These Poles Are NOT Recommended

Below you'll find links to reviews of the dance poles Your Pole Pal does NOT recommend. These are included because a review doesn't necessarily mean a recommendation. Or at least, it shouldn't. Simply put, if a particular pole or company fails to impress, Your Pole Pal won't recommend it.
