please arrive 10–15 minutes early,
• have water with you,
• take off your jewelry,
• eat a light meal 1.5–2 hours before,
• Don't stress - everyone has their first time at some point.
