Studio V Dance

Expérience fantastique: Love this studio and the community that comes with it The teachers are all very talented and supportive in their classes with each of their own unique creativity! I’ve been coming here for over 2 years and I always leave class feeling happy, I showed up and challenged myself - and who doesn’t love to dance at the end of the day? There is a wide variety of classes to take and build your skills upon with the opportunity to perform in shows if interested

Expérience fantastique: This is an amazing place and I've learned so much from here! I've learned so much ever since I started going here (this wasn't my first pole dance studio). The classes are good, the instructors are good and the environment is amazing (THEY GIVE FREE SNACKS SOMETIMESS!!!) I want to give some special love for Peachy and Miss Dawn ALSO IGNORE ALL THE REVIEWS THAT SAY STUPID THINGS ABOUT MISS DAWN!!!! When I came to the studio I was weary because of a review but after having some experience myself I can only say the best things about Miss Dawn. She is kind and nice and I love her. She can be strict about the rules but what else would you expect from the owner of the studio haha! Amazing place 10/10 would recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructors, welcoming and nonjudgemental environment, gorgeous space, convenient location Beginner instructors have all been great for working with students having a wide range of fitness and dance experience levels. The included conditioning and flexibility classes are a great value add that actually help a lot in the dance classes. Spots in classes are reserved up to 1 week in advance, so there's more commitment than a drop-in group fitness session but you can still tailor your schedule week by week. On a personal note, I took some dance and gymnastics classes as a kid but always hated them - I was sort of a late bloomer physically and I struggled to keep up with the choreo. Unfortunately a lot of extracurriculars for kids tend to push kids into a competitive or intensive stream cause that's where the profit is for them and feeling like I wasn't good enough for that did a lot to undermine my confidence. It means a lot to me when I can say that Studio V's staff have genuinely made me feel like I can learn and improve at my own pace.

Expérience fantastique: I have been coming here for almost a year and love it. The owners and staff are attentive and really friendly. Plus, the studio is ideally located near Lansdowne station. It is a 10/10!!

Expérience fantastique: Best crew. Get your fitness on. Also great for private events.

Expérience fantastique: Professional training and amazing atmosphere!

Expérience fantastique: I have been coming here for years and I absolutely love going here! The staff is incredibly inclusive and friendly. They go above and beyond to make their clients feel included and are so thoughtful even down to providing healthy snacks for their clients. They have a wide range of classes with wonderful instructors who always make sure to meet you where you're at in your pole journey and accomodate you.

Expérience fantastique: Love coming here to learn pole dance & lyra hoop

Expérience fantastique: Studio V Dance puts on a flawless night from beginning to end. Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me <3

Expérience positive: This studio is gorgeous and pole instructors are very friendly and attentive. This studio is also used for events, so the space is very open. Super close to Lansdowne station! The owner provides tray of treats and juice (dried fruit, cheese, crackers) for students/clients. There are times when catering/rental equipment are left in the space. I had two gentlemen picking up chairs in the middle of the class, meanwhile pole dance class is occurring with music on the other side sectioned off with curtains. No sound proof. Lyra class happening behind. It was too choatic for me to focus! If you plan to look for more professional setting to learn, I would NOT recommend this studio.

Expérience fantastique: Studio looks really nice and instructors are very attentive . Lots of technique building in the classes.

Expérience négative: The instructors are amazing but the owner (Dawn?) is kind of rude. She was very short with me in every interaction I had with her for no apparent reason. Very off-putting. Was willing to spend a lot more money here but now I’m not so sure. You think you’d be a lot nicer to new clients…

Expérience fantastique: Best Pole Studio In the City! The community of women here, the snack table, the teachers, the building, all 10/10!

Expérience fantastique: Most amazing dance space!

Expérience fantastique: I'm sorry, look at the name. How can this be a bad thing? :)

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely LOVE vitality!! The instructors are so nice and so talented! Not only gained so much flexibility but also so much confidence taking their online classes these past few months and only getting better. Truly recommend this place!

Expérience fantastique: I have been taking online classes with different instructors in this studio over the last several months. I really enjoy working with Ms. Dawn - she gives clear instructions, pays attention to what each of us is doing and provides individual feedback and corrections. She is fun and personable. Thank you,

Expérience fantastique: Classes are always a great vibe and so much fun! Also really friendly staff! Can't wait until the studio opens again!

Expérience fantastique: Very beautiful space and always a lovely experience. The staff are very friendly and always helpful. Looking forward to going back!

Expérience fantastique: This is the best of the best when it comes to pole studios!! I felt at home the second I stepped into the warm and stylish industrial environment.. I did not want to leave, and I cant wait to go back for a masked class once they open again. Vitality pole dance & fitness had such an accepting and diverse environment of students and instructors of all shapes sizes, disciplinaries (dances) and orientations. The best instructors for every skill level, extensive online classes Definitely a hidden gem, and so close to Landsdown station, (which is good because most of the street parking get occupied quickly) As a Male dancer it is hard to find a studio that doesn't discriminate against me. studios usually turn me away, thinking that I am there with an alternate agenda The warm staff welcomed me with open arms.. I have finally found a place that accepts me. Vitality is my studio, once they open up for classes... Or once i get enough space to follow along with an awesome and engaging, interactive online class.

Expérience fantastique: The best poledance studio in Toronto!!! Loved everything about it. All the instructors are very nice and welcoming. The classes are fun and exciting, sometimes the only regret I have is that I didn’t have enough time or energy to do them all!! The studio itself is just beautiful with high ceilings and 3 different areas for pole, floor or Lyra. The air ventilation is excellent, I never feel suffocated, too hot or too cold in there. The poles they have are the real deal, a real professional stainless steel poles, so much nicer on my skin and way better grip. I really appreciate all these qualities after my previous experience in another studio that using some kind of pipes as their poles. Those pipes are hard on my skin and bruised me severely. Also, that studio had such a bad air ventilation, mind you it was underground, so sometimes it smells like sewer. How can you take a deep breath in to inhale a stinky air? If you are new to poledance or wanted to try this fitness and joining a studio, pay attention to these qualities. I wish this covid lockdown ended soon and Vitality studio reopened. I missed so much the classes, the sweat, the fun and all the camaraderie that always takes off the stress out of my day.

Expérience négative: I was at this studio for quite a few months, originally really enjoying my time here. I looked past the favouritism, subtle fatphobia, misgendering, and high costs to support and boast this studio because I thought we held similar values. Through the pandemic, while very trying times, it was clear we did not. I asked for more transparency and communication (I was in the instructor training program that I paid over $1300 for, and there was radio silence from the owners and instructors for months), and was met with hostile responses, but at one point invited to come in and talk to 2/3 owners in person where they offered me alcohol to put me in a state of ease, and rarely let me speak instead complaining about another student for “wanting attention” who also brought up issues of this studio. I was thanked for being vulnerable and coming to speak to them, for they claim to be creating a community. Though there were conversations without me, and I was eventually asked not to return just a day after seeing them all and no one saying anything, and the studio and all owners blocking my social media account. It’s a shame to also mention the extreme lack of safety when they were allowed to re-open after the initial lockdown, not enforcing physical distancing, taking off masks, and offering finger foods during these times, and then blocking people on social media who pointed these issues out when they posted unmasked people and trays of food on their Instagram stories. I do think the Toronto pole community is a lot better than this, because what Vitality is creating is a clique, not community.

Expérience fantastique: This place is AMAAAZING! The studio space, the instructors, the music (...the free healthy snacks!) - love it here!

Expérience fantastique: The facilities are big, close to subway stop, and Lady Kori is very sweet.

Expérience fantastique: Super friendly staff and great vibes! Michy is crazy talented and a total sweetheart!

Expérience fantastique: Two of my students and I traveled in to attend 3 workshops at Vitality PDF. We had the best experience! The studio is gorgeous, and their staff was so accommodating. We felt very welcomed into their community. Thank you Vitality PDF for a wonderful afternoon!

Expérience fantastique: One of the most beautiful spaces I’ve seen, and with phenomenal instructors. The atmosphere in this place is indescribable.

Expérience fantastique: The most beautiful pole studio in town with 14ft tall stainless steel poles, tons of natural light and space, and the best instructors!! Everyone (teachers and students alike) are all very nice a supportive of each other and I absolutely love dancing here!

Expérience fantastique: I love all the instructors here, and the space is absolutely beautiful!!!
