    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 ....

    Youth Aerial: Building Resilience Through Movement

Here are a few benefits to enrolling in a youth aerial program: Building community The unique sense of community that’s built inside the walls of the studio is irreplaceable.

    “Am I Too Old To Start Pole Dance or Aerial Arts?”

    All bodies. All ages. All the time. That’s how we operate, and that’s the spirit of the pole and aerial community! We hear so often that prospective students shy away from trying their first introductory pole dance or aerial arts series because they’re afraid they’re “too old” to try something new or express themselves in a new way. This is unfortunately a common thought process when pursuing any new passion as an adult. And we’re here to tell you that there is NO age limit to flying with us! "At our studio, we see students begin their pole and aerial journey in their teens, their twenties, and well into their ....

    We Love Being Your Instructors—Here’s What That Means (and What It Doesn’t)

    It’s no secret that the world can be a scary, sometimes unfair place. And the studio can (and should) feel like a safe haven from an otherwise chaotic and unpredictable society. We get it! For a few hours every week, you get to leave the outside world behind and simply focus on moving your body, expressing yourself, and being in the moment. For many, that time in the air feels like freedom. Sometimes it even feels like healing. And in many ways, it is. Pole dancing and aerial arts bring strength, creativity, and connection. They can carry you through hard days and remind you what you’re capable of. We love being a part of that ....

  • Why Luna’s Aerial Program Looks Different—And Why It Works

    Why Luna’s Aerial Program Looks Different—And Why It Works

    When Luna Aerial Dance & Performing Arts first opened, we had already established a serious reputation as a pole dance studio—that was our foundation. From day one, we set a standard: one student, one pole, every class, every time. No doubling, no shortcuts. That has not changed, and it never will Expanding into aerial arts was the logical next step, but the landscape and best practices were very different from pole. There also wasn’t an existing aerial community in Frederick to join. So we had to pave the way. Our space wasn’t designed to be a warehouse filled with dozens of rigs, and trying to copy that format never felt right. If aerial was going to ....

  • "Can I teach myself pole dancing?"

    "Can I teach myself pole dancing?"

    This is a highly debated topic in the pole community, and while everyone may have their own take, we think it’s important to highlight the realities of in-person instruction vs virtual instruction…or no instruction at all. While it is technically possible to teach yourself pole dancing skills at home, there are several reasons why we suggest anyone who is looking to begin their pole journey start in a studio with highly-trained in-person instructors. Let’s break it down. 1. Student safety Studio curriculums are built around student safety, ensuring every student has the background and knowledge needed to confidently attempt new material. When enrolled ....

    “What Do I Wear to My First Pole Dance or Aerial Class?”

    You’re about to head to your first introductory series—congratulations! You’re likely looking through your closet wondering what the heck to wear…and the answer depends on your chosen apparatus (and sometimes skill level). Remember, your outfit represents your artistry just as much as your movement does! So at the core of it all, it’s important to wear something that makes you feel good and allows you to move freely. We encourage you to have fun with it! We want you to be comfortable and confident in your aerial attire, but we also want to make sure you have the mobility, coverage, and even skin exposure needed for your discipline. ....

  • The Hardest Part Is Saying Yes: Getting Started With Pole Dance and Aerial Arts

    The most common reason prospective students don’t start their pole dance or aerial arts journey is because they’re afraid it will be “ too hard .” There’s often this perceived level of intimidation that prevents people from exploring a new passion. A fear of “ not having what it takes ,” or a fear of what other people are going to think. So when someone asks us if what we do is hard, our #1 answer is always this: the hardest part is saying yes and walking through the door. Of course, learning a new skill, joining a new community, and putting yourself out there can be scary at first! You’re not just saying yes to ....

    “Why are pole dance and aerial arts classes so expensive?”

    This is a concern we hear again and again from aspiring aerialists, and it’s a fair question! Let’s talk about the cost of an aerial arts and pole dance program and where your tuition dollars are allocated, because at a quality studio, your investment can—and should—go a long way. There’s an age-old phrase “you get what you pay for,” and while some studios may come with a lower price tag, that is often accompanied by less time on the apparatus, less instructor training, and lower-quality equipment. While we can’t speak for every studio, as the only pole dance and aerial arts studio in Frederick, Maryland, our ....

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!
