From the reviews

You will not find a better dance and aerial instructor. My daughter, son, and I all take lessons from Joyce. We had tried lessons at different places, but nothing worked until we found this studio. Joyce is tough but very loving, which works perfectly for our family.

★★★★★ — V, Aug 2020

My daughter has tried many different sports and activities…but nothing really seemed to keep her interested. I happen to find Joyce Lemos’ studio by chance and after the first class - my daughter was hooked! Here we are, two years later and my daughter is still loving her aerial classes.

★★★★★ — Cassandra, Aug 2023

Joyce Lemos Aerial Arts and Dance Academy I would consider it to be the best aerial studio in the Orlando and Winter Park area hands down. The owner and former international circus artist Joyce Lemos is a great instructor and encourages all of her students to grow as artists in a healthy and positive way.

★★★★★ — Morgan, Nov 2021

Ms Joyce’s studio is my daughter’s favorite place to be! She has been training there for two years and is madly in love with the aerial arts. My favorite thing about how Joyce runs her studio is that safety is her number one priority.

Your first pole class at Joyce Lemos Aerial Arts & Dance Academy

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.
