Another difficult aspect of setting up a dance pole space at home is ensuring your safety and keeping the apartment in good shape. Most dance poles for home use are tension based and so the security of your dance pole is determined by how well the tension is between the pole, the ceiling, and the floor. The tension exerted by the dance pole on the ceiling and the floor is essentially what keeps it in place along with quality soft rubber on the dome and base of the pole (not all poles have this). The biggest fear is that the tension will crack the ceiling and it can – IF – you don’t follow the installation instructions correctly and install it where there is NO ceiling joist. This is the primary reason this happens. Sheets of drywall and flimsy roof boards are not meant to handle the pressure of these good quality poles made of steel. www.PoleFitnessDancing.com
