One of the dancers in the video,”Secret Moneii” IS a stripper.

The XSport is more prone to falling. Mine fell and the top put a hole in the wall. The corner of the dome on the Xpert will catch the ceiling, so the pole will lean instead of falling. Go with the Xpert.

If you want to take any other type of dance classes, I highly recommend the drop-in classes at Dance411.

Just uploaded a pic of my SSA in my living room.

I will add, that when you get to the point that you are aware of your space and have more control, an X-Stage will be easier to work on. When I get more advanced, I may buy an X-Stage. As a beginner, you could land anywhere when coming out of a move. Taking that into consideration, I felt like falling on the SSA would hurt a lot less than landing on the X-Stage (or the edge of the X-Stage and the floor) since I have a better chance of landing on the pie pieces than the floor.

I just got one a couple of weeks ago. Now I've been an X-Pole girl for a while (but I'm still very much a beginner), but I recently moved into a place with 14 ft. ceilings and had to find another option. I was torn between the X-Stage Lite and the SSA but decided to take a chance on the SSA because it had a larger space to dance on, and was closer to the floor which was made it easier (and safer) to transition between the stage and floor. I was also concerned about the noisiness of the X-Stage, walking on metal plates, and the clicking noises people have reported after a lot of use.
I have mine set up in my living room right now (with the extension). I put mine on top of 4 Gold's Gym Puzzle Mat pieces, to help protect my wood floors and dampen any noise. It was very quick and easy to put together, but the pie pieces can be an issue, especially fitting the last piece. There's a little bit of space in between two of the pieces, and it's not a flawless fit, but it's okay. I don't think it will trip me or catch a heel.
I've only had a chance to play around on it briefly, but I was shocked at how sturdy it was After seeing the vids of people making it lift and tip, I was worried. I'm not a small girl (currently 176 lbs) and I wasn't able to move the base at all, even being aggressive. I'm not sure if the puzzle mats are helping that in any way… Also when walking around the edge, the pie pieces do not flip up, like in that review video…..
Yes the pole does move, but more so at the top, and it will do that because it's freestanding. To me, it doesn't appear to wobble any more than the X-Stage, but I haven't been on one personally.
I do wonder how the pie pieces will hold up. I chose the white, and it looks pretty in my place, but I wonder if they will turn yellow.
I will admit that I think X-Pole is a much better and more professionally run company, and that the X-Stage is better made, but IMO, the SSA is more practical.
