All Aerial students (ages 12+) with prior training under an instructor may schedule an assessment to find the right Ascend Aerial class. This is for Aerial Acrobatic Silks only—Aerial Yoga students may start at the beginner level without an assessment.

At minimum, aerial silks students must be able to:

• Climb using basic/French and Russian climbs on both sides to the top of the silks and descend with control
• Do a foot lock in the air on both sides
• Perform a hip key – any entry on both sides

If you cannot do the above skills, you may start with our Intro to Aerial Silks classes or enroll for Beginner classes. We recommend aerial assessments for those wishing to enroll in our advanced beginner, pre-intermediate and intermediate level classes to ensure proper class placement for skill development.
