Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do parties?
Yes, we do parties! Click on PARTIES above.
Is there an age or weight limit?
There is no weight limit, but we do require students to be at least 4 years old.
Anyone under 18 years of age must arrive at their first class with a parent or guardian to sign a waiver.
What should I wear and bring to class?
We recommend bringing a water bottle and wearing close-fitting workout clothes for class. Do not apply lotion or oils prior to class. Absolutely no jewelry or shoes are allowed on the apparatus, and we recommend you leave your jewelry safely at home, as ADPC is not responsible for lost valuables. We have cubicles in which students may store their belongings while in class.
What are the class sizes?
Our maximum class size for all aerial classes is 6 people. Class time is spent both trying out the
moves and watch others so that you are able to observe form and technique.
What is your refund policy?
Except in the most extenuating of circumstances, we cannot offer refunds for any of our classes.
In cases where students have given us sufficient notice (24 hours +), we can offer an account
credit for the amount paid that can be applied to future classes.
How far in advance should I sign up for a class?
It is best to register as far in advance as possible, to ensure that you have the spot you want.
Some of our classes get booked up a week in advance. Class registration closes 1 hour before class.
Pre-registration is required to attend a class.
Pre-registration is easy. You can sign up online or message, call, email, or text us at
(850) 630-9229 or aerialdancepc@gmail.com
Where can I practice after I take a class?
We offer “Open Studio” classes where students can practice the moves they have learned in class, supervised by an instructor. These classes are included for free with all of our class packages, or they can be purchased per session. Pre-Registration is required. Open Studio is intended to be a forum for students to practice only what they have learned in class; not a free-for-all where they can attempt skills they have seen on YouTube. Open Studio attendees who attempt moves not taught by Aerial Dance PC or who attempt to teach other students new moves will be asked to leave the session.
What are the risks of Aerial Dance?
Aerial Dance is a potentially dangerous activity involving acrobatic work at various heights. The most common injuries are overuse injuries of the shoulders and back, pulled muscles, bruises, fabric burns, and dizziness/nausea (from upside-down or spinning). Possible risks include but are not limited to sprains, broken bones, paralysis, or death. Students agree to
participate at their own risk.
What safety measures do you take?
Aerial Dance PC takes your safety very seriously. Our Trainers have been through a rigorous aerial arts teacher certification at either the New England Center for Circus Arts Nimble Arts, Paper Doll, Born to Fly, or Circus Arts Institute. All of our trainers are CPR certified and have completed an Aerial Dance Teacher Certification Program that focuses on instruction and spotting techniques.
All of our aerial equipment is rated at a minimum of 2,000 lbs. and is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure it is clean
and in good repair.
