From the reviews

This studio has changed my life in such a profound way. During the pandemic, I started taking pole classes for the first time as a way to move my body joyfully and challenge myself with something that I always found so beautiful and captivating.

★★★★★ — Rachel, Oct 2023

I would highly recommend Aero Space. I have been coming here off and on for 3 years. The studios are always clean and well stocked with all the items you need to warm up and stretch (blocks, bands, etc.) As for the instructors, I can not say enough!!

★★★★★ — Robyn, Dec 2018

If you’re even remotely considering the intro class JUST DO IT! It took me 9 months to finally sign up and go and I wish I had just done it when I started considering it. I am a plus size girl who is unbelievably uncoordinated and I fully enjoyed the class.

★★★★★ — Angela, Oct 2024

I’ve been a student at Aerospace for a number of years. They have amazing instructors and I felt welcomed in their spaces even though I was intimidated when I began pole with no dance experience. If you’re interested in learning pole dance I highly recommend you start your journey at this studio.

Your first pole class at The AERO Space - Southeast

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.
