From the reviews

I’ve been taking classes here for 7 years and it is absolutely my favorite place in NYC. I’m mostly a trapeze girl and find it to be the greatest workout while also being a creative outlet with a great community. The teachers are kind and thoughtful but push me to do my best always.

★★★★★ — Hannah, Jan 2025

Honestly I almost didn’t come because of how many bad reviews I saw on Google. But I was traveling through the area and wanted to do a drop in class. After reading the class descriptions and prerequisites, I emailed first to make sure of which class I would be able to take.

★★★★★ — Hannah, Jul 2022

I’m sorry to see the negative reviews. I have been super happy with this establishment for my daughter. She loves her silks classes on Saturdays. I have been treated with nothing but respect from the staff- Ben is great! We look forward to another year with you.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Jul 2022

A close friend and I went for a beginner Lyra class last night that was taught by Kate. The front desk was really nice considering we were very nervous to take the class. We were assured we'd be fine. They have limited space so plenty of individual attention.

Your first pole class at Aerial Arts NYC

Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: most studios keep grip liquid (Dry Hands / iTac) on hand, and knee pads make floorwork comfy — ask at the front desk. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.

Pole is for every body, and it's about strength, artistry, and confidence — not performing for anyone else. If you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
