I use a regular pole at home and a stage pole at my summer home. Yes, the stage pole is a pain-in-the-ass to set up and there's not much room for floor work. However, my husband and I are moving out...more

I'm actually about to make a new thread about it - I still can't use my chrome pole. It's dangerous because I feel myself sliding down but I was having much better luck on the brass poles at class...more
