    “Can I buy a dance pole on Amazon?”

    Can you buy a dance pole on Amazon? TL;DR: Sure. Should you? Hell no. Buying a pole is a serious investment—and it isn’t like buying equipment for any other hobby. This apparatus literally holds your body weight up to 10 feet in the air, often relying on tension alone. Not to be dramatic, but deciding whether or not to buy a pole on Amazon is equivalent to deciding whether or not you’re okay with the risk of breaking your neck. There’s obviously a level of risk involved with all aerial arts involving apparatuses that involve above-average heights, but there is a way to mitigate those risks and ensure the quality and safety of your ....

    Realistic New Year’s Resolutions for Pole Dancers and Aerialists

    This is a time of year for both reflection and goal setting—taking in how far you’ve come while looking ahead at all the potential for growth that’s waiting for you. Setting goals for the new year isn’t about creating an arbitrary checklist defined by a date on a calendar, but rather a way to kickstart some motivation that might be lacking during the cold, dark winter months. However, it’s important to realize that goal setting is meant to help boost morale and inspire you, not to set unrealistic expectations that will disappoint you in the long run. While you’re looking ahead at what you’d like to accomplish as a pole dancer or ....

    Why Is Failure Necessary for Success in Aerials or Pole Dance?

    Why do we encourage our aerial and pole dance students to fail? TL;DR: Failure is bound to happen, and learning to fail constructively and safely is imperative to seeing real progress on your apparatus. One of the most difficult lessons in aerial arts and pole dance is learning how to fail. Even when we strive for perfection, we must understand that failure is an inevitability, and in order to embrace the lessons—and do so safely—it’s important to understand the value of failing and prepare ourselves for how to handle it. This is something we try to teach early on when students begin their journey with their chosen apparatus. Reaching our ....

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!
