Bear Grips Pro ShopsPlus-Size Pole and Dance Studio Merch
- Pole dancing clothes plus size and pole wear for plus size searches usually mean grip-specific practice wear, which is not printed here.
- Studio merch, the tee and hoodie a student wears to and from class, is a separate and very sellable category.
- A relaxed tee and a flowy tank cover the widest range of student preferences.
- Recital and showcase apparel is a natural once-a-year sales spike for any dance studio.
Grip-Wear Versus Studio Merch
Pole-specific practice wear uses a grip fabric finish on the thigh and torso, a construction detail this catalog does not produce. A studio should keep sourcing that piece from a pole-specific brand. The apparel category this catalog is built for is everything a student wears outside of active pole time: the tee they arrive in, the hoodie they leave in, and the tank they wear to a mixed-level class where grip fabric is not required.
The Studio Merch Lineup
| Piece | Brand | Best for | VIP base |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flowy scoop muscle tank | Bella+Canvas | Mixed-level class, relaxed fit | $25.88 |
| Womens favorite tee | Bella+Canvas | Arrival tee, fitted cut | $19.88 |
| Comfort soft hoodie | Bear Grips | Post-class layer | $36.88 |
| Womens premium cropped hoodie | Bella+Canvas | Showcase and recital merch | $47.88 |
Recital and Showcase Apparel
Annual showcases, recitals, and student performances are the highest single-day sales moment for any dance studio merch shop. A one-off showcase design, sold to students and their families for a few weeks around the event date, brings in revenue from people who never buy studio apparel the rest of the year. See the oversized and relaxed-fit design guide for placement ideas that work well on a cropped hoodie.
Sizing Across Fitted and Relaxed Styles
A studio that stocks both a fitted tee and a cropped hoodie is effectively offering two different fit philosophies, and each has its own size chart. Check both before listing them side by side as equal options. Build the shop at Bear Grips Pro Shops and let students choose the fit that works for them.

Do you make pole-specific grip-wear?
No. Grip fabric practice wear is a specialty category from pole-specific brands. This catalog covers arrival tees, tanks, and hoodies worn outside of active pole time.
Whats the best piece for a recital or showcase?
The Bella+Canvas premium cropped hoodie at $47.88 VIP base tends to sell well as a one-off showcase keepsake piece.
Can I sell showcase merch to family members, not just students?
Yes. Showcase and recital designs are commonly bought by parents, partners, and friends attending the event, not only the performers.
How fast can a showcase order arrive before the event?
About a week per order. List the design a few weeks ahead of the showcase date to give families time to order.
