Adult Session Classes

We are committed to offering only the highest quality of personalized circus instruction to our students. Classes at Esh are small in order to maximize student-teacher interaction and personalized instruction. Aerials classes are capped at 4-6 students, while most ground acrobatics classes are capped at 4-8 students, depending on the discipline.

Our instructors are all professionals in their field. All have trained as circus and fitness instructors, and many hold multiple certifications in fitness, health, and wellness. Many of our instructors also perform professionally as circus artists.

Drop-ins are available for some of the classes on our weekly schedule. To learn more, visit the Adult Session Make-up/Drop-in Calendar on the Schedule & Registration page.

Aerial Classes

Aerial silks (also known as aerial fabric, aerial tissue, aerial ribbons or chiffon) consist of a single length of special nylon fabric folded in half and attached to a piece of rigging to create two long tails. Through use of friction, knots, and wraps, the fabric can be used for a wide range of sequences, poses, drops, and other movements. A relatively young circus art, aerial silks was invented in the early 1960s, but only became widely recognized in 1998 when Isabelle Chasse performed an aerial silks act in the Cirque du Soleil production, Quidam.

We offer aerial silks classes in all levels, from Level 101 through Level 501, as well as an Advanced class for very experienced students.

The goals of these classes are:

  • To build body awareness, strength, and flexibility
  • To introduce and maintain strong form and technique
  • To build and expand a versatile movement vocabulary
  • To give students the opportunity to be creative and playful in the air through improvisation and routine-building
  • To always emphasize good safety habits and injury prevention

LEVEL 101

This beginner-level class is for people who are either brand new (in their first-ever class or set of classes) or who are learning to get comfortable on the aerial silks. Level 1 introduces students to the fundamentals of form and technique. Students will learn to wrap foot locks, execute several poses low to the ground, and start to get comfortable being upside down. Students in this level will work on strength, body awareness, and comfort in the air. Students may spend a couple of sessions at this level while they build core and upper body strength.

Pre-requisites for Level 101:

  • Ability to hang from one’s hands briefly
  • Ability to engage safely in moderate physical activity

LEVEL 101 POWER

Level 101 Power classes are aimed at those students who do not necessarily have specific experience in the discipline being taught, but who have applicable strength and/or flexibility from a background in a related physical discipline (gymnastics, dance, rock climbing, etc.) Power classes cover the same material as a regular 101 class, but will move at a faster pace and might include more challenging variations on skills. If you are unsure whether a Power class is appropriate for you, please contact us with a specific description of your background.

Pre-requisites for Level 101 Power:

Static Trapeze and Aerial Hoop are both in the “horizontal” or “bar” category of aerial disciplines. We combine both of these apparatuses at Level 101, as their movement vocabularies are similar and complementary at the beginner level.

Distinct from its oft-confused cousins flying trapeze and swinging trapeze, Static Trapeze (a.k.a. trap) consists of a single bar suspended from two ropes hanging from two points on the ceiling. Poses, sequences and dynamic movements are performed under the bar, on the bar, and up in the ropes.

Aerial Hoop (a.k.a. lyra, cerceau, aerial ring) consists of a steel hoop suspended in the air. Our aerial hoop classes use both single-tab hoops and double-tab hoops; we have varying sizes of hoops to accommodate students of different heights!

Static Trapeze/Aerial Hoop classes focus on building students’ confidence and technique on the bar. The goals of these classes are:

  • To build the body awareness, strength, and flexibility to allow students to progress and specialize in either hoop or trapeze beginning in Level 201
  • To introduce and maintain strong form and technique
  • To build and expand a versatile movement vocabulary
  • To give students the opportunity to be creative and playful in the air through improvisation and routine-building
  • To always emphasize good safety habits and injury prevention

Aerial rope (also known as corde lisse, meaning “smooth rope”) consists of a single length of cotton rope wrapped in a smooth cotton sheath. Though many movements from aerial silks translate easily to aerial rope, due to differences in friction, flexibility, and grip diameter, movements can change drastically when performed on the rope rather than the silks. Rope classes at Esh focus on the unique qualities of the apparatus, and include significant rope-specific movement vocabulary.

The goals of these classes are:

  • To build body awareness, strength, and flexibility
  • To introduce and maintain strong form and technique

Straps Level 101 is aimed at building the strength and mobility needed for aerial straps training, as well as for all other aerial disciplines! This class has no skill prerequisites and is a great place to start your aerial straps journey, or to build your aerial strength, range of motion, and spin tolerance for work on other apparatuses. Please note that aerial straps class involves wrapping the straps around the wrists, which can be uncomfortable. If you are sensitive to pressure or have a history of wrist issues, we recommend trying straps in a private lesson before signing up for a full session.

Level 201 Straps

Students in Level 201 will continue to build strength and control in various poses (meathook, support hold, planches, etc), and will work on movements and sequences including spinning skills, skin the cat, butterflies, roll-ups, swinging technique, and more.

Pre-requisites for Level 201:

  • Ability to invert from the ground with bent arms and return to standing with control, without help from an instructor
  • Ability to hold inverted straddle, tuck, pike, and arrow positions with stacked spine for at least 10 seconds without assistance
  • Ability to hang from straight arms with shoulders and abs engaged for at least 10 seconds
  • Ability to put on basic wrist wraps without cues from instructor
  • Understanding of how to hang safely from wrist loops
  • Ability to put on support wrap without cues from instructor

Level 301 Straps

Students in Level 301 will continue to build strength and control in various poses, refine technique in dynamic movements, and build sequences. Admission to Straps 301 is by instructor permission.

Circus truly is for everyone! Gentle Aerials is aimed at students who are overcoming a fear of heights, working with physical limitations, or who simply want to slow down and take their time. This class will introduce students to the fundamentals of aerial sling, aerial silks, hoop, and trapeze at a relaxed pace. Classes will include a full warm-up, followed by skill work and review with a focus on good form and technique. Apparatuses will be hung lower to the ground to facilitate easier mounting and dismounting.

Ground-Based Classes

Partner acrobatics consists of one person (the “base”) supporting another person (the “flyer”) in a variety of poses, lifts, and dynamic movements. Classes at Esh explore a range of partner and group balancing poses and transitions, and emphasize good form and safe spotting techniques. Students will develop strength and coordination, and focus on the “hows” of balancing, breaking down how each trick works, and how to experiment safely to develop new variations. No need to bring a partner – the whole class works together!

Level 1

This intro-level class will familiarize students with the basics of partnering: weight-sharing, counterbalance, alignment, timing, and both verbal and non-verbal communication.

Students do not need to have experience with partner acrobatics, and no partner is required for registration!

Level 2

Level 2 will build on the skills developed in Level 1, and will introduce students to more challenging skills and short sequences. We will begin to explore basic overhead lifts, refine technique for stacks/standing on shoulders, and will play with more complex counterbalances. This level is appropriate for students who have some experience with partner balancing, either at Esh or at other schools.

Prerequisites: 

  • Comfort basing or flying a thigh stand counterbalance
  • Comfort basing or flying any skill that involves an inversion (eg, the flyer goes upside-down)

Level 4

Level 4 is for students who are comfortable either basing or flying a variety of overhead lifts and counterbalances, hand-to-foot (with a the base lying down), and hand-to-hand (with the base lying down). Students in this level will work on standing hand-to-hand and hand-to-foot, toss skills, and more advanced lifts with the help of safety lines. We will continue to work on improvisation in pairs and groups using the knowledge and movement vocabulary developed in previous levels.

Prerequisites:

  • Able to enter, hold briefly, and exit overhead bird lift cleanly as a base or flyer
  • Comfort with walking in stacks as a base or flyer

Advanced Topics

We offer a rotating schedule of advanced topics in partner acrobatics. Each topic has its own prerequisites based on the focus of the class. Check the sign-up page for details on the current advanced topics class!

Dynamic Partner Acro

This advanced partner acrobatics class focuses on dynamic partner skills such as pitching, flipping and twisting, and more complex entrances to standing hand-to-hand and hand-to-foot. Classes will include a thorough warm-up, followed by drills to build strong technique and good timing. Students must register for the class in base/flyer pairs, and will spend a good portion of each class working directly with a coach on their specific goals. Students must be interested in improving project skills with a dedicated partner. Instructor permission is required before registering.

Whether your goal is learning how to get into a handstand or to learn handbalancing shapes like crocodiles, mexican handstands, and one arms, handbalancing classes at Esh will help get you there! Classes are limited to 6 students so that each student receives plenty of individual attention. Form and technique are the focus, with plenty of drills and progressions for each skill. Students will also learn how to spot one another for a variety of handstand drills, though students are always welcome to opt out of spotting or being spotted by other students.

Level 101

Nervous about working on handstands? Build comfort and confidence upside down while moving at your own pace!

Gentle Tumbling

Gentle Tumbling offers a slower approach to tumbling that’s designed to be accessible to folks who are working with mobility limitations, who have struggled with tumbling in the past, or who just want to slow down and take their time!  We’ll use many different drills, progressions, explanations, and levels of assistance (i.e. spotting) to help each student achieve a new level of success as they work toward several introductory tumbling skills: Forward Rolls, Backward Rolls, Handstands, Cartwheels, and Bridges.  We will take our time and break each skill down into the fundamental components – strength, flexibility, positions, timing, & technique. Everyone learns differently, and this class will allow each student to explore and advance at their own pace.

Prerequisites:

  • Able to put weight on hands and wrists
  • Able to pull head forward with hands (i.e. stretch back of neck)
  • Able to have impact on legs individually (i.e. gentle running)
  • Willingness to be spotted encouraged

Level 101

In this accessible, fun, yet focused class, we’ll review all the basic skills, drills, body positions, and strength you’ll need to be a proficient beginner tumbler. In an eight-week class we’ll cover forward and backward rolls, handstands, cartwheels, bridges, handstand forward rolls, round-offs, and dive forward rolls, along with many supportive drills and complementary versions of those skills. With an emphasis on form and technique, the coach will make sure you understand all aspects of each skill, giving you more meaningful attempts, thereby minimizing risk of injury. Each class will begin with a review of drills and skills covered up to that point, then will launch into the new material for the day, all the while integrating lots of strength and flexibility conditioning directly into the whole lesson. First-time beginners are highly encouraged to avoid absences in order to not miss important progressions.

Prerequisites:

  • Able to put body weight through upside-down overhead arms (i.e. shoulders to wrists) for 2 mins. at a time
  • Able to tuck head forward with most of body weight (i.e. stretching back of neck)
  • Able to split legs minimum of 75º apart
  • Able to jump off of and have impact on legs together and individually (i.e. jumping and running)
  • Willingness to be spotted encouraged

Level 101 Power

Tumbling 101 Power is similar to its standard 101 counterpart, but it both moves at a faster pace as well as goes a little deeper into skill development and technique. This class will cover Forward Rolls, Backward Rolls, Kick-to-Handstands, Cartwheels, Bridges, Handstand Forward Rolls, Round-offs, and Dive Forward Rolls, as well as the fundamental drills, body positions, strength, and flexibility needed to give students a deeper understanding of the skills. With an emphasis on form and technique, the coach will make sure you understand all aspects of each skill, giving you more meaningful attempts, thereby minimizing risk of injury.

Prerequisites:

  • Must have taken at least one session of Tumbling 101 at Esh (or have previous tumbling experience at another gym)
  • Must be proficient at Forward Rolls, Backward Rolls, Kick-to-Handstands (no hold necessary), and Cartwheels safely on their own, landing on their feet consistently.

Level 102

In this alternative Tumbling 100-level class, we’ll explore a whole session’s worth of skills that are still accessible at the 100 level, but aren’t covered in the traditional Tumbling 101 class. Over the course of the session we’ll cover skills like Straddle and Pike Rolls, Side Handstands and Headstands, 1-Arm Cartwheels and Side Cartwheels, more Bridge challenges, Straight-Arm Handstand Rolling, Hurdling and Rebounding, Gymnastics Jumping, Leaping, and Turning, and Connecting Skills in Series/Sequences. While these skills are not necessary in order to progress to the Tumbling 201 level, they are very helpful at filling in the gaps and supporting proficiency of the basics!

Prerequisites:

  • Must have taken at least one session of Tumbling 101 at Esh (or have previous tumbling experience at another gym), and should be proficient at most Tumbling 101 skills
  • Willingness to be spotted encouraged

Level 201

Tumbling 201 is the next level of tumbling skills after Tumbling 101. The session will begin with a review of all the basic tumbling positions, drills, conditioning, and skills of Tumbling 101, to make sure everyone in the class is on the same page with the basics, as well as to understand how even a basic skill can be done with more purposeful technique as we progress. We’ll then continue with Tumbling 201-level skills such as Handstand Walking, Back Extension Rolls, Front and Back Walkovers, and Front and Back Handsprings. We will stay focused on strength and drills to ease you into the more challenging skills. With an emphasis on form and technique, the coach will make sure you understand all aspects of each skill, giving you more meaningful attempts, thereby minimizing risk of injury.

Prerequisites:

  • Must have a solid foundation of Tumbling 101 skills (in both execution and technique), and permission of instructor.
  • If you have never taken a tumbling class at Esh before, please send an email to the office to inquire about how to get cleared to register for this class, which may involve answering a brief “Tumbling Questionnaire” about your gymnastics or tumbling experience/background, and/or taking a Tumbling Eval Lesson.

This class will train students in the basics of tight-wire walking, and give them a chance to explore an exciting and unique apparatus – the walking pipe. Walking pipe is a horizontal pipe apparatus, suspended between two low platforms, that allows the performer to employ skills in wire walking, hand balancing, and acrobatics.

Students will learn the body mechanics and technique required to stay balanced as they learn to walk, turn, lie down, run and eventually dance across the wire. As students advance they will learn more complex movements and sequences. Students will also learn the acrobatic skills necessary to perform on the walking pipe. No previous experience in pipe or wire walking is required. Come play and discover a new and exciting world of creativity and balance!

Level 201+

This class is for Wire & Pipe students who have a solid baseline of experience and competency on each apparatus.

The Cyr Wheel, or Mono Wheel, is a beautifully elegant and simple apparatus that is related to the German wheel. It is a single metal hoop that you stand inside while spinning on the ground, cartwheeling, and maintaining your momentum. This small, focused class guides students through the basics of Cyr Wheel movement, with each student able to move forward at their own pace. Classes begin with a vigorous warm-up, followed by skill building. At the end of each class we will condition core and shoulder muscles to build the strength needed to more effectively use the apparatus. Cyr Wheel is a new apparatus, but it has quickly grown in popularity – join us to learn why, and try something truly unique!

Dance classes at Esh focus on form, technique, and movement quality while affirming that all bodies are dance bodies! Introductory level classes move at a pace that allows for questions and discussion so that all students feel supported in learning the foundations of dance. At higher levels, students will participate in building their own choreography and exploring concepts of improvisation and composition.

Dance class offerings change frequently. Please check the current class schedule for details.

Explore everything circus has to offer in this new 8-week session class! Survey of Circus will introduce students to a wide range of circus arts, from aerials to tight-wire, juggling and hula hooping to partner acro, and beyond!

There are no pre-requisites, and everyone is welcome.

Fitness & Training Classes

Wishing for more open shoulders, want to get your splits, yearning for a bendier back? This class is designed to help students increase range of motion and reach flexibility goals. Each class will include a full body warm-up, followed by solo and partner stretching to increase flexibility in all parts of the body. Each student will also work with the instructor to create a do-at-home flexibility regimen.

This class is designed for everyone- no specific level of flexibility required!

Want to work out like circus stars? This 75 minute open-level class is designed to build overall fitness by focusing on strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility. This class is great for everyone from non-acrobats looking for a unique workout to full-time circus students in training. While we will use the aerial apparatuses in the space, we will not be teaching any skills beyond climbing silks and hanging from hands and knees on the bar. No previous experience necessary!

“Point your toes!”
– every circus coach ever

The benefits of cross-training in dance can be immense for circus students and performers, and yet sometimes it can feel intimidating to drop into a class full of “dancers” and feel overwhelmed by lingo and fine-detail technique. This class is specifically designed with circus students in mind: we will focus on creating a useful foundation for clean lines, articulation, and proprioceptive awareness that we can maintain while in the air, upside down, or any other way we find ourselves circus-ing. We will focus on the minute details of how to create a really beautiful, consistent toe point, as well as how to maintain a full-body awareness of ourselves as a whole, moving through space. Drawing from ballet and modern techniques, this class will focus primarily on simple barre work, with a small amount of floorwork at the end of each class to synthesize our learning and work on building our memory for choreography.

Level 101/201

This class is for students with little-to-no experience with ballet. We will move at a pace that works for the group as a whole, and take as much time as needed to answer questions while we learn the basics of balance, extension, and pointing our toes. No prior dance experience of any sort required!

Level 301/401

This class is appropriate for students with some knowledge of ballet terms, and the ability to execute brief barre exercises from memory. Completion of 1-2 sessions of Level 101/201, or comparable dance experience, is recommended, though not required. This class is aimed at dancers who would consider themselves Intermediate level students. Contact the instructor with any questions about placement.
