Best Acting Classes in Wilmington, DE

There are always risks involved with any physical activity but aerial dance is really no more dangerous than any other sport or movement training. Ascend and its instructors work hard to manage any risk and keep students as safe as possible. We have a structured curriculum that allows students to progress at a safe pace and focuses on proper technique and injury prevention. Proper crash mats are used and equipment is inspected frequently. Beginners work very close to the ground and our studio is floored with padded gymnastics carpeting. Your safety is always our first priority.

Do not worry! It is surprising how many professional aerialists are afraid of heights. We have very small class sizes and our instructors are sensitive to working with students who have issues with heights. Beginners work right off of the mat and moves are spotted by instructors.

We can currently accept students ages 8-12 in our Youth Acro and Aerial program. We also have classes specifically for teens. Our adult classes are 18 and up. Students must start in their age group for classes but may be moved to an older class group by studio permission only. We do not believe you can be too old to learn. If you have specific health issues that you are concerned about please feel free to discuss those with us.

Due to Covid-19 we have restructured our classes and payment structure with your health and safety in mind. Prices have increased in order for us to provide an environment that has limited students who are socially distanced and each have their own single use apparatus. Among very small class sizes we have strict cleaning procedures and maintenance tasks that have require more time and money to implement. Monthly tuition for a class that meets once a week is $140. Private lessons are $80/hr for a single person and $110/hr for two people.

Aerial classes are 60 minutes long. Class includes warm up, conditioning, Aerial skills, and cool down. Class sizes are very small and are limited to 8 students so each student will receive a lot of individual attention. Most importantly we offer a very supportive community and welcome everyone who has a desire to learn.
