My wife teaches pole dancing for fitness. I have installed and setup various poles. The stage poles, with a base, the friction poles, with a mount in the ceiling, work well, as well as permenant mounted poles. The only draw back to the stage pole is that you lose the 1-2' that goes into the stage. Stay away from the spinning poles, until you get good, unless you really do not want to learn how to do it right.

In my opinion you need to order a good pole. If you want it to be removable, then order from a legitmate site like 'lil mynx or platinum stages, there are others. These use a spring to hold it into the ceiling and against the floor. I weigh over 200 #'s and they can take me spinning around it. If you want it to remain permanent in the building a decent pole with a couple of floor flanges, screwed into a ceiling joist and the floor will work well.

My wife popped in a said that if, you want to get serious with it, order a pole that does everything (i.e. spins) but locks so you can learn how do it without the spinning. Then after you get good at the inverts, unlock it and allows you to spin. Be aware that the spinning poles take quite awhile to get used to, as you need to learn how to control the spin.
