I’m looking at
Lil Mynx http://www.lilmynx.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=1_23&products_id=70
X-Pole http://xpoleus.com/shop_XS_poles.php#buy_cr
Kendra’s http://xpoleus.com/shop_KW_poles.php

I rather have it 2" because I am 5"9 and I know the smaller size (Kendra) is for more petite persons. Which one of these is the better choice? If none, can you recommend another?

Thanks :-)
Also, I would prefer one that can easily be taken down and not so permanent. Don’t want it up all day everyday

Platinum Stages has a free standing pole. Go with the larger circumference, especially for a beginner, the larger poles are easier for learning tricks. If you aren’t good at home improvements, have a handyman install it for you to prevent an unfortunate accident.

You may also wish to get some thigh-hi boots to along with your pole. They will give you better grip when doing inverted pole tricks and will prevent bruising that occurs when you first start pole dancing.
