From the reviews

Transcendence is so much more than just an aerial gym to me, and my instructor, Ashley, is so much more than just a teacher. She is an inspiration, a mentor, a true friend, and an unwavering cheerleader.

The classes and times are great. Staff is super friendly and professional. I love watching my daughter on the silks! What a great unique experience. Something we will cherish forever.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Dec 2017

I was part of TAD for many years and could not be more grateful for Dede and Lacey and all they did for me!! Great facility. Great teachers. Great environment! I was challenged, encouraged, kept safe, and given the opportunity to learn and grow in a creative space and I had some of the best times of my life there.

Adult ballet at Transcendence Aerial & Dance

Transcendence Aerial & Dance runs classes for grown-ups — confirmed on their own site. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.

Your first ballet class at Transcendence Aerial & Dance

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
