I think there is potential for some non lethal zapping if done right (one terminal to the poles other to ground)
Your skin is where most of the body's resistance is, and electrocution / shock can occur at much lower voltages if applied internally/ to a cut.
There's an urban legend about a navy Electrical engineer stopping his heart by trying to measure his internal resistance with a voltmeter- he stabbed one probe into each of his thumbs and the portion of a single volt the meter uses to test resistance going across his heart was enough to cause afib.
Now, with pole dancing, theres some potential, for a sweaty bikini to make contact with both an electrified pole and the interior of the dancer's labia, conducting enough electricity to impart a noticeable shock.
No matter the voltage though, I think the main problem is the body being part of the least resistive, or any, path to ground. Unless the screws holding the bottom of the pole also protruded through the downstairs neighbor's ceiling, and you run the negative wire out your window and into theirs, connecting both ends of the pole to the battery....
