Pole dancing is a great way to release stress, lose weight and have fun! Pole dancing connects women with their natural femininity by helping them feel sexy from within while simultaneously keeping themselves in shape!

Is A Home Pole Dancing Class Right For You?
Learning anything at home requires a lot of discipline and pole dancing is no exception.
If you join a program such as this one: Pole Fitness Dancing you will have all the videos and lessons at your fingertips, but it is down to you to be proactive and get up every day and practice!
Holding Yourself Accountable
I would recommend that you find an accountability partner for your home pole dancing class. This could be a friend or family member with who you can do the lessons and journal your progress. Each time you nail a new move you write it down, you encourage each other and you plan your next achievement.
Staying On Track
As I mentioned already, holding yourself accountable is important to get the results you want. Keeping on track by journalling your progress and goals is a great way to stick with something.
Ever heard the phrase, ‘once you see results it becomes an addiction’? Well that couldn’t be truer in the world of pole. As once you hit that first Fireman Spin that has you feeling like a badass; all you want to do is spin!
Knowing Your Limits
If you have read all of the above and err on the side of caution, that is fine. A lot of people prefer going to physical pole fitness classes as they get to vibe off of the other ladies and make a whole social thing out of it.
If you know that you do better in a social environment with others on their journey and also want to make pole dance friends, I highly recommend you find a local class or at the very least a virtual Zoom class. A virtual Zoom class will still allow you to socialize, meet new people, and vibe – just from the comfort of your home!
All you need is your trusty pole.
Ensuring You Have Enough Room

Making sure you have enough room in your house for your dance pole is probably the first thing you should do before buying one. Although there are many different types of dance poles, most of them require space in order to be installed and used correctly and safely.
As a general rule, your pole should not be placed next to a wall or other structures that could possibly be hit during practicing. However, this distance increases when you are dealing with free standing models (those that do not attach to the ceiling).
Before anything else, measure everything and take into consideration other objects in case you will need to move them into another room as well.
Buying A Dance Pole For Home

Buying a dance pole for home can be difficult with the number of poles on the market these days. But all poles are not created equally! You will want to go with a reliable pole that will last many years with little care, and one that fits your home perfectly.
You typically have three options when it comes to choosing a home pole:
- You can choose a portable pole which you can put up and take down with ease if and when you need it.
- A studio professional pole to be fixed with a ceiling mount (this can still be taken down when not in use, however, the fixed mount is a permanent fixture)
- A standalone pole. Though less popular and sometimes more expensive, standalone poles offer great flexibility as you can use them in any room and do not need to worry if you have a vaulted ceiling or a weak ceiling you’re worried about damaging.
There are also different diameter poles available. The standard is 45mm but you can also go for a 40mm or 50mm based on your preference and grip. Size does matter, we generally recommend being safe and going with the industry standard of 45mm.
