Pole dance fitness is one of the hottest fitness crazes. It is known for its unique ability to help the dancer build core and upper body muscles while experiencing self-expression through a variety of passion-filled movements. Pole fitness combines dancing and acrobatics, through which dancers experience improved balance, coordination, and a boost in self-confidence. To set up a space for pole dance fitness in a home or studio setting, a good-quality dancing pole and an adequate pole dance floor are essential.

Poles typically have a thick rubber mount base that protects the floor from scratches or divots, but the pole will put some downward pressure on the floor. So, it is imperative that a pole dance floor that is durable and designed to withstand heavy use and abuse is selected. The floor should also be able to provide some level of protection should a fall occur, and it should have a smooth surface so the dancer’s feet can easily rotate.

Greatmats has a number of dance floor options that would be suitable for a pole dance fitness floor application, with numerous sizes, styles, and material selections available.
