You should always check this with the organizer and they will usually inform you in advance. Dance poles at competitions usually have a 45mm width. They will usually be floor-to-ceiling height (min 14ft - usually much taller depending on the rigging at the venue) with a total floor area of approximately 12-14 feet for your performance. There may be 2 poles on stage - one which is static and the other which is a spinning pole. Competitors can make use of both the static and spinning pole during their routines.
