Home polers – How high are your ceilings?
-
8ft and it’s terrible. Every time I do an aerial invert, my feet hit the ceiling. It takes one extra climb to reach the top. Ugh.
-
Mine is 9 ft. I think it's quite alright for my purposes at this point. When I buy a home in the near future, I'd love to have much higher ceilings 🙂
-
Thanks for all the great answers! Ladies with poles 8ft and under I really feel your pain. I am 5'7 so my pole is much too short now. One time I fan kicked the ceilings from the floor, dented my ceiling, chipped my shoe and fell on my butt.
It seems like 9 – 10 ft is the ideal. So far two places with 12 ft ceilings have come up, but being in Canada it would probably be a PITA to get a one piece pole shipped here just to use it in one apartment!

O man, I love the place I'm in for so many reasons, but the ceiling height is not one of them! I think my ceilings are around 7 feet tall and it kinda sucks. Since i recently moved my pole form my bedroom to what used to be my dining room I think I gained an inch in height lol so I will see if that helps at all. I dream of super tall ceilings one day!
-
9 ft. I hope you don’t mind me asking. But do you have to have a 1 piece pole? What if you move again 🙂
-
About 8'4" works fine with me…I am only 4'9" !!! hehe

QueenJewell My understanding is that once you go above 10ft or so a 1 piece pole is better for safety reasons. The place with the 12ft ceilings is a loft with those exposed steel beams, so an xpole wouldn't be suitable there. I love my xpole and would actually go with a place with a lower ceiling to keep it probably! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

My dream is to have a 10-12 foot ceiling space to pole in, so I can get some decent combos in, do aerial inverts and not kick the ceiling all the time! I don't think I can go any higher than that though, I am still a little squeamish about going too high on the pole.
-
TehCammy. That sounds nice! I love lofts. Enjoy your new loft. And your 1 piece pole.

You know you are a pole dancer when you go to a friends house and get ceiling envy lol
-
9' 6". I love it, and will love it even more when I get the ceiling fan down and install the recessed light instead LOL!
-
I used to dance on a really short pole (I'm 5'5" and I could easily touch the ceiling). I hated it at first, but now I am really glad I learned a lot of moves on that pole. I have so much more control over my leg positioning and my moves are a lot "tighter" than they were before. When you only have a little space, it's a great challenge to force yourself to put together combos that only allow small spaces. Also, great for practicing deathlays… 🙂
-
I then moved somewhere with 12ft and my xpole didn't feel secure and bowed in the middle especially on spin mode.
-
We have 8 foot ceilings and I definitely wouldn’t want them any lower. I’m 5’8” and am only able to climb once and don’t get to do many combos. But that being said, 8 ft is a fine height to do some freestyles and utilize your pole for just about anything. You just can’t be super dramatic with the lower heights. You can video yourself at 8 ft. without it looking awkward. But of course the dream height is 10-12 feet. 🙂 Good luck house hunting!

10ft x stage- it’s the perfect height
