Reviews of Aerial Fifty Two Pole Dancing Studio (Dance School)

Lee-Anne van der Merwe

Fantastic and encouraging studio that welcomes and includes everyone! I love that every class I attend is challenging but not impossible. I could not have achieved the growth and progression I have without the amazing instructors here. There is something for everyone, but I suggest trying it all! I highly recommend joining this studio and regret not doing so sooner!

Super fun! Great atmosphere and everyone was so welcoming. Fantastic experience from Day 1, Class 1 and it just keeps getting better

Before it was AF2, it was Brass Vixens, which i did like going to but theres a different air of inclusivity that AF2 has hands down! Not only did I make some life long friendships here once the changes were made, but i felt and instant presence of a welcoming atmosphere, a sisterhood. AF2 truly cars about your progress, your safety, and your well being! I love the instructors, they are NOT arrogant and "feeling themselves" more than actually teaching the class. If you want a multi cultural, safe, welcoming environment that we can't seem to get at other places, go to AF2 trust me you won't regret it. I know that even if I moved away I'd still travel to AF2. I refuse to go anywhere else!

Professional, empowering and supportive staff! Great variety of classes. I always look forward to going to the studio. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a workout that's so fun you forget you're exercising. The staff always remembers my name and skill level. Wonderful community atmosphere!

Kylie Thompson

Such a beautiful and clean studio! Very open space, tucked away just off the 401. Super convenient to get to after work. The instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging. Clientele is warm and welcoming, especially if they know you’re brand new to the studio. They’ll make you feel like part of the group right away. A really nice boutique studio in Mississauga.

I'm pretty insecure about my body, and pole dancing is way out of my comfort zone, but man, the people & instructors really know how to make you feel comfortable and welcomed, no matter how awkward you might be. The positive atmosphere encouraged me to try things I would never otherwise try and I've felt myself getting stronger every class, without even realizing it because I was having so much fun. I started for fitness, stayed for fun and felt my confidence rising with every new trick I was able to accomplish. Thank you so much, Natasha & Vanessa, for helping me realize that I'm allowed to dance and feel good about myself, even though I'm not "skinny". Your positivity was infectious and I can't wait to watch more people learn these awesome skills in a non-judgemental and fun environment. Keep up the great work!!! ❤️

Libby Ives

A wonderful studio with friendly, caring, and welcoming staff, a positive and loving environment with a great sense of community. If you're looking to dip your toes into the world of pole dance, this is a great place to start your journey!

Christina Baker

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STUDIO AND ITS BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! Their infectious laughs are a perfect way to end off my day! If you've ever wanted to try pole or hoop this is the place! The instructors offer challenging variations and the classes are always welcoming.

Wonderful owner with highly trained staff.

Tina Phan

The best thing that I could've ever done for myself! I came here on a Groupon, and I just couldn't get enough. The engery, the support, the community, the instructors! Natasha's classes are fun and challenging. Vanessa's classes are seductively sultry. Valerie's classes will leave me sore for days. And Kelly's classes are detailed and fun. The instructors offer different challenges to all levels of fitness and keep you on your toes. The staff here is always ready to help and answer any questions, and the other girls and guys coming here are always welcoming. There is a variety of classes from pole, aerial hoop, silks, and fitness (flexibility training and bootscamps). Coming here has helped me grow a confidence I didnt know I had and nurtured a love for myself that I had long forgotten. The best part of my day is coming here! Also if you haven't been to a showcase, you are heavily missing out, I have yet to miss one because the fear of missing out is REAL!

Stefany Nieto

Loved my experience here! The instructors are really caring and kind to all levels of clients. While the class was a challenge, they encouraged you to take it at a pace you're comfortable with which really helped with my anixety about taking the class in the first place. If you haven't gone or are on the fence, 100% you should go.

Aerial Fifty Two offers a variety of classes, so there is always something for everyone. The instructors/staff are amazing and are more than willing to help you out. They even made themselves available online via zoom while we quarantined. This studio is truly a family based community. Everyone and all are welcome, absolutely no judgements and the vibe is always positive. I definitely recommend!

eryn perrow

Aerial Fifty Two is an amazing studio, all of the women here are extremely supportive and create such a positive environment. The instructors are incredibly talented and encouraging. I love this studio and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in pole fitness!

Anisa McCoy

Aerial Fifty Two is one of my favourite places. I love going to all the classes. I’ve seen so much progress in my strength and flexibility since starting my pole and lyra journey 6 months ago. All the dance captains and students make you feel welcomed and we’re always cheering for one another. It’s just a fun and positive place to be and I highly recommend everyone find out for themselves just how awesome Aerial Fifty Two is!

Sarah Katherine

Super welcoming, the instructors hype you up so much even if you're nervous and dont know where to begin! Everyone here comes in all shapes and sizes, and the diverse classes they offer is something you wont get anywhere else! Whatever your goals are when you first come in, you leave with so much more, you enter into this great sisterhood of amazing woman (and men, cause guys can tottaly kill it on a pole too)! Just good vibes all around

Anisha N

The team at A52 is downright fantastic. Dedicated staff & leadership make this place a safe, welcoming and fun environment for everyone that comes through the doors.

TJ Driediger

Fantastic instructors, very clean studio, and the best showcases in the GTA

Kaitlyn

I started my pole journey 8 months ago with Aerial 52. What I love about this studio are the amazing instructors. They make you feel welcomed once you step into the studio and they also have different teaching styles which both are great! Honestly, I love the A52 girls and I'm so thankful for them <3

Tory Auld

They always put on an amazing showcase and it's a lot of fun!

Alissa O

I started coming here a year ago after a friend recommended it. I was nervous about starting a new dance class. The staff at Aerial 52 made me feel completely welcome. The instructors are great and always willing to help me perfect the moves. They definitely know what they’re doing and I feel so confident after one year of training with them!! The classes are small so I never felt intimidated. I’ve also come out with a few new great friends from joining this studio. The sense of community here is very warm and welcoming. Aerial 52 is a fantastic place to start if you are interested in trying pole fitness and I definitely recommend them!

ScientificLions

I'm new to this scene but when I checked it out with my friend she loved it and everyone was so kind and positive. I don't have much to compare too but from what I saw it was extremely clean and professional.

Trey Walsh

Amazing, Amazing atmosphere and tons of fun. Three of my friends and sister went and all of them said they loved it! Super professional and welcoming! Would highly recommend joining or trying out the studio!

Guillaume Racine

I went to the studios’ annual shows to support my girlfriend. A great experience and overall very impressed by the talent from the instructors and dancers!

Chiara Hourani

Aerial Fifty Two is one of the most welcoming and warm environments. The classes are amazing and I've recommended it to many friends who all have also fallen in love. The instructors are all extremely skilled and I really get an amazing workout. If you're on the fence or unsure about going to a class, I'm here to say DO IT! You will not regret it!

Siri Bernabe

I love coming to Aerial Fifty Two! the instructors are amazing and I learned so much from them, they make sure you are comfortable and help you every step of the way. They offer many type of classes not only limited to pole but also flexibility class, chair dance, lyra and silks. met some really great people and everyone is really supportive!

vienna rocha

Its such a good place to work out with no judgement. The ladies there are all amazing and extremely friendly.

Brigitte Hadley

I love this studio! I was very nervous in the beginning, but the instructors and students are so nice and welcoming. As a retired gymnast, I learnt the basics very quickly and the instructors recognized that and challenged me whenever they could! I have progressed very quickly and improved my strength with their direction and expertise. My favorite classes to take are lyrical, low flow, inversions and hammock silks! I have not tried their aerial hoop yet, but it looks like so much fun!

L J

We celebrated a friend’s birthday here and it was so much fun!! The people here are very accommodating and do their best to make sure everyone is having fun.

Manreet GILL

I have had a great experience here! The instructors are very nice and encouraging and the space is great as well! I encourage anyone who is interested to take some classes at Aerial Fifty-Two and open themselves out to new experiences.

Charlotte Zhen

Aerial Fifty Two is my favorite place to be - every class is an amazing experience. The instructors are very attentive and really good at what they do. The studio has built a strong community that is supportive and inclusive. Would highly recommend trying one of their classes!

Meppe Gosha

On Groupon every single day. Dancers aren’t too experienced, trained enough on the same things.

Meaghan Ritola

I love taking classes at Aerial Fifty Two - the instructors are awesome and everyone is so supportive! It's great to find instructors that really care about their students and that are so attentive when it comes to any limitations or injuries. The classes here are so fun and a great challenge. The amount of strength you build up is amazing - it's been awesome growing as a student! I would definitely recommend giving Aerial Fifty Two a try!

Rachel Angel

Aerial Fifty Two has come to be my home away from home. I have always wanted to pole dance, so I was encouraged to put action to my words! I initially came across this studio on groupon and purchased a 5 class pass (the aesthetics drew me in). Over a year later and two showcase performances I have grown love for the aerial army girls (and guys!) as well as the dance captains. Natasha and Vanessa have welcomed me with open arms and I am happy to have both a professional relationship and friendship with them. They really put their heart, soul, time and resources into making the studio diverse, inclusive and flexible through different membership options, class levels, and types of classes provided including pole, silks, stretch, lyra, chair, and more! I can attest that by coming here your confidence, strength, flexibility, coordination and social circle will grow. Don't overlook this hidden gem in the GTA!

Teresa Bragado

Great vibe - Clean studio - Excellent instructors - Variety of Classes! Lots of parking! I have been taking classes here and I absolutely love it! Every instructor is encouraging and supportive no matter what level you are and the classes are challenging but very fun! The owners Vanessa and Natasha created a place where one can come to get fit and learn to be body positive. It is both a space for personal development and growth, and a safe and welcoming environment to make new friends and never feel like you have to be ashamed or embarrassed. The booking system is easy and you are in complete control of your schedule. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to learn in a comfortable and inclusive environment!

Tory Hugh

My girlfriend loves this studio and going here has given her so much confidence. Would recommend

J Li

Amazing studio with the best instructors! I felt comfortable and since day 1. The instructors do an amazing job teaching us the fundamentals and making class fun and challenging. Would definitely recommend!

Anne S

Unprofessional and they have a mean girls mentality at this studio. I felt very uncomfortable at this studio as they like to be fake nice and then talk bad about you once you walk out the door. And they do this to other clients which then creates a divide amongst group levels. This place is known for gossiping and they treat it like a clubhouse not a place to train. They also have spoken poorly about other clients on their social media page which is very disrespectful. If it is a place of business you should not be ranting about clients on a business page. Vanessa’s hostile attitude and bad character made me not come back here. Also they promote future events that never happen such as virtual showcases, troupe videos, cake kit contests.etc so they take your money and don’t tell you what happened with it all as it ends up disappearing on their app. I have heard them talk poorly about a client’s hygiene and it was very rude of them to make fun and laugh. Even their new instructor Tiana rudely came in during a beginner class to yell out that people have to start wearing deodorant because someone stinks of B.O. That is not the proper way to approach that situation and is also embarrassing for the individual to be singled out. They also don't like it if you train at other studios to progress and they encourage people not to tag other studios/instructors. So they want you to give credit but not to other studios it seems. The staff mainly isn’t CPR / first aid certified as well which is concerning. When someone gets injured it’s always “oh at least there’s no blood” rather than attending to the person’s serious injuries. For your mental and physical health be careful with this studio!

Sarah Zhao

Love coming here and learning everything from handstands, erotic moves and advanced tricks. Everyone is super friendly and supportive!

Hayley Newman-Petryshen

Had a wonderful experience here! They put on a great showcase and I also know tons of friends who have had positive and empowering experiences here.

Jeremy Bonifacio

The studio offers a wide variety of classes from working on your pole moves, flexibility, handstands or cutesy or sexy dance vibes. etc. All the instructors are amazing, talented and very helpful! Aerial Fifty Two has become my second home. I highly recommend!

Taninder Atwal

The instructors are the kindest and most open-minded people that you will ever meet. You will never feel judged. They are so positive and passionate about what they do which makes them great instructors and also helps to creates a fun, uplifting environment. They care a lot about their clients and want to see everyone excel. Honestly, I cannot say enough great things about them!!

Gail & Suzan

Extraordinary showcases and a positive space for everyone. Never met such an uplifting and supportive group of people. Will continue to support this incredible business.

Khadijat Animashaun

I have been going to this studio for almost two years now and I really love how wonderful the staff is. The ladies that work here are super easy to talk to and always open to helping me master any tricks! :)

Amazing staff and very friendly. Have been to a few of their performance that some of my friends were in. It was a fun experience and great energy.

Andrea D'Silva

Love this place! Natasha and Vanessa do an amazing job cultivating a warm , welcoming, and hype environment!

Tiana Newman-Petryshen

I have been dancing and working out at this studio going on two years now. I have nothing but good things to say about this establishment and the people within. Before the studio I lacked confidence and if I'm being honest any sort of talent or strength. Never did the instructors let me feel defeated, they constantly lift you up metaphorically and some times literally when you need assistance. The owners are two very strong women with only kindness in their hearts, they only want the best for all their students and they ensure that everyone leaves with a smile on their face. This is a safe space for all. Regardless of your existing fitness level there will always be classes for you. My family and friends have attended their showcases and continue to reminisce about the incredibly positive experience they've had months later. The studio has a strongest sense of community with people of all different sizes, ages, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender. This is probably the kindest group of people you will ever meet. If you have any reservations about joining a class for any reason I strongly urge you to give it a try as my friend was the first one to convince me to join with her and I did nothing but drag my feet since I thought with my lack of dancing abilities and little to no upper body strength I would simply look silly but not even two years later I have performed in two show cases and even did a solo a few months back, recently I even moved up to the highest level of difficulty class that they hold and I am so proud of myself. I am so thankful for my friend who first took me here and for the instructors and owners who've given me this incredible talent but also a space where I feel for once that I belong.

nora browne

AMAZING!!! Something for everyone. People are extraordinarily friendly and kind. Can't wait for things to re-open to see everyone again but for now I'm just enjoying the online classes.

Maxine Veneracion

I learned so much from this studio! The community here is amazing, everyone's welcoming, super supportive and friendly! I love coming here to learn new tricks, dances, and work on my flexibility. I highly recommend Aerial Fifty Two!

James Alderton

My girlfriend did a showcase here, super friendly staff and a very nice studio! Well organized! Positive environment, would totally go again!

J Rose

My girlfriend started taking these classes and shes never felt more confident before. I would recommend Aerial 52 to anyone that wants a positive change in their life.

Alexa B

I’m shy but this place makes me feel out there and I loved it

Shannon Dillon

The instructors are incredible, the vibe is great, the community is accepting and encouraging, I can't say enough good things.

Joanna Sinn

If I could, I would give unlimited stars to Aerial Fifty Two! They have it all... friendly & knowledgeable instructors, open studio space, variety & pace of classes, easy to use scheduling system, and a caring & inclusive community! Before joining, I didn't know pole was such a whole body exercise, but I love how I'm working on strength, flexibility, and CONFIDENCE all at once. The instructors are so good they make you forget you're feeling awkward, and before you know it, you're actually getting the *hang* of it and showing off your videos to friends & family ;) If you're any bit interested, give them a try!!
