Pole Dance Shorts and Pole Dance Pants with Grip
Grip on the pole often determines whether a move succeeds or if you constantly have to readjust your grip – which is why grip is not a nice-to-have but a basic requirement for pole dance shorts and pole dance pants. The Sienna Pants' cheeky cut provides maximum freedom of movement and precisely the grip that matters for spins, tricks, and floorwork, while the Chrissy Pants specifically support you with grip and control on the pole. Our Mesh Shorts for women are made from a mesh-like structure that perfectly hugs the body, is comfortable, and stays figure-hugging. For floorwork and groundwork, knee pads complement the look without restricting freedom of movement.
Pole Dance Shorts High Waist for the perfect fit
A high waistband gives you extra support at the waist, especially during demanding moves - which is exactly what our Pole Dance Shorts High Waist and Pole Dance Pants High Waist deliver. The Chrissy Pants sit slightly higher on the waist and offer optimal support with their high-waisted cut. The Libre Shorts use the same high-waisted cut, combined with a slightly wider waistband for a comfortable fit. Elly Pants and Sienna Pants also sit high on the waist and provide additional stability for your core, creating a continuous look from waist to torso when combined with one of our bodysuits.
Short vs. Long Pole Dance Shorts/Pants
Short shorts are suitable if you need maximum visibility of your legwork during training – our Mesh Shorts, Cabaret Shorts, and Lotus Shorts fall into this category and fit snugly. Long pole dance pants like the Elly Pants or Chrissy Pants, on the other hand, offer more coverage on the backside without restricting you during warm-ups, stretching, or on the pole. Which length suits you best mainly depends on how much coverage you prefer on your legs or backside. A light top completes the training outfit in both cases.

Pole Dance Shorts FAQ
Why do pole dance shorts need grip?
Grip on the inside or at the back prevents you from slipping off the pole during spins or inversions and constantly having to readjust your grip. Models with a skimpier cut at the back, like our Sienna Pants, are specifically designed for this pole grip and give you additional freedom of movement for spins, tricks, and floorwork.
Short or long pole dance shorts?
It depends on the desired coverage: short shorts offer a clear view of the legwork, while long pants like the Elly Pants provide more coverage for the glutes without restricting movement during warm-ups, stretching, or on the pole. Those who prefer more coverage tend to opt for the long version.
