Types of Dance Poles

When it comes to buying a dance pole to use at home, there are generally 3 main options:

  • A pole that’s held in place by tension and pressure (the most popular option)
  • A pole that’s held in place with a permanent ceiling mount (requires drilling and fixture installation)
  • A freestanding dance pole with a solid base (does not touch the ceiling)

Let’s go into a little bit more detail about these different types of dance poles:

Portable Poles Held In Place By Pressure

This is the best idea for your first dance pole due to their safety and ease of use. This type of portable dance pole is held in place by pressure between the ceiling and the floor. Usually positioned directly beneath a joist (beam), they require no ladders, drills or screws and cause minimal damage.

You can also take it down very easily and move it to a different location without any hassle.

Once it’s been installed correctly, it’s an incredibly safe piece of equipment and perfectly suitable for practicing pole dancing at home.

Most portable dance poles will be suitable for a ceiling height of 7’4″ – 9’4″ out of the box without the need for buying extra pieces.

A Dance Pole With A Permanent Ceiling Mount

If you know you’re going to keep your pole in place for a longer period of time, then getting a ceiling mount is a good idea.

A permanent ceiling mount requires drilling, so it will cause some damage to your ceiling, unlike a pressure-fit pole.

Freestanding Dance Poles

A freestanding pole is a good option if you want to use your pole outdoors. We’ve written an entirely separate guide to freestanding dance poles, and you can read it here!

We have even used pieces of scaffolding cemented into the concrete before, but specialist pole stages are available. These freestanding dance poles use a large and heavy round base and the top of the pole is completely detached.

In our experience, these poles are extremely stable but you can definitely feel the motion of the pole ‘swaying slightly’ – this is perfectly safe.

Options: Width, Material, Static/Spin

Besides these 3 main types of dance poles, you have a lot of other things to think about:

  • Static or spin?
  • Which size? (40mm, 45mm, 50mm, 53mm)
  • Which pole finish? (Chrome, Stainless Steel, Powder-Coated, Brass, etc)

There are a few articles on this site that will help you decide what’s best for you! So, in order to avoid repeating myself, check out these guides (all open in a new tab) if you need more information about different pole types:

  1. Would you still say that the tension poles are good if you’re a BIGGER girl? I saw one that said it was good to 350? 400 lbs? Something above my weight anyway, but I am petrified that I’m going to go flying. It was NOT one of these brands here though. It was Yaheetech Professional Spinning Dancing Pole if that means anything to you. They have it on Amazon.

  2. Hi there, ok so I’m just into my second year poling, Time for a little Christmas treat…so if you could give me your advice on my two choices I would be super grateful!! so I live close to a beach in a sub-tropical climate, sometimes very hot ( mostly hot but can be humid) I ‘m learning on chrome, but use so much grip product and always are blowing or drying my hands… I recently used a friends silicone pole for a dance and I loved it, but I could not slid down the bar as you know…So what im wanting is the best grip ( because I think I have wet hands) able to slid down pole for a cleaner finish to routines, so I came up with stainless steel verse brass. This is were I have read so many comments that brass is best suited to hotter countries but hates humidity, and has a grip to difficult for descends using inner thighs/legs for example? I loved your blogs and found it insightful but can I ask what is your opinion of sliding down on a brass pole verses sliding down on a stainless steel version ? Thanks sooooo much for taking the time to chat with me. Marie

    1. Hi Marie! This depends on where you will be using your pole, if you have high humidity, but use the pole indoors with air conditioning then brass will be good. However I would suggest trying a stainless steel, it will be a lot better than Chrome, which sucks in most climates. If you want to slide your hands smoothly downwards, you may need to learn to loosen and control your grip slightly, but sliding with too much grip product will make the sound of nails on a chalkboard!! I recommend reading this article for more info – https://www.polefitfreedom.com/dance-pole-materials-finishes/

  3. Hey, thanks for this. My room height is about 7ft 2/3 including the carpet. Would it be silly for me to think I could fit an XPole in when it’s secured? Thanks

  4. Hi, hello,
    I am having some trouble shopping around for the newest edition to my collection of innovative ideas for health and fitness. I am seeing alot of good quality material in the web but without having it in front of me I can not seem to get over how much me or the pole itself should weigh to be a strong decision. I am worried I am putting my money into my own ideas. It is hard to find joint connectors and wraps for the outside to hide the screws. There is olny a few options I have found locally that weigh around 200+ lbs and seems satisfactory. Besides that I am unable to add any personal ideas besides how I get 200+ lbs in and out the door! Suggestions?
