Pole dance or pole-dance classes are one of the most popular areas. Dance pylons can also be installed at home - so you can practice new elements or practice on your own.
Where to buy a pylon
A pole for practicing at home is easy to purchase through the online store. Store contacts can be found on specialized sites or in social networks. The pole is delivered by parcel or courier, you only need to install it correctly. In large cities, there are also special showrooms where pylons are sold. You can drive up there on your own. In addition to poles, online stores usually offer additional elements - spare mounts, extension tubes, as well as knee pads and elbow pads, means for connecting to the pylon, mats. If you are just mastering the skill of pole-dance, such additions to the pole will be very useful.
The standard pylon is suitable for ceilings up to 3 meters.
How much is the pylon
The price of a quality pylon ranges from 7,000 to 20,000 rubles. Its cost depends on the configuration and variety. For example, a collapsible pole that can be extended and installed without drilling will cost more than a conventional stationary pole. The cost can be increased by the presence of several modes - rotating and static. The cheaper pylons are made of stainless steel, while the expensive ones have a chrome or titanium coating for better grip. In any case, pylons should be ordered only from trusted manufacturers. Cheap models costing 2000-3000 rubles should alert you. Some people use improvised equipment for training - metal curtain rods or steel pipes for the kitchen bar, but such accessories are not intended for fitness exercises and are potentially dangerous.
When practicing on the pole, you should wear a minimum of clothing to ensure the best fit.
How to choose the right pylon
First of all, pay attention to the diameter of the pole. The thin pylon with a diameter of 38-40 mm is easy to wrap with your hands, which is why it is popular among beginners. However, when performing complex tricks, grabs of the pole with the hips, shoulders and other parts of the body, the thin pole can leave bruises. A pole with a large diameter, over 45 mm, has a large surface of contact with the skin, but is very difficult for spectacular twists. Therefore, it is more optimal to purchase a pylon with an average diameter of 42 mm. If you find it difficult to grip it, buy special grip devices or lacquered mitts.
Pylons are stationary, for the installation of which you will need to drill fasteners, and removable, having a spacer fastening mechanism. A removable pole is a good solution if the area of the apartment is small, you are renting a house, or you just do not want to spoil the polo and the ceiling with holes. Also, pylons are static, dynamic or rotating and versatile, with the ability to switch modes. In principle, a static pole is suitable for most twists and tricks. The dynamic one was created for the show, as the twists on it look much more impressive. If you're doing for yourself, you don't need a spinning pole.
