The Pole Dance outfit made for your star sign!

Can you believe we’re half way through the year already?

No, really, we are! This upcoming season, prepare yourself for long days, warm waters and immaculate vibes as we float into Cancer Season, the official midway point of the astronomical year. Last month was a whirlwind thanks to our chaotic Geminis, but you’ll be thankful to hear this time of year is all about reflection, meditation and smooth sailing. Kickstarted by the Summer Solstice, you may be surprised to hear those born within this month are actually ruled by the lunar moon, amplifying their emotions and making them the most intuitive signs around.

Water signs are often associated with gentle yin forces, meaning they tend to wear soft textures, subdued colours and floaty pieces that are comfortable and free flowing. However, being a cardinal sign, born in the summer time, Cancers possess a mix of both yin and yang qualities, giving their wardrobes more of an edge. Whilst they embrace their strong emotions, which ebb and flow like tidal waves, they often have a tough exterior, built to protect their sensitive sides. Pole dancing Cancers are deeply in touch with their sensuality and this makes for gorgeous and artistic routines. However, they can be cautious bringing these feelings to the surface. Let it out, we say! Pole dancing is a fantastic way to engage with and channel your most intense emotions, especially when you’re wearing a dreamy new pole fit to match. This is the time to bathe in our feels, be thankful for our roots and be present in the here and now. We’ve curated a list of products, fits and kicks so mesmerising; they’re guaranteed to ease the shyest Cancer out of their shell.

When choosing your colour palette, imagine the cool blues and sea foam greens of the ocean crashing down on a pale white bed of sand.

The sparkle and shine of the sun’s rays off rock pools and still waters. Essentially, a Cancer’s wardrobe should transport you to a midnight seaside paradise. Sounds dreamy, right? Whilst Geminis love to clash their clothes, Cancer’s prefer a more cohesive look to provide a calming exterior to their otherwise rough internal waters. A matching pole set is just the thing to help a Pole Dancing Cancer reflect and mirror their surroundings like a water’s surface. The moon rules Cancers’ emotional currents similarly to the way its gravitational pull controls the tides of the sea; everchanging and vast. This alignment with the moon and ocean means our curious crabs are often drawn to reflective textures. This brings us to our first piece, the silky and irresistible Rolling Cindy Bodysuit in cloud. This bodysuit will not only amplify those charged lunar qualities, but with its smooth stretch material, ultra high-leg and open ruched back design, you're garunteed to brew up a storm! 

Whether they’re training in the studio or basking in the sand, Cancers were born to shine no matter the location. For our sparkle crazed babes, we’d recommend the CXIX Cora Triangle Top and matching High Waist Garter Bottoms in Aurora Pink. It's glittery and surprisingly soft fabrics were made to enchant and mesmerise while you glide around the pole. Being rulers of the chest and breasts, support is fundamental for Cancers, both in their relationships and in their clothing. With a new and improved design, the Cora Triangle Bra now comes with an added layer of Power Mesh to provide that extra support along with a fully lined underband, adjustable shoulder and back straps and padded cups. With a wide crotch short, this set provides ultimate peace of mind coverage, allowing you to dance without inhibitions. Glitter is more than a fashion choice...it's a lifestyle really.

Last but not least, there’s no reflective element more integral and ingrained within a Cancer’s fashion sense than water. Our reversible Rolling Vento set in Itamara Sequin embodies the reflection, intuition and enchanting nature of water signs with a sea shine that'll have Ariel diving for treasure once more. Its scoop neck and high leg design is flattering, dazzling and will make you feel as confident as you feel. 

Pole dancing can be challenging on the body, there’s no two ways about it. Distracted by the thrill of learning new tricks, pole dancers often forget the toll this type of movement has on their muscles, joints and skin.

Like any form of exercise, it’s vital to prioritse rest and rehabilitaiton and there’s no starsign more clued up on R&R then a Cancer, the homebody of the zodiac. While other water signs may move with the tides, Cancers’ are particulalry focused on establishing roots and finding security in the here and now. Home is where the heart is , and like the crab protecting it’s shell, our bodies are our homes for life and require care and love in order to thrive. Introducing the next generation of knee protection, the Tatianna Active Ultimate Kneepads.

Whilst Cancers love to wear their hearts on their sleeves, this can sometimes get them hurt, making them overly cautious about who they let down their guards with.

It’s a style of dance where you can choose to reveal as much or as little as you want, both physically and emotionally.
