New to aerial or pole? Or returning after time away?
Our Program Introduction Series is the first step into Luna’s structured curriculum, designed to place each student into the level that best supports their artistic growth.
At Luna, attire supports both safe training and apparatus care. Please arrive prepared to meet the requirements below.
Before your first session: remove ALL jewelry and watches. (No rings, long necklaces, bracelets, anklets, or dangling earrings.)
Midsection fully covered at all times (no exposed stomach, ribs, or lower back) with secure attire that stays in place through inversions, wraps, and transitions.
Acceptable options: leotard/unitard, or a fitted top that can be securely tucked in and will not come untucked, or a fitted top over a secure base layer.
Leg coverage required (leggings or fitted capris that cover the backs of the knees).
Fitted top that allows access to the underarms.
Shorts that allow inner-thigh contact for secure engagement on the apparatus.
Here’s how to prepare for a focused and rewarding session at Luna Aerial.
First, step into the studio with intention.
To support your experience, we recommend bringing:
A refillable water bottle – Still or sparkling, hydration is key. Filtered water is always available.
A journal or notebook – To capture choreography, technique notes, or personal insights as you evolve.
A phone or recording device – Many students document their sessions for artistic reference or reflection.
A nourishing snack – Especially if you're arriving straight from work or need fuel post-class.
For pole artists – A clean cloth to prepare your apparatus (premium cloths available in-studio).
Complimentary coffee is available in the lounge before or after class; consider it part of your ritual.
Whether you’re arriving for your first session or your fiftieth, bring presence, curiosity, and a willingness to create something unforgettable.
Private coaching is available on a limited basis and typically reserved for enrolled students working within our leveled curriculum. We strongly recommend beginning with group sessions, where new students can build foundational skills and develop artistry within a supportive, curriculum-based environment.
We host studio showcases, community performances, and participate in national adjudicated events with organizations like Pole Sport Organization (PSO) and Aerial Star. These opportunities are open to students who wish to refine their craft, deepen their presence, and share their work on stage.
Youth students are eligible to perform beginning at Level 2, once they’ve built the technical foundation and expressive control needed to shine safely and confidently.
Adult students may choose to perform or compete at any level once they feel artistically ready and supported. From intimate showcases to national stages, we provide clear preparation pathways including choreography, coaching, and class series designed for performance readiness.
At Luna, the stage isn’t about proving yourself — it’s an extension of your practice. Whether you're stepping into the spotlight for the first time or returning with new depth, performance and competition are optional, powerful ways to celebrate your evolution.
I've been taking pole class for almost a year. The staff create an uplifting and motivating environment at the studio. Each instructor I have taken class with has been extremely knowledgeable, helpful, hands on, and emphasize proper technique and safety. I have grown in confidence and strength and absolutely LOVE going to class!!
We love Luna Aerial! Our 9 year old has been doing silks for over a year and is over-the-moon excited for every class. We have taken classes with multiple teachers and they are all kind, experienced and welcoming. They care about each member individually. While a few different apparatuses are in the same room, if classes are running simultaneously they are done so respectfully.
I’ve been thrilled with the exceptional service and instruction provided by the owner and staff at Luna Aerial over the past 2 years. Their expertise, patience, and kindness have made a significant impact on my daughter's love for fabrics and Lyra. The teachers are incredibly welcoming and supportive. The studio's warm and nurturing environment has helped my daughter grow in confidence, and I couldn't be more grateful! I am impressed by their commitment to nurturing young talent and fostering a supportive community. It’s truly become like a second family to us. Highly recommended!
