    Student Chronicles: Record Yourself! Seriously.

    Story time: When I first started with pole dancing, I was afraid I wasn’t progressing fast enough. There were moments it felt like it would take me forever to climb the pole, to spin without getting dizzy, to move up a level, to nail that new trick that everyone else was already getting…don’t get me started on inverting. I’d get so caught up in “leveling up” and chasing the next rank that I forgot about the intention behind it all. I would leave a class feeling defeated if I didn’t meet my own expectations, instead of enjoying the journey of learning and moving my body. Flash forward to today, nearly 3 years later, and I can ....

    Winter Tips for Training in Cold Weather

    Winter is coming…and with it, dry skin, tight muscles, and sometimes even weaker grip. It can feel hard to get out of the house and show up for practice in the darker, colder months, but we want to make sure training is your happy place! So to help combat the winter blues, here are a few tips and tricks to get through winter without sacrificing the quality of your practice. ❌ Do NOT Skip Warm Up! This is important any time of the year, but ESPECIALLY in cold weather. Frigid temps contract muscles and cool us down faster, so a quality warm up is essential to preventing injury and loosening up your muscles for proper engagement. 🧣 Warm Up In Layers ....

    Why Do We Recommend a Tuition-Based Series Over Class Packs?

    When a new student joins our studio for pole dancing or aerial arts, we discuss our options for enrolling in classes. We understand that trialing a new studio and a new art form is an important part of beginning your journey! That’s why instead of a typical class pack, we recommend what we like to call an Introductory Workshop, which is designed just for new students who are looking to get started. This workshop helps students get familiar with their apparatus, introduces beginner moves, and allows instructors to then place students in the appropriate level. We offer this workshop before a class series because first-time students can feel more comfortable by not ....

    Student Chronicles: Choreographing for Showcase

    By Victoria Giansante October 17–19, Luna Aerial held our annual fall showcase. The theme? Alice in Wonderland! This was my first showcase with the studio (and my first pole dance showcase ever). To ease into the performance space, I wanted to be a part of a group, alongside my sister-in-law and pole dance bestie. So we decided to choreograph a pole dance routine with a group of four . Because we like to keep things nice and simple, right? Putting together any routine comes with a set of challenges, especially if it’s your first time choreographing. Add in the challenge of getting 4 semi-new dancers on the same page, aligning schedules, and making sure ....

    Building Pole Dance Choreo? Don’t Forget These Transitions!

    So you’ve got a showcase or competition coming up, and you’re putting together a routine… It’s important to remember that building a piece of choreography is not just about nailing fancy tricks and filling up space—it’s about moving with intention and fluidity. And the key to a successful flow, you ask? Never stop moving. Continuous movement can often feel difficult when you’re executing trick after trick—it’s exhausting, it’s strenuous, and while impressive, it isn’t the core of your choreography. Don’t forget about these basic (but beautiful) movements to use as transitions and bases ....

    Comparison Is the Thief of Joy

    One thing that saddens us more than people not ever starting their pole dance or aerial arts journey, is people giving up because they’re not progressing as fast as others. In every class and at every studio, there are students from a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, skills, and more. While that’s one of the things that makes this community so wonderfully diverse and inclusive, it’s also what often causes discouragement among beginners or those not progressing as quickly as they’d hoped. Here’s an honest truth: social media has made it impossible for people to focus on their own progress. Let us tell you why. You’ll see ....

    Back to Basics: The Importance of Mastering Foundational Moves

    When you’re first starting your pole dancing or aerial arts journey, it’s easy to see what’s possible in higher levels and rush through your beginner series to “challenge yourself.” We understand—watching experienced aerialists and pole dancers perform mesmerizing routines is inspiring and motivating! But the truth is, you simply can’t get to that level without mastering the foundations. While some people may come into these disciplines with an athletic background or significant natural strength, it’s vital to spend time truly understanding your apparatus and how to interact with it before moving on to more advanced ....

    No One Style Fits All: Different Types of Pole Dancing

    One thing students learn quickly when taking their first pole dance series is that one style doesn’t fit all! The beauty of pole dancing is the ability to move in a way that best represents you and your choice of self-expression. And there are many ways to find your unique style on the pole! Here are the three most common types of pole dancing. This list is not exhaustive, and these styles contain many sub-styles that continue to define a dancer’s artistry in more detail. Lyrical or Artistic Pole This style is often categorized by slow and fluid movements that may be reminiscent of ballet or contemporary dance. Movement is often meticulous and ....

Had a twirl-tastic time at Luna Aerial Dance, With Harley’s guidance, we gave pole a chance! A semi-private sesh, just my sister and me, Spinning and laughing, wild and free. Harley was magic - so patient and sweet, Her music had us dancing right off our feet. A routine, some tricks, and memories made, A perfect sister-bonding escapade! Thank you, Harley! ❤️

Luna has become my home away from home! The quality of instruction, the dedication to safety, and the personalized experience truly make this studio stand out from all the rest. Not only are the instructors amazingly talented, caring, and supportive, but fellow students are equally as supportive and the community building that goes on behind these walls is unlike anything else I've experienced. Not to sound dramatic, but my improvement in the studio directly correlates to my day-to-day life. I am stronger, more confident, and pay more attention to details. Thank you so much to Tina and everyone on staff for being such an important part of my life! If you're thinking about coming here, do it!
