Home polers – How high are your ceilings?
-
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
-
9ft
-
10, and 11 1/2ft I have ceiling that are probably 30ft but don’t take advantage of that!! Lol 😳
-
For my 9ft ceiling I had to order a next piece for my xpole even though it said 7-9 feet for the pole I bought. Once you get above 11 or 12ft you have to go to a single piece pole for safety.
-
10-foot pole. I could go to 12 if I put it way up in the highest part of the vaulted ceiling but I wasn’t willing to pay for that length of pole and the vault isn’t centered in the room so it wouldn’t be ideal. The 10-foot height is pretty good for me (I’m 5’7″–I can climb a few times and I think I’ve only hit my heel on the ceiling once. I do wish my pole was more centered in my room (it’s in my bedroom) but it would require moving the furniture even more than I already did and my husband wasn’t thrilled about the amount I moved it already. I do fantasize about a big open loft style home with a really high ceiling.
-
8′ ceiling and I’m 5’8” 1/2, training barefoot. It’s not high but anyway I’ve always found that it works, even though I’m sure I’ve adjusted my pole dancing to it (not doing much drops for example).
But, I’m positive that if I had been the heels-type, then I would have found 8′ too low.
-
Garage is 14 feet and I have a stage pole.
-
I am 5’8 with a ceiling height just over 8′, I also dance mostly barefoot (guess Lina and I have a lot in common there! lol)
Since training on silks and gaining a straight leg inversion, I have more of a lift in my inverts. I’ve kicked my ceiling many times do to this. Aerial inverts take a lot of adjusting. I often find myself sliding down a bit in crucifix and such to get the position without feeling crunched and my caterpillar climb is more of lifting up and sliding back down once kinda thing lol
I would probably put a hole in the ceiling if I wasn’t careful inverting in heels.
I would LOVE higher ceilings!!!
-
@AriFerrari: Yes, and I would also like some more ceiling height 🙂
And if I had wanted to wear heels, I would have gotten problems not only because of low ceilings, but also that I have people living below me and my practises kind of always happen late evenings or even nights. Imagine the noise they would make on a hardwood floor. So that would have forced me to move, change my practising-routines or find myself homeless!
-
I have 9 foot ceilings with a 9-10 SV pole. Very happy with the results. I have pictures of the install on my page.
-
9.5 ft
-
My ceiling is 9’3 and i love it. high enough to get a couple combos up the pole. perfect for me.
-
8’9″. and its connected to the support beam on my faulted ceiling. So I have some more space for a straight edge next to the pole. I would love to have a taller one, but for Hawaii they won’t ship anything over 10″
-
9’9″ and I’m totally spoiled. The studio I go to has 8′ ceilings and I’m aways kicking the ceiling. Oops.
-
oh wow! i just realized i never updated on my ceiling height 😀 i now have a 10ft pole for my 10ft room. i got it like 8 months ago O_O oops. lol. 45mm brass 10ft Platinum Studios pole.
-
I have a space that’s 11 1/2 and 12 feet high ceilings. Just ordered a permanent Mount.for it. I know I have to buy extenstions for my 40 mm. I heard a single long pole is more safe for that high but I wanted to try it with the pole I have now BC I love it. Hope it doesn’t bow too badly and become unsafe. I hope it works out I’m getting nervous =\
-
I have 8 ft upstairs and 9 ft down. Definitely prefer the 9. At my aerial studio, we have closer to 11-12 ft. Love the extra height.
-
I have 8′ ceilings, enough for 1 measly climb. 😐 My next place need higher ceilings & an extra room.
-
12 ft ceilings at the house I’m renting. I’m 5’11” so I like the tall ceilings, otherwise if I put on my 7″ heels I would just stand there and bump my head doing pole climbs lol on 8 ft ceilings. I’m moving back home next month and I believe my ceilings are 10 -11′ I just have to face putting up a ceiling mount since I have vaulted ceilings.
-
I have an 11′ ceiling and anything lower than 10′ would suck, unless you are shorter than 5’5″…. I’m 5’7″ & I LOVE my 6/7/8 inch heels
-
My ceiling is about 11ft high and my xstage is 10 ft high. However, I would put up a pole even if my ceiling was only 7ft high. Not everyone has the option of high ceilings. A short pole is better than no pole and there are still many things you can work on. I love poling and I will make do with whatever space I have. just work with whatever you got.
