Yes, you can put a pole dancing pole on carpet, but there are a few things you need to take into consideration. Carpet is not as stable as a hardwood floor, so you will need to make sure the carpet is firmly glued down or use a heavy duty carpet tape. You also need to take into consideration the type of carpet you have. If it is a shag carpet, it will be more difficult to keep the pole in place. A thinner, lower pile carpet will be easier to work with.
