The programs they offer
“A great place for kids and adults to take aerial classes”
“Starting something as new and daunting as aerial silks as an adult was intimidating, but Ashley never hesitated to share her own journey of starting the sport later in life.”
What families & students say
“Great instructors at least that's what I saw and what the girl I babysit says she loves it here and I just watched the end of the year performance and WOW I WAS BLOWN AWAY!”
“Her perspective gave me the confidence to push through when things got tough (and let’s be honest, silks can be very hard!”
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.
Very safety conscious and super supportive. That is the most fun Ive had and its a great workout to boot! Cant wait til my daughter is old enough to go too! I love it and I will definently be returning!!!
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.
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.
