From what u described, that is definitely the type i have used at a few different studios. The bolt stays in the ceiling, and u just take the pole up and down. its really easy!!! ur definitely gonna be happy with it! im jealous! i want a 1.75 brass!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

the semi permanent go up to 10 feet i believe.
-
Im really not sure, but its not bolted into the floor,and its one piece….all u have to do is screw it into the large bolt that it comes with (that is attached to your beam.) Ive tried them at quite a few studios, and it was good, and really easy to put up and down.

You only need 2 screws for the ceiling mount.
What about the semi permanent pole?
-
Also, i suggest glueing down the bottom base…sometimes when your floor settles, it wont be as tight, so the bottom plate might rotate. Its bolted in so it wont come out, but it might rotate during a spin or something, so just glue it when u bolt it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

The permanent spinning poles are the best. U made a good choice.
As far as installation, it is farely simple. However, u have to make sure your measurements are exact, even down to 1/8 of an inch. Make it as exact as possible. Make sure your measurment is leveled. There is one bolt that goes thru the bottom plate, and you only need 2 for the top. I have concrete ceilings, so i had to use a different drill, but if you are just going into a wood beam, its really easy. Just drill the screws in.
The poles are permanent. You cant switch them out. Once it is in, its in. If u did need to switch them, u would have to remove the top plate.
Hope that helps!

I wanna go! i love checking out different styles of pole dance.

It freaked me out too. I used to be sooo scared to go on stage poles, especially the SSA after reading so many posts. I really thought the thing was just gonna fall completely over.
As of right now, i havent seen any videos on youtube or heard of anyone completely taking down a stage pole, so in my opinion, they are good. I really like my SSA, and so do my students that have tried it out. I love the EZ connect too. I dont think there is any other portable pole that connects better than this. There is literally no way it can come apart.
My studio is in Pomona, CA if anyone ever wants to come try it out. I saw that Platinum Stages has one set up at their warehouse as well if people want to try it. They are in newport beach.

I knew of Timbers performance because i was there and saw what happened with the stage, so thats why i chose that video. I dont think anyone here will be trying out his moves. He is pretty much the only person that does them, and u could see during the performance, he puts on his own special grip aid to help. I think he is crazy for doing those moves on a stage. I wouldnt try them, and im sure 99% of the women on here wouldnt either.
Stages werent designed for that.
I dont think most people would run at the stage like i did either.
Like i mentioned b4, pole dancing is supposed to be about control and knowing how to use your own body weight…. i was purposely trying to be forceful and aggressive. That is not the goal of most women.
So, i guess if you are a very aggressive dancer, maybe choose permanent poles. You wont have to worry about anything then.

I dont really think stage poles are meant to be used for super aggressive moves, and we shouldnt expect any brand of stage pole to cater to that. There is no ceiling attached to the pole, so of course its going to move, and shift, etc etc. Pole dancing is about control, and learning how to use your body weight.
Unless there is a stage that weighs a gazillion pounds, you probably shouldnt do the craziest of moves. Thats what permanent poles are for. Stage poles arent intended for that.

Yes they all tip, the SSA and XSL. That was the point i was trying to make with the Timber video. With alot of force, the stages will tip.
-
Hey Charley,
Thanks for being unbiased and mentioning that the XSL can tip too. Here is a perfect example of it tipping, and shifting across the floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl_sb-ZTUrc Look around 2:30 mark.
I made a video last night, purposely trying to make my SSA fall. Take a look. The stage does come up, but it didnt shift across the floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWpZqTJr0HM
I dont really know anything about the older versions, but i do know that the new version i have is really stable. Im really happy i did this. Ive read so many posts with people saying it tips over and that its unsafe etc, but now i know for a fact that this thing is super stable, and wont just tip completely over. Plus, most women arent going to be super aggressive on it like i was.
-
HAHAHA i know! I was actually burnt out afterwards. Took alot of energy. The SSA weighs like 120lbs.

copy and paste the link if it doesnt work, or watch on my profile.

At my studio i have all 2inch(50mm) poles, so now when i go to other studios with the skinnier poles, everything is super easy, so i really think studios should always have 2inch poles.
The reason they cant disappear is that they are safer for higher ceiling heights. Over 10 feet, there will be too much flex with the skinnier one. Im not sure how australia does it with the 38mm…does anyone know???
