I can’t say enough great things about this pole dance studio! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed into a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment that makes everyone feel at home, no matter where you are in your pole journey.
Nightshade Studio truly feels like my second home! I started my pole journey here almost two years ago, and although I’ve tried several other studios, this one remains my absolute favorite. All the instructors are fantastic, and their unique styles complement each other perfectly.
Aerial Dragons Studios is my happy place. The instructors are encouraging, uplifting and talented. They give the best aerial training and focus on technique, flair and above all safety. The atmosphere is so welcoming and you’ll leave feeling glad you were there.
