The poles are generally between 3 and in height and approximately 2 to in diameter.  Some poles have a slightly larger pole that rotates around the static central pole using ball bearings.  This rotating pole allows a performer to spin on the vertical axis, giving a performer the ability to incorporate rate of spin into what would otherwise be static moves.  Bringing the body closer into the pole causes the performer to spin faster.  A few Chinese pole tricks have been incorporated with pole dancing techniques.
