Introduction Are you new to the exciting world of pole dancing? Welcome! At VIVE POLE Pole Dance Shop, we know that choosing the right pole is crucial for your training and development. This practical guide is designed especially for you, so you can make informed decisions and ensure that every spin, every move, and every jump looks amazing. Let's make it fun and effective!

How to Buy a Pole Dance Pole Easily and Funly?

Discover Pole Dance Bar Modes: Static vs. Rotary!

  • Static Mode: Perfect for beginners. It's an excellent option that will give you a secure foundation while you gain confidence and strength.
  • Rotating Mode: When you're ready to add a little excitement to your moves, the Spinning Mode is ideal. It allows you to smoothly transition between static and spinning to perform dazzling tricks.

Which Pole Dance Pole is Perfect for You?

Consider the following:

  • Mounting: Pressure-mounted or freestanding bars are ideal for places where you can't permanently fix something.
  • Optional Fixed Anchors: If you want to "fix" your bar for greater safety and grip on the roof, there are two main pieces. In the case of the manufacturer X-POLE, it is called HOME MOUNT. In the case of the manufacturer Lupit Pole, you can order bars with 4 holes in the top plate to fix your plate on the roof, and you will still have the convenience of removing and putting it on easily because they are installed by pressure.
  • There are also anchors for sloping roofs; for X-POLE the system is called BALL MOUNT and for Lupit Pole , it is a plate created exclusively for sloping roofs. For more information, please contact us.

The Million Dollar Question: Can Pole Dance Poles be installed under pressure in false ceilings, plasterboard or similar?

It is not recommended to install pressure-fit pole dancing poles on suspended ceilings, plasterboard , or similar materials. These types of structures typically lack the necessary strength to support the weight and force generated during pole use, which can result in unnecessary risks or damage.

Pressure-mounted pole dance poles are designed to be installed on solid, sturdy surfaces, such as concrete ceilings, beams , or load-bearing walls.

If you're considering a space with a false ceiling or plasterboard, it's best to opt for a freestanding bar / Portable Podium / Stage bars or consult with a professional about safer installation options that suit your space.

Remember, safety is paramount when using pole dancing poles , so always check that the installation is suitable for the type of surface where you plan to use it.

If you have any further questions about pole dancing , pole installation , or any other related topic, please don't hesitate to ask!

What is the maximum recommended height for a home pole dancing pole?

The recommended height is between 2.40 and 3.30 meters, depending on the manufacturer and type of pole dance pole. The basic packages of all the pole dance poles we sell come standard with extensions for heights from approximately 2.35 to approximately 2.80 meters. For heights up to 3.30 meters, please inquire about available extensions. This is the standard height for most pole dancers and is usually suitable for practicing both basic and advanced movements.


For heights of 3.30M and above, you should consider a Professional Pole Dance Pole.

Which mode is better: Static or Rotating?

As a beginner, we recommend starting with Static Mode to strengthen your body and technique. Once you feel confident and comfortable with the basic movements, it's time to turn!

Which Diameter Is Best for You?

  • 40 mm: Perfect for beginners, ideal if you have less grip strength or smaller wrists, and also for children.
  • 45 mm: This diameter is the standard in competitions and studios, recommended for those seeking a greater challenge and strength development. Obviously, it is also recommended for beginners because if you get used to 40mm, even if it works great for your practice, and in the future you want to compete or grow in the world of Pole Dance, you will almost always find the diameter to be 45mm.

Pole Dance Bar Finishes

Find your style!

The finish of your pole dancing pole will affect your grip and overall experience.

Here are some standout options:

  • Chrome: The classic, versatile choice suitable for everyone.
  • Stainless Steel / Stainless Style: Durable and perfect for allergy sufferers. One of the most highly recommended finishes from all manufacturers.
  • Brass: Ideal in warm climates; improves grip, especially in summer heat.
  • Golden Titanium: It increases grip and provides a premium feel and design.
  • Powder Coating: It offers striking colors like Black, White, and Pink, ideal for those who need a better grip, although these finishes tend to wear out more easily over time, depending on the use and care of your Pole Dance Pole, but the grip is incredible.
  • Silicone: For exceptional control; a favorite of many who practice Pole Dance in clothes, professional dancers, and acrobats.

What is our personal recommendation?

For the perfect balance of quality and performance, the X-POLE XPERT PRO and LUPIT POLE G2 Quick Lock 45mm stainless steel poles are your best choice. With their X-LOCK/QUICK LOCK system and ergonomic design, these poles will take you to new heights.
