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.

If you want, you can read more about why I review products on this website, and why I'm so darned picky about the companies, products and services I recommend.

Unfortunately, Platinum Stages didn't earn a recommendation, for a variety of reasons. Click here if you'd like to find out why.

The Peekaboo Pole and Electra Pole are two others Your Pole Pal doesn't recommend for serious students. These are not professional quality, and are not intended to handle weight bearing moves such as spins, climbs and inversions.
