I really enjoy classes at this studio. I also like that they allow you to purchase class packages (with an instructor) and open pole time to practice moves you’ve learned in class. This is great for people like me who are on a budget.

★★★★★ — Chelsea, Aug 2019

Absolutely love this studio! Out of all the studios on Long Island I feel like they have the most diversity and I’ve frequented all of them numerous times. Never have I seen so many different ethnicities in one room. You will never feel left out here. Regina (the owner) is very professional and welcoming.

Your first pole class at The Aerial Loft

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.
