Love shoulder stands but don't love shoulder pain?

Wearing a big sweatshirt for floorwork is cozy for five minutes, then it starts getting in the way. You get lost inside it. Hoodies are the worst! And once you start moving, you’re overheating fast.

So you take it off. Now it’s bare skin on hard floors, which means bruises, burns, and zero protection where you actually need it.

You don’t need more fabric everywhere.
You need targeted coverage that looks hot and stays cool.

You need the Bee’s Knees Floorwork Shrug.

Made for Pole. Made for YOU.

For Newbees

Starting floorwork can be intimidating when every roll and shoulder stand leaves you sore. The Floorwork Shrug gives you confidence to try new things with light protection in the places that make first contact.

For Floor Explorers

If you live for low flow, rolls, slides, and creative transitions, you already know the floor isn’t forgiving. The shrug cushions your shoulders, spine, and elbows without trapping heat, so you can move freely, stay cool, and keep the vibe sexy.

For Instructors

You demo constantly, often multiple times per class, and that wear adds up fast. The Floorwork Shrug helps protect the areas that make repeated contact with the floor, supporting your shoulders and spine so you can keep teaching.

"If I had the means and the wherewithal I would have invented this myself. This is absolute perfection, and worth every dollar. Thank you so much for saving my thin skin!"

"I have been a long time BK fan, and when I saw the Floorwork Shrug coming, I got on the list immediately! It shipped as soon as it was available, and did not disappoint. The little bit of padding on the upper back and elbows is just enough to take the impact out of hard floors, and the thumb holes keep the sleeves in place as you slink around. It is NOT too warm, and the cutouts under the arms keep you cool and dry. The cut in the front is perfect for all sized busts, and I LOVE the color! When you order this, follow the measurement guide, it's right. I was confused at first, but I reached out to Bee and got immediate help. Always great service, fast shipping, and quality products!"

"I officially love the Floorwork Shrug. I'm a big fan of shoulder stands, but I always end up with that signature bruise on the top of my shoulder every time I really get into training weird new shoulder stand transitions, and it means I can't train them as frequently as I'd like.I recently did a 20 minute practice session of shoulder and elbow-heavy moves in the Floorwork Shrug, and my skin feels SO much better than it normally would! I didn't slide out of position either - the neoprene padding is smooth but not as slippery as the spandex on the rest of the garment, so I felt secure in really leaning into my shoulder and elbows as points of contact on the floor. Definitely would recommend if you're serious about rolling around on the floor. Saves your skin for the pole and protects against grinding any tiny little particles of hard dirt or splinters on the floor into your skin (which always feels like gravel and razor blades no matter how small)! Thanks, Bee, for making a garment designed to protect even more points of contact that take a beating when we dance!"

A Message From Bee

I’m Sara Bee, the Bee behind the sexy pole dance shrug that protects your shoulders, elbows, and upper spine. Want to know why it's the best? It’s because the Floorwork Shrug was made for pole, and made for you. 

Well Made. 

Shoulder pain when doing shoulder rolls and shoulder stands has been a thing in the pole community since I started over ten years ago. Back then, I even saw pole dancers joking on Instagram about sticking maxi pads to their shoulders as a solution! What I didn't see was anyone doing anything to solve this common problem, so I decided to take it on. After eight different prototypes and experimenting wtih different fabrics and designs that would be durable and wear well while also offering Bee's Knees signature protection-without-the-bulk, the Floorwork Shrug was born.

Thoughtfully Designed.

The Floorwork Shrug has 3mm scuba material covering the essential part of the shoulder: the acromion. The acromion is the bony point toward the end of your shoulder that's mostly likely to take a beating when doing lots of shoulder rolls or shoulder stands. That same 3mm protection covers the upper spin and elbows. The firm hand finish on the materials makes floorwork a breeze, and the thumbholes keep the sleeves in place so the padding is where you need to be. If your floorwork flow heats up, the mesh fabric is there to help cool you down. The shrug style accommodates all chest sizes, so you can be sure to get all the protection and style with the fit you need.

Made for Pole. Made for You.

The Floorwork Shrug exists because no one else was making gear that actually protects pole dancers during real floorwork. This isn’t repurposed gym wear or a flimsy accessory pretending to help. It’s the first of its kind, purpose-built for the contact, pressure, and movement patterns you put your body through. Every detail came from pole dancers who needed better: strategic padding for shoulder stands and rolls, breathable mesh to keep you cool, and a shrug-style fit that works on every body. If you train low flow, transitions, or floorwork, this piece was built for your practice, your comfort, and your confidence.

Now that you know all that goes into it, you can see why the Floorwork Shrug is the only one of its kind. It is well made, thoughtfully designed, and ethically produced to be the best.
