If you’ve ever tried pole dancing, then you know that quality pole dancing poles are essential if you want to have the best experience. The last thing you want is your pole breaking or falling while you’re trying to hang off it!

Pole dancing has quickly gained popularity over recent years and whether you’re a beginner, an intermediate or if you’re dancing for fun and fitness, you will find that pole dancing is great for toning the body, for boosting your self confidence, losing weight and improving your relationships (if you know what I mean..!?). After a pole dancing class you will walk out feeling much fitter and of course sexier!

Pole dancing is a form of exotic dance which involves dancing sensually with a vertical pole and it’s no longer just for the strip clubs. Pole dancing schools are popping up all over the place now as people begin to realize the physical benefits of this type of dance. Pole dancing is also a lot of fun!

It is also essential that pole dancers or pole dancing teachers make sure they’re using good quality pole dancing poles, because to purchase a sub standard pole could cause serious injury – or much worse.

So what do you look out for?

First you need to decide what type of pole you want. Do you want a Platform pole, a semi permanent pole a permanent pole, or is the popular X Pole more to your liking? This of course will be determined by where you or your students will be dancing and what your personal requirements are.

Platform poles need to be specially mounted. They’re typically used outdoors or where you have high ceilings to deal with. Platform poles are popular because they can be moved around, and the stage allows for a more sensual performance.

Semi permanent poles differ from permanent poles in where they’re mounted. The semi permanent pole is mounted to the ceiling only, and the permanent pole is mounted to both the ceiling and the floor.

The popular X Pole is slightly different again and is popular with professional pole dancers for the following reasons:

• There are no ceiling fixings required so it’s easier to install;
• It only takes minutes to assemble;
• It is portable – great for those parties!
• You can choose from either a static or spinning pole;
• It has an adjustable height;
• They’re very stable;
• They’re very cost-effective.

So if you’ve ever considered purchasing a pole dancing pole either for yourself or if you’re a pole dancing teacher, there are several choices available, however it is important you go with a choice that is both safe and cost-effective.

Pole dancing poles come in many varieties, and choosing the right one for you is a matter of working out exactly what your needs are.
