Grip-aid is a generic term for a type of liquid chalk specifically made for use while pole dancing. They are available to buy from many online retailers as well as in the studio itself. There are many different brands with their own pros and cons. Grip-aid is not a necessity but many people train with it, especially if they find the pole too slippery. The cleaning cloth can also help with pole slipperiness. During the course of the lesson, the pole may become slippy or slick with sweat or even become coated with grip-aid! Having a cleaning cloth with enable you to wipe down the pole during the class and you can then use our in-studio bottles of pole cleaner for that extra bit of elbow grease! Your cloth would ideally be made of microfibre but most fabrics are fine. At the end of each lesson, students are required to wipe down their poles to clean them of sweat and grip-aid. Please keep your cloth in your pole bag to avoid forgetting it.
