The end assembly com- prises: an end part; and a connector configured for connection to a dance pole. A first engagement element (30,68) is connected to the connector; and there is a second engagement element (18,70) engageable with the first engagement element (30,68). A movable element (6,75) is movable between a first position and a second position to move at least one of the first engagement element (30,68) or the second engagement element (18,70) and thereby switch the end part respectively between: a first configuration with the first engagement element (30,68) disengaged from the second engagement element (18,70), with the connector capable of rotation rela- tive to the end part; and a second configuration with the first engagement element (30,68) engaged with the second engagement element (18,70) to restrict the rota- tion relative to the end part.
