This is hands down the best studio in the GTA! No studios in Mississauga, Vaughan, or Toronto are at the same level or quality of teaching. North Pole studio is the real deal! ❤ Taya is a great coach, mentor, photographer, pole mom, and role model to all her students! She has a great team of teachers as well! All of them bring their own style and personality to the classes that they teach! Before coming to this hidden gem I was struggling to find a new home. Everyone was very welcoming! You come here to train but also make long-lasting friendships with dancers who are just as committed to the sport as you are. It is so worth the 40 minute commute for me. I have learned more in the past 7 months at North Pole than I have in 2 years of starting my pole journey. Taya challenges her dancers and wants them all to succeed! I feel truly blessed to be a part of her pole family. The studio is filled with strong talented athletes and it's all thanks to her teaching! You can tell she loves what she does; her students improve so much under her love, support, and guidance. Try a class you will not be disappointed! :)

Wonderful studio. I have been going here for 3+ years and this is truly my home. This space is welcoming, teachers are professionals and the energy is so creative. So glad I have North Pole Dance studio in my life.

I love Northpole! I was warmly welcomed from Day 1...by all the teachers and dancers! Beautiful group of people that I truly enjoy spending time with! Taya is an exceptional teacher. Patient, very knowledgeable, and makes each class fun! Great variety of classes and variations are always given, depending on your level. Joining Northpole was a great decision!

North pole dance studio is an amazing place for people who are serious about learning pole dancing. I started 2 years ago and I've made amazing friends at the studio. I love how every teacher is unique and inspiring. You learn something from each one of them. One of my favorite thing about this place is the show case. I love working on my routine and I love how it brings all the students together. We want eachother to do well ! Even when the weather is bad, you'll still find me going to class 😄 I'm so grateful to Taya for starting this studio that has helped me through many life challenges - breakups, job loss... etc. Pole dancing has become a way of life for me !

I can proudly say that North Pole studio is my second home. It is a Judgmental free, clean and spacious place with a wide variety of different dancing or workout classes. I have been watching and adoring Taya's dances and pole tricks for about a year since I discovered her page. From the day I finally decided (that was back in 2019) to come to my first pole class I fell in love with pole fitness and with Taya - student-focused, energetic and experienced instructor who inspired me to join the poledancing sport without even knowing me. However it was the one and only pole class for me in 2019 as shortly after I got to know that I'm pregnant with my second child. But the journey at NP did not stop here - I was feeling well enough throughout my baby bump phase to come to pregnancy safe stretching classes almost until my due date. When covid restrictions were lifted i was finally able to return to pole clasess again. I now literally run to the studio each time as its part of my life that challenges and motivates me. I also have to mention the strong and supportive community that NP studio has - where you always feel safe and confident. Every teacher in the studio is caring, encouraging and disciplined. Im extremely thankful and proud to be one of the NP studio student. I would be and am more than happy to recommend North Pole Dance studio to anyone.

I believe this is the strongest pole studio in Toronto. The owner, Taya, is so passionate about what she does and she has really created a great community here. All of the teachers are very encouraging and professional, and several new moves are introduced every class. There is an emphasis on acrobatic, elegant moves.

Such an amazing group of teachers! I'm so happy I chose this studio. Everyone is friendly and warm. It's a place where you really want to go.

Knowledgeable, talented instructors who value the importance of teaching good technique to keep us safe and injury-free, and who make an effort to learn all the students' names. Open to all ages, genders and body types. I appreciate that there is a culture of cleaning down the poles after you use them and there is no pole-sharing so you get the most out of one class. I have been here a year now and fully intend to keep going, it is an amazing workout!

Having tried just a few classes here, I understand why some call this place their second home. This studio is magical, you feel yourself transform and your confidence grow as you continue to show up and learn new dance moves and pole tricks. The owner and instructors are real pros, always challenging you to be better, stronger, to be more graceful. The environment is super fun and inclusive. Forever grateful for having come across this gem of a place and become a part of this community. Highly recommend it! Do get the full membership, you get so much more out of it! :)

I have been member for over a year and all I can say.....is this studio has changed my life! I am a 50+ yr old woman when walked in , far from a "dancer" in any form. Fast forward 15 months later I am more fit and flexible and getting stronger daily. What I love about this studio unlike other gyms North Pole Studio has an amazing positive vibe from the moment you walk in. The teacher are outstanding and friendly. There is no judgment whatsoever only positive body image! There is a variety of classes from basic beginners pole to advanced, exotice dance , twerk and pole art. The conditioning and stretch classes push you to your limits that you just need to come back for more. I can't give the ladies of North Pole Dance enough credit for all they do. Get it on your bucket list...take just one class and for sure you will be be back for more !

I absolutely love North Pole Dance studio! I decided to try pole fitness as a fun alternative to gym and also to boost my confidence and self esteem. Taya's dance studio was an unexpected game changer for me! From instructors to fellow students, this place is so full of strong, beautiful, and inspiring women that support and encourage each other and are genuinely happy to see you progress. No judgement, no drama, no jealous competition, this place brings me peace and happiness and does wonders to my physical and mental health. I'm in my 30s and I can confidently say that I look so much better now than I did in my 20s!

I joined the studio recently after a long break. 14 years to be exact. I signed up for the beginner class but after my second class Taya - the owner of this amazing place - told me I should move up to intermediate class because I wouldn’t benefit from staying at the beginner class. She was so right. I love coming to classes, every trainer is wonderful and so encouraging. It’s a judgment free place and I felt at ease from the very first moment I entered the studio. Joining the studio was the best decision I’ve made in a long time.

North Pole Dance provides an ideal environment for advancing your pole skills. The instructors are both knowledgeable and talented, each adding their own distinctive touch to every lesson. I especially like that there are a diverse range of classes available every day of the week, which makes the membership feel all the more valuable. I’m very happy to have joined this community! My advice: don’t hesitate if you’re thinking about joining. :)

North Pole studio was the best choice I’ve ever made. I’ve been going here for a year now consistently. Since the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed and embraced. Not once did I feel any judgement or intimidation. The teachers here are amazing at what they do, and even more amazing as people and as coaches. I have felt so supported in every class and have made great progress here thanks to my mentors. I gained physical and mental strength and discovered a huge passion at North Pole dance, as well as such an uplifting and welcoming community. If you want to begin pole, I warmly and strongly recommend North Pole studio!

This studio is phenomenal! Right from the first classes you feel supported, learn quickly and are challenged. All the instructors are full of knowledge to help you look good and do some incredible moves safely. There are lots of different class time options for each level which is great to help fit in to schedules. Love this place!

Taya, her team, and the community at NDP are the absolute best. I started a year ago without having any experience with physical activity (no sports, no gym, nothing) but wanted to become strong in a way that would also be artistic. I started with horrible grip, bad coordination, and was very weak. Now, a year later, I feel confident trying new and more complex moves/choreographies each week alongside some of the most talented, strong, and kind people I’ve ever met. The instructors at NDP are persistent, they believe in you, and they make hard work fun while prioritizing safe practices for different skill levels.

I wanted to thank the whole north pole dance team for awesome classes. I feel very welcome at each class and it feels like it’s been a long time that Im taking north pole dance’s classes. I love how instructors pay attention to details for each individual and that’s what makes a dance beautiful. They push you to new challenges every time and that is great. I didn’t know how much I can do more….! Thank you! Thank you thank you!

The best studio! The instructors always push me to be my strongest self. Great community, great range of classes, just amazing overall :)

All-inclusive, judgment-free studio that operates in a professional level with superbly talented teachers. I love how fun and creative the teachers can be. Their different styles in teaching and dancing are true works of art. I'm one of their biggest fans! The owner, Taya, is not only a great poler, she’s also an amazing art photographer and pole wear designer. Such an inspiring studio to be in. And I’m a proud member of it! Wow!

The North Pole Dance Studio is so far the best in the city for me, I consider it as my 2nd home! I've started to go early in 2022 and I immediately felt safe. Taya and her instructors are so kind and knowledgeable, they are always available to answer any of your questions and guide me throughout my pole dance journey The studio not only offers pole dance classes but also stretching and conditioning to help you get your flexibility and gain strengths. Do not hesitate to try a class there! You will feel welcomed the 2nd you set a foot inside :)

This is such a phenomenal pole studio! All of the teachers are wonderful and the students are so supportive of and helpful to one another. It was such a treat to get so much 1:1 help from the teachers, and I felt I was able to learn new moves and push myself safely.

Taya and the other instructors at North Pole Dance are amazing! I have tried other studios in the past, but there's no place like North Pole Dance. The instructors are knowledgable and want to help you improve. They give you that extra little push and challenge that helps you grow. Everyone at the studio is so welcoming, the teachers and studios. Truly so grateful to have found such an amazing, safe space, which I truly believe is the BEST POLE STUDIO in Toronto!

Good things happen when you try new things! Taya has made more than a fitness dance studio, she has made a second-home for strong, supportive, women and men who lift each other up. North Pole Dance has brought so much joy into my life - improving my strength, mental health, self-esteem, and sense of community. Forever grateful to be apart of the best pole dance studio is Toronto!

I used to go to North Pole before pandemic hit and was not sure what to do next. As soon as government approved of studios to be open I contacted a few studios and North Pole was only one with flexible schedule good attitude and generally positive. After two something years it took me a couple months to get my strength and confidence and all thanks to Taya for encouraging pushing and telling me never give up. Trust me a good location is not a good place. A good teacher IS. If you never been at North Pole dance I suggest you to come and try. If you already have a studio that you going still come and see maybe you will find something that you need. I definitely found my workout place, my fun place, place with friends and supporters of my goals and also where I can be me without anyone judging me. Come and see for yourself

It's been 5 years since i came to North Pole dance for the first time. It's a great spacious studio with a variety of classes. Every level is welcomed. Many classes for beginners. The atmisohere is very friendly and supporting. Would recommend to everybody.

Taya is my first pole teacher, she is very personable and detailed when it comes to explaining the moves. She is energetic, and teaches class with enthusiasm. The girls at studio very supportive of each other. I enjoy coming to studio, highly recommend for anyone who is interested in pole and learning to dance on heels

I feel so fortunate to have discovered pole dancing during a low point in my life. Pole dancing helped me cope with self-sabotage, body anxiety, and status anxiety. No matter what happens outside, I know there’s always a safe place for me. I would recommend this studio for 3 reasons😊: 1️⃣ **Supportive environment.** I never felt any connection with teachers in other studios. In NPD, I have a group of classmates and teachers who celebrate every single achievement with me. It’s more than a place to dance; it's a family where you feel a sense of belonging. People come from different backgrounds, creating a non-judgmental environment where everyone can find their place. 2️⃣ **Detailed and step-by-step fundamental courses, which will build up your strong pole dance foundation.** It’s beginner-friendly, and the different types of courses, including stretching and conditioning, will help you improve if you can stick with it. The teachers go into details about "pointing your toes" and "straightening your leg" etc. to make your moves more elegant as well. 3️⃣ Develop a better body-mind relationship. Pole dance serves as my therapy. Coming from a patriarchal culture, I often experienced body anxiety in my youth, and showing one's body was considered taboo. Pole dance has definitely helped me cultivate a better connection with my body. It was a significant accomplishment for me that, after one year of learning, I could confidently perform solo in front of an audience. This is a sport/dance that yields visible results when you invest time in it.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to North Pole Dance studio about a month and a half ago by a friend, and I was immediately impressed. I've already purchased a six-month membership and can confidently say that my experience has been fantastic. Taya and her team of instructors are not only highly professional but also incredibly passionate about what they do. Despite being a complete novice with zero dance experience, I immediately felt welcomed and at ease. The instructors pay close attention to each learning dancer, ensuring that everyone receives personalized guidance and support. Whether you're a experienced dancer or a complete beginner like myself, I highly recommend this studio for its welcoming atmosphere, professional instruction, and passion for dance.

Joining NPD was one of the best decisions I’ve made! I think they have the best training and a great community. They also have a consistent class schedule which makes it easy for me to coordinate around my personal schedule. All instructors are extremely welcoming and have their own teaching styles.
