Reviews of Brass Butterflies (Dance School)

Stacey Willick

One of the best workouts out there! It's one of the most supportive communities you can join for your health. The intro levels for both aerials and pole are designed for everyone of any skill levels and it's amazing to watch physically how you progress over time. I love figuring out what my body can do and reflecting on how far I've come over the past 2 years with brass butterflies. Brass Butterflies has become a second home to me.

I went to this place looking for information regarding their services, and I found out they are 100 per cent accessible! Amazing! The accessible button to open doors work, doors are wide, washrooms are fully accesible, they even have an accessible shower! The area for clases are open and eassy to access. The staff was very polite and answer all our questions and made us feel welcome!

Big beautiful studio, and taking good covid precautions for in studio lessons in my opinion. I admired the engineering used to install all the poles into the space with such a high ceiling.

Andrea Palacios

Highly recommended, such a great place to learn! Staff are friendly and accommodating, who always promote positive thinking and growth.

I have experienced nothing but positivity from the community at this studio! The instructors are all amazing and willing to work around any injuries you may have, and everyone cheers once you nail a move for the first time. Best decision I could have made was joining.

Brass Butterflies is an amazing studio with such an inclusive and supportive community! The curriculum is empowering and the staff & students are there each step of the way to inspire during times of challenge and celebrate in times of success. The well-rounded range of classes enable you to develop your strength, flexibility, technique, as well as choreography. In addition to classes, the studio also offers opportunities to participate in competitions, external workshops, and showcases. This studio has enriched my life incredibly and I would recommend to anyone still hesitant to at least take one of the teaser classes!

Pole dancing was something I had wanted to try out for a while. I saw a beautiful video of a pole dancer on YouTube that showcased her strength and grace. It made me determined to try it out. Almost 2 years ago I just by chance happened to stumble across Brass Butterflies and it was the best thing that could’ve happened! The community here is amazing! There is a wonderful mix of diversity at the studio and throughout all the classes that makes me happy and proud to be a part of it. Everyone is encouraging and kind; we all want each other to get better, become stronger and succeed. The instructors are all so much fun to work with! They push you to get better and build the strength it takes to do some of the moves that they know you’ve been struggling with. They take the time to help each student as much as they can during classes. The instructors also know how to work with any injuries you may have. The staff is so friendly and helpful! If you have any questions at all, no matter whether you think they may be stupid questions, they will take the time to make sure you understand and get answers. It’s a great place to learn new skills, have fun, make new friends, build your strength and work on your flexibility. I was not a flexible person when I started my pole journey almost 2 years ago. Now I am so close to getting my splits with proper form and no injuries! Happening across Brass Butterflies and choosing to go here was the BEST thing that could’ve happened to me! I would HIGHLY recommend Brass Butterflies to anyone wanting to get into the aerial arts! Thank you so much for all the kindness and support!

Amazing environment and atmosphere. Brass Butterflies does an amazing job of creating a supportive and uplifting atmosphere. Where they support all types of people from different fitness background in an encouraging but not intimidating way. I thoroughly enjoy doing aerial silks here and have been doing it here for over a year. It's the first form of exercise that I really enjoy doing and don't think of as a task but as fun. I would highly recommend checking out this studio as it has incredible instructors and great other students, providing a very community centered atmosphere.

Every visit to Brass Butterflies is a positive experience! I came from absolutely no dance or gymnastics background, but the instructors are so supportive and enthusiastic. I've seen leaps and bounds of progress in only a year. The community is very welcoming and I could not imagine a better atmosphere for my personal journey. Thank you, Brass Butterflies!

I've grown in strength and confidence since joining Brass Butterflies a year ago. The studio has a great variety of classes for many different skill levels. The instructors care, and are very encouraging. It's not always been easy, but it's totally worth it.

Sarah Johnston

What an amazing studio! I have been doing classes for a year now, and I've grown in self-confidence, fitness, and just love my classes. The staff and instructors are patient, kind, and create a safe space to learn and make mistakes in. It's the highlight of my week :) Totally recommend this studio.

I am extremely happy that I came across this studio. The community here is very encouraging, positive, and welcoming to everyone who walks in which is a huge accomplishment. Not only are the staff great but the other students are always supportive as well. Pole is such a great work out and I recommend anyone to try it (no dance or gymnastic experience required, really!). It is definitely addicting when you see what your body can do and very tangible progress that you can track throughout your journey. One word of caution: it is an expensive activity. I don't believe this to be specific to this studio, but of the sport more generally, but something to keep in mind. I wish the classes were a bit more affordable so I could be in the studio more often, with these great people!

I've been taking aerial classes for almost 3 years for both hoop and silks and can say that the studio is welcoming and inclusive, AND committed to safety and hygiene, making it a safe environment in all aspects. Also even if you are almost exclusively interested in aerials, I personally recommend trying a pole teaser at least once. There is certainly some stigma around pole but in my experience it was the most body positive environment I've ever been in.

Brass Butterflies is an amazing studio that is full of people (Both Staff and Students) that simply want to see you succeed. Whatever challenges or goals you have set for yourself, there is a combined effort from everyone to help you achieve it. Their combination of Curriculum and Non-Curriculum Classes that they offer have allowed me to not only meet, but surpass my fitness goals while learning talents I had no idea I could obtain. The facility is clean and welcoming as well. I plan on spending many years here as a student and recommend this place to anyone that has ever considered doing Pole or Aerial fitness.

Sandra Litingtun

I absolutely love this place. There's a lot of variety of classes such as pole and aerial classes which I have done both. All the instructors are amazing, and everyone that goes there are all supportive people with positive attitudes. If you want to do pole dancing, aerials with silks and hoops, or just other classes like chair dance, zumba, flexibility classes, then this is a great place to go to!

Beautiful studio with lots of classes!

I have been taking classes at Brass Butterflies (pole dancing) for just over a year and I absolutely love it. I've met so many incredible people here, and the studio itself is like one big community/family. Before I joined Brass Butterflies I had very minimal athletic experience, but thanks to the excellent instructors and safe learning environment I was able to do things I'd never thought possible for me (I went from not being able to do a push up to lifting my body weight over my head in as short as a few months). The attitude in the studio is very relaxed and incredibly supportive. The curriculum taught is fun, safe, and effective, and the studio offers plenty of extras on a regular basis such as: photo shoots, workshops, and showcases/parties/social events. The owner is excellent and is very passionate not only about pole and aerials but about ensuring all of her students are happy. If you have a suggestion, it will not only be listened to but taken to heart. If you've always wanted to try pole or aerials, this is the place to do it. There are studios in my home town but I drive 45 mins to this one because I love the classes, people, and atmosphere so much.

There's always something to look forward to at every class because you get to challenge yourself and you get the best encouragement from your instructors and classmates. The support in this studio is exceptional! Highly recommended! Thanks to the wonderful owner, Heather, her lovely staff and amazing instructors! All love for Brass Butterflies!

Kristine Wellman

I absolutely love Brass Butterflies. The staff is so helpful and encouraging and my fellow students are some of the most wonderful people I have had the privilege to meet. I tell everyone who will listen what a wonderful experience I have had this past year that I have been pole dancing and taking classes at Brass Butterflies. Everyone is welcome here!!!

Brass Butterflies offers a truly unique experience. From the moment you walk in the door the staff is friendly and happy to help. Instructors are fun, realistic and encouraging. It’s not a typical “I hate my life” workout. This is honestly the most encouraging and empowering group of people. It’s not about size or age or sex. It’s about growing stronger and having fun and being around people who make you feel like you can do it. There are classes for everyone from pole to silks and acro that are designed to promote success from one level to the next. What makes Brass Butterflies my happy place? In this environment I have met some of the coolest people, and experienced the most genuine positive vibes I have ever encountered. Brass Butterflies is helping me achieve my goal of one day being a ninja. Thank you to all the staff for a job well done. One of a kind in Waterloo. Cheers.

A friend's birthday party led me to Brass Butterflies 3 years ago and I haven't looked back since. BB is a warm, encouraging, and empowering community of students and instructors. This studio offers unique and fun classes to learn new skills, build strength & increase flexibility!
