eeww…tall ceilings for a studio are the worse. 14ft..you could possibly still do x-poles. I've been to quite a few studios that had really tall ceilings in LA that used multi piece x-poles. Just be careful of the flex, since the taller the pole the more risk of it possibly coming down.
I had 16ft ceilings at one of my studios and I ordered one piece poles from lil mynx..it was much less that platinum stages. The taller the pole the more money you spend. Otherwise, you will spend money on building beams or dancing on stage poles. hmmm…you could get a steelsmith to create a base and ceiling mount for you and get pipes to build your own pole. But the finish can be rough and you will never have a spinning option. Decisions, decisions lol…Hope this helps.

I took a private lesson at Indy Pole Dancers. They have probably 30 ft ceilings. I think it is an old auditorium with balcony seating above. It appears what then did was build approx. 2 foot high stage the lenght of the room and maybe 6 feet wide and drilled holes into the stage and dropped the poles into the stage. I am not sure of any support UNDER the stage, but there is not top support. Not the prettiest, but it works. Check out their site, they have pictures and I'm sure you can see what I mean…….
The poles worked great and the people were awesome!

how about struts like they use in a lot of Pole comps?I think it's a standard type of equipment in the film industry for rigging lighting and stuff? and also can still have spin mode….sorry i have no leads as to companies that provide this in your area whatsoever 🙁

ok I just re read your post I see you are trying to AVOID using the type of rigging I suggested…sorry!no other great ideas from me lol

we are looking at having beams installed in the space we are looking at leasing at 14ft for our poles since the ceilings are 20ft tall.
best thing to do is talk to a contractor.

I do have a contractor and he is talking about these huge beams and is telling me because of the beams the poles need to be 7 ft apart I told him they need to be further apart than that. Is 7 ft ok or should I keep fighting with him. Lol. Thank you for your help

There are 2 studios that I know of that have done interesting things, one is a place that just opened here in Ohio. Not really sure how he had these dropped:
The other is Body Blast in MN and I believe there are pics here of the Minnesota Pole jam that took place (not sure if tehre are others around)

the top one looks like the adapters lil mynx sells for commerical use. I had considered those but hate lil mynx poles so they are out of the running.
Those in floor things are cool looking but haven't a clue where to get time and how much you have to go into the floor with them. I had heard the husband of the girl that runs that studio had possibly designed them.
I've seen a few studio's now that have built up a stage, and that is under consideration for us too.

The top pics are X Poles and I believe that the guy worked with X Pole and his contractor.

Have you looked into permanent poles? When going real high with multiple poles that might be your best bet. Was is Marrkstar?…or Markkstar? not sure of the spelling, that some of the members ordered from and they like them. .

I personally don't want 20+ foot poles I'm going with Poledanzers at 14ft

Thank you so much. Wish I could find out what that thing is in the one picture that is attached to the ceiling and then the poles. Everyone has been a big help. Thank you so much

I don’t want 20ft poles either. I think 14 is enough. I will look at them but first I have to over come my ceiling problem. Thank you.
