What's the differance between...
a pole that simply stays stationary, and the (so called dangerous one) that spins?
Hi, everyone...I'm new and have many questions. I hope I didn't step on anyones toes by opening a similar post to the "where to buy a pole" topic.
I just came back from Las Vegas were a girlfiend of mine explained, that when the club, she worked at was closed, she would often practice on their poles. One was stationary and the other spun around...sound familiar? Anyway do to her experiences, it was a surprise to hear that she called the spinning one, "Dangerous". I personally have yet to try the Spinner, if you will. What would the purpose be in having the two differant kinds? Or should I say bennifit, is it just an optical allusion, or does the dancer have to work extra hard on the Spinner; it would seem to me that the spinning pole could cause lack of controll on the part of the dancer, unless she really knew how to work it. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. This site seems friendly and I look forward to learning from you all. :)
Oh excuse my spelling, it's aweful. Untill I learn the ropes around here, forgive me for tripping (and or poss.) making an ass out of myself, thanX!Always judge a wine by it's lable, a book by it's cover and a man by his generousity! ~Aradia
Re:What's the differance between...
Usually the stationary poles are easier to do pole tricks on...the spinning poles can help newbies just starting out, spin around the pole gracefully...which is a big plus. I've never heard of the spinning pole being called dangerous. I believe that it only spins with a "push"...it doesn't constantly revolve...in the beginning, while you are gaining your strength, the spinning pole can be more challenging because you are learning to balance and control it. But, once you have it down, the spinning function is a good help.
