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 seaside paradise at midnight. 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 pole set, the iridescent and irresistible Sorte Full Moon Top and Bottoms in champagne pink. This set will not only amplify those charged lunar qualities, but with its silky lycra material and bootilicious, lace up shorts, it’s impossible not to feel sensual.

Whether they’re training in the studio or basking in the sand, Cancers were born to shine no matter the location. For our beach crazed babes, we’d recommend Cleo the Hurricane’s shimmering Rose Gold Twist sports bra paired with the reflective, metallic gold hot pants. With its beautiful bronzy foil colour as well as reversible fawn matt lining, you’ll feel transported to sun-kissed sands and towering cairns. Being rulers of the chest and breasts, Cancers love a good cleavage moment. Designed with a stylish twist detail, this top will enhance all your assets whilst keeping everything in place during your most intense tricks, flow and even half marathon training, notes one customer. Support and stability are fundamental factors for Cancers, both in their relationships and within their clothing, making this set a must – have, providing maximum support up top with a wide crotch design for peace of mind coverage down below. It’s time to let down those barriers, dance without inhibitions and ride the hurricane wave.

Last but not least, there’s no reflective element more integral and ingrained within a Cancer’s fashion sense than water. Our best-selling Fanna X top and Bottoms embody the fluidity, intuition and enchanting nature of water signs with a sea green teal fabric so gorgeous even Ariel would crave the ocean once more. Its strappy design is flattering, edgy and will make you look as confident and strong as you feel. Did we mention teal is totally the Cancer power colour?

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.
