New to aerial or pole? Or returning after time away?
Our Program Introduction Series offers a flexible way to begin your journey into aerial and pole dance training—without committing to a full program track right away. Not sure which path is right for you? Reach out—we’re here to guide you toward the level and format that best supports your goals and creative growth.
At Luna, attire is part of your artistry. Wear what allows you to move with confidence, freedom, and intention.
Before your first session, please remove all jewelry and watches. This ensures both your safety and the preservation of our apparatuses.
Here’s what we recommend to help you move confidently:
For Aerial Arts:
– A close-fitting top that covers your midsection and underarms (tucked in for seamless movement)
– Leggings or soft, full-length bottoms that cover the backs of your knees for comfort and grip
For the Pole Arts:
– A fitted top that allows access to the underarms
– Shorts that allow contact with the inner thighs for secure engagement on the apparatus
Special attire is not required; just clothing that honors your body’s range and supports safe, expressive exploration.
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 lessons are typically reserved for active members and special cases. We strongly recommend new students start with group classes first.
Why?
Because real growth happens in community. Our classes are focused, supportive, and free of competition. You'll train alongside others who are too busy chasing their own progress to worry about yours—and who will cheer you on at every step.
When you’re ready for one-on-one coaching, we’ll be ready too.
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.
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!
Luna Aerial provides a fun alternative way to exercise. I’ve been a student here for 3 years; I’ve taken classes in trapeze, lyra, fabrics, sling, and pole. They’re all super fun classes and I always leave feeling great. Throughout my time here, I’ve seen that they take safety seriously - something that is incredibly important to me as an overly cautious person. The aerial rigging feels super secure and is inspected regularly, the apparatuses are well maintained, and they have an AED on site. The instructors are patient, kind, and encouraging people who provide a supportive space to students of all ages and skill levels. They challenge students to try new things while ensuring they are equipped with the strength, comprehension, and skills needed to remain safe throughout their aerial/pole journey.
Luna Aerial Dance is an incredible little aerial dance and performing arts studio that is welcoming, versatile, patient, supportive and fun. Whatever your aerial interest, if they have the class here, I would highly recommend it. The instructors are fun, kind, helpful and even make the dreaded conditioning not as bad. They will support your goals and do whatever they can to help you achieve them. Note that many classes are for youth only, so to sign up as an adult, sign up for the adult classes! I love this studio! I just wish they had more adult classes!
