Rotating Dance Pole Information
A rotating dance pole is a special type of spinning pole designed to spin freely in its mount. This setup can make your spins appear to be faster, since both you and the pole are spinning at the same time. Rotating dance poles can also help to show off your fancy poses and tricks, due to the rotation that gives a great view from all angles.

It May Be Right For You If...I consider the rotating option to be an "extra." In other words, it's not something you need to have, nor should you necessarily use one, but it can definitely add a new dimension to your dancing. The biggest benefit of a rotating dance pole is definitely the extra oohs and ahs you'll get from your appreciative audience as you appear to spin effortlessly and display your inversions and other advanced holds in a whole new way. If you perform at events, competitions or trade shows, having the rotating option can add that extra wow factor to your presentation. Because it appears that you're spinning even when you're holding a stationary pose, it's pretty impressive to watch.

Pros & Cons of Rotating PolesBecause this type of pole spins freely in its mounts, you can control the speed, to some degree, by how you move your body on the pole.Throw a fast spin with lots of momentum and you'll appear to be spinning at least twice as fast as you would on a stationary pole. On the other hand, if you climb and invert, you can often "nudge" the pole into a slow, sultry rotation, thereby giving your audience a view of your pose from all angles, which can be very impressive! There are a few downsides to consider though, chief among them being safety. For a pole dancing party I definitely do NOT recommend this type of equipment. In my opinion they are not suitable for beginners and the risk of injury in general is much higher. For the same reason I don't endorse their use in studios, unless you use the type that can be converted from a non-rotating to a rotating pole. For more advanced students they can be fun to work with, but for beginners I feel they're just too dangerous. If you think you'd like to try a spinning pole one day, by all means buy one that has this option (most rotating poles have a locking pin that converts them from stationary to spinning), but first learn your moves with the fixed, non-spinning option. Once you've mastered the moves, you can add the spin factor. If you tend to get dizzy easily, keep in mind that a rotating pole will only make this worse. Many women find they get a bit dizzy when they first start to learn spins of course, but this subsides after a while once you get used to the movements. However, if you think you're more prone to dizziness and vertigo than the average woman, I'd definitely suggest that a rotating dance pole is probably not a good choice for you. A final consideration is the cost. These models are typically more expensive than a basic one piece removable dance pole due to the spinning mechanism. The cost difference isn't huge though, especially when you consider that any quality dance pole represents a sizable investment.
