Polestar one piece dance-poles have no joins so you will not be flexing at the joints or “snagging” yourself on a join as you might if you use other multi-part dance-poles.

The Polestar removable dance-pole is adjusted at floor level, unlike many other poles where the final installation adjustment is made at the top of the pole.

The adjustable foot supplied can add up to 75mm (3 inches) to the lengthy of the dance-pole if required. We cater for a certain amount of inaccuracy when we cut the dance-pole to size. If the dance-pole is too long, it can simply be cut down using a good quality hacksaw.

The weights of the dance-poles are proportionate to their lengths. As a guide a 2.4m (8 feet) dance-pole weighs 8kgs approximately. This is less than half the weight of some multi-part poles on the market.

If you have a plaster-board ceiling you will need to find a ceiling joist, as you would with any dance pole. An electronic joist finder is useful for this purpose. DIY hardware stores, like B&Q, sell them for approximately £10. A spirit level is also handy - but not necessary - for making sure the pole is vertical.

A 400mm (16 inch) long threaded adjuster is available, together with a variety of small extensions that you can screw on to the length-adjuster, when a small amount of additional length is required.
