CRITICAL Tips To Use A Dance Pole On Popcorn
Ceilings

• I think the all-time 1 question I get asked
  regarding the topic of installing portable or
  removable pole dancing pole kits is Is it ok to
  install the dance pole on a popcorn ceiling?
  Most people wonder if, is it safe to install a
  dance pole on popcorn ceilings? Will the pole
  ruin the popcorn texture? And if they are
  renting, they are usually worried that they might
  not get their deposit back if the popcorn texture
  on the ceiling gets damaged.  All valid concerns.

• I personally understand this worry because I once
  lived in an apartment that had popcorn ceilings
  when I first started learning to pole dance at
  home AND when I started teaching, the first
  building I rented to open the pole studio and
  teach pole dancing classes had a popcorn ceiling
  as well!  There is popcorn everywhere!!!!!! Ok,
  so I just had to say that, I had a vision of
  confetti falling from the sky, only it was
  popcorn instead of confetti in that moment ok,
  thats a little weird, back to my popcorn ceiling

So here is the scoop on what to expect when you
use a dance pole in your home (or apartment) on a
popcorn ceiling.

• Yes, you can safely install a portable and
  removable dance pole with a dome on a ceiling
  with popcorn texture, HOWEVER, here are some
  important things you will want to know before you
  decide to go ahead and do it

• 1. There is a good chance that when you install
  and/or uninstall the dance pole that you will
  accidentally knock some of the popcorn texture
  off the ceiling. The more frequently you do this,
  the more texture you will knock off. In my first
  pole studio, I had to remove the dance poles
  every day because I had other instructors
  teaching different fitness classes in the same
  room. The repeated activity caused visible rings
  in the popcorn texture where the domes were
  placed day in and day out. This is easily
  repairable and I will go into that in tip 4.

• 2. If you plan to safely install the pole and
  leave it up, there is a good chance you may not
  even notice there was a pole there when you take
  it down. When I first started learning to pole
  dance, I had popcorn ceilings in my little 2
  bedroom apartment and a VERY picky Christian
  landlord. I did everything I could to hide that
  pole from him for fear of being judged and
  worried he would take my deposit. I had put the
  pole up in my living room and left it there until
  I moved out. When I took the dance pole down, you
  couldnt even tell it was ever there and no
  patching was needed. I did get my deposit back.
  It was a white ceiling.  It all depends on how
  careful you are when you install it.

• 3. Does popcorn affect the safety of the
  pole? Yes and No.  Popcorn ceilings will never be
  as safe as a regular ceiling with not texture
  because it is harder for the rubber to grip onto
  popcorn texture.   Think about it, popcorn is a
  loose material.  I used to worry that the popcorn
  texture wouldnt allow the rubber on the dome to
  grip good enough and that the pole might slip.
  It never did, not even once.  If you have a GOOD
  QUALITY dance pole with good dome rubber and its
  installed correctly, it is very safe to use on a
  popcorn textured ceiling. I have personally only
  used my Pro Quality Affordable No Brand Dance
  pole on popcorn ceilings however, I am certain
  the X Poles would be just fine as well.

• Critical point to know  the popcorn texture can
  reduce the stickiness between the ceilings and
  the rubber on the dome and therefore, it can
  slip.   You will need to make your pole tighter
  than normal on a popcorn ceiling for this
  reason.    Another way you can avoid the dome
  slipping is the add 4 pieces of wood around the
  edges of the dome to help hold it in place.   
  You can also use a dance pole ceiling mount to
  permanently attach the top of the dance pole
  class to the popcorn ceiling via a ceiling
  joist.   Keep in mind that if you use a ceiling
  mount, it WILL flatten the popcorn texture
  underneath the ceiling mount. Round pole dance
  crash mats are also great for safety if you are
  worried.

• 4. PATCHING the popcorn texture damage If you
  accidentally know off too much of the popcorn
  texture, patching is pretty easy. They make spray
  cans, bottles, and dry mixes of popcorn texture
  that you can buy at Home Depot or Lowes for
  about 10 or less. I have used it to repair
  ceilings and it worked like a charm  Instructions
  are in the container and no special tools are
  required in most cases.   The canned popcorn
  texture is white and MOST popcorn ceilings are
  also white.   No painting required, thank
  goodness!

• As I always say, safety is the most important
  part.
• You cant have fun pole dancing if you have fears
  about the safety of your dance pole.  Take the
  time to get a good quality portable pole dancing
  pole for your home and popcorn will be the last
  worry on your mind.  Be sure that you have set up
  your pole dancing workout space in your
  home safely as well and have a ton of fun!!
