Fetish Fantasy Series - Chromed dance pole

A vertical pole in high-strength chromed metal, supplied with mounting hardware and a manual. That is what the manufacturer communicates, and nothing else: no height, no diameter, no rated load, although those are the three figures that determine how a dance pole can be used. The Fetish Fantasy Series Dance Pole is therefore presented here on its confirmed data alone.

What the manufacturer states

• High-strength chromed metal: the material is stated, which remains the firmest piece of information available.
• Mounting hardware supplied: the fixing comes with the pole, without the mounting method being detailed by the manufacturer.
• Instruction manual: it will carry the height, diameter and load figures the manufacturer does not publish.
• Height not disclosed: compatibility with your ceiling therefore cannot be checked before delivery.
• Load not disclosed: no figure allows the use to be anticipated, which calls for great caution at assembly.

How to use it

1. Read the manual before any assembly: it holds the only available height, diameter and load figures.
2. Check the nature of ceiling and floor: a dance pole transmits force at both ends.
3. Test stability by pushing the pole sideways by hand, before putting any weight on it.
4. Start on the floor, keeping contact, and add aerial moves only once the fixing has been proven.
5. Clear the area around the pole completely and lay a mat for the first sessions.

For something closer to furniture than to dance, the black swing mounts on a door or ceiling, and the positioning stool needs no fixing at all. See also choosing an accessory for two and our article on desire.

Care and precautions

Wipe the pole after every session: sweat and cream residue make chrome slippery, and that is the leading cause of falls. Use a dry or barely damp cloth, with no greasy product. Check the tightness of the fixings before every use, top and bottom alike. With no rated load stated anywhere, stick to what the supplied manual states and improvise no aerial move until the fixing has been proven cold. Never leave a mounted pole accessible to children.

Frequently asked questions

How tall is the pole?

The manufacturer's catalogue does not publish it. The supplied manual is the only source available.

What diameter is it?

Not disclosed either. We do not estimate it, although diameter governs the grip.

What load does it take?

No figure is stated. Refer to the manual before any weight-bearing move.

Is the mounting permanent?

Mounting hardware is supplied without the manufacturer specifying the fixing method. See the manual.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Floor work is accessible straight away; aerial moves call for progression and a proven support.

SoPigalle tip: keep the chrome perfectly dry and avoid hand cream before a session. A slippery pole gives no warning: it lets go at the exact moment the weight rests entirely on it.
