From the reviews
Happy parent to a kiddo who was a student here for 5 years. Natta, the director, is an artist and she treats all of her students like artists. They are not just learning circus tricks on equipment. No mistake- they do learn many amazing skills on the aerial equipment that require flexibility, strength, and grace.
My daughter has been taking aerial classes for over 3 years at the Tea Dancers and it has been a great experience. She has grown as a dancer and aerialist. It is amazing all the technical skill, dance movement, art & craft that my daughter has learned.
Natta's studio is a special place. I don't usually write reviews but feel compelled. My daughter has been taking aerial classes with Natta for almost 6 years so I have watched her studio grow. She brings incredible warmth, creativity, and skill to every class every day.
I danced with the Tea Dancers for the past 10 years, while I lived in Berkeley before moving for college. Overall, dancing with the studio was such an amazing experience. Natta, the main dance teacher, harnesses creativity and emotion with such a grand energy that allows for everyone to truly experience the dancing.
Your first pole class at Tea Dancers - Aerial 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.
