Learn How To Pole Dance Safely
On Your Rotating Dance Pole

It's extra important to learn how to pole dance safely when using a rotating or spinning model.

Rotating poles can definitely be a LOT of fun and your audience will be very impressed...as long as you don't fall off while everything is spinning around!

Here's a video clip demonstrating just how amazing your moves can look when your whole body is rotating at the same time. You can also see how safety is extra important, as the dancer is spinning at a pretty good speed during some of her moves.

Enjoy the video, then be sure to read the rest of this page so you can learn how to pole dance safely while rotating too!

Now that you're all inspired and raring to go, here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure your rotating pole is a safe place to dance:

1. The general rule about not using anything on your hands (creams, oils or lotions) applies doubly when using a rotating pole.

   Remember that lotions reduce your ability to grip and hold.

   When you add the rotation factor your chances of becoming unintentionally detached from your equipment during an airborne move go way up. And that's no way to learn how to pole dance safely!

   In fact, you may want to consider using one of the many pole dancing grip products that are widely available.

2. Once again, I'll remind you that it's important to learn and practice new moves using the stationary option before you graduate to the spinning option.

   All rotator poles come with a locking pin that gives you the option to use it in spinning or stationary mode.

   It's challenging enough to learn how to pole dance, especially when you're going after some of those really fancy tricks, never mind having to cope with the spin factor at the same time. Besides, nausea is a very real concern...especially if you're inverted, spinning, and rotating all at the same time!

3. Of course it goes without saying that you should familiarize yourself with the specific features of your spinning pole before you use it. You'll want to ensure you understand how the mechanism works so that you'll know whether it's in spin or stationary mode when learning new moves.

4. And finally, ALWAYS check the cotter pin or locking device before every use. Make sure you know whether your pole is in spinning or stationary mode before you start to play, as unexpected surprises can be very dangerous.

With just a little common sense your rotating dance pole can provide you with loads of extra fun without compromising your safety. As with most things in life, the more respect you show it, the more it will give you in return.
