10 Tips to Set up a Home Pole Dance Space

<p>Dr. Rosy Boa of the Science of Slink podcast shares 10 key considerations for building a home pole space based on a decade of home training, emphasizing that a home setup will differ from a studio. She covers choosing reputable pole brands and safe installation (permanent vs. tension-mounted), proper placement under structural supports, using boards to distribute weight in plaster construction, checking tension with temperature swings, and shaking the pole before use. She discusses flooring choices for different styles, avoiding gaps that can catch toenails, and keeping cleaning tools nearby. Other topics include optional open wall space, storing alcohol/grip and towels, safety gear like mats and self-spotting bands, additional props (chairs, blocks, weights), airflow/humidity/temperature control, lighting options, music setup considerate of neighbors, and filming considerations like corner placement and fisheye lenses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Home Pole Setup Intro</p><p>01:05 Studio Versus Home Reality</p><p>01:55 Pole</p><p>05:43 Flooring</p><p>07:39 Wall Space</p><p>08:28 Storing essentials</p><p>09:20 Safety equipment</p><p>10:30 Props</p><p>11:55 HVAC</p><p>14:00 Lighting</p><p>15:46 Music</p><p>16:34 Filming</p><p>17:48 Recap And Final Thoughts </p><p><br /></p><p>Iris Sparrow lighting tips: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DcRKQnJhoX4/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/p/DcRKQnJhoX4/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Want to work with me?
