ESH RESPONSE TO COVID-19

Update 6/20/20:

Hello Esh community! An update on the how and when of Esh reopening:

Governor Baker recently announced that Phase 2 Step 2 of the reopening of the Massachusetts economy would begin on Monday June 22nd.

Phase 2 Step 1 allows for youth recreational programming with restrictions. Phase 2 Step 2 allows for very limited adult programming with significant restrictions. We are taking some time to assess whether it makes sense for Esh to open for adult programming during Phase 2. More adult programming, including small group classes, will be permitted as part of Phase 3, though we do not yet have a start date for Phase 3. We will continue to keep you updated as we learn more. We do plan to continue to offer online classes for the foreseeable future!

In the meantime, we are getting the studio set up and getting excited to welcome our students back! We’ll update with more information soon.

While our studio remains partially closed, please join us for online classes! You do not need to be a current student to sign up for online classes. These classes are open to all.

As always, please reach out to us at info@eshcircusarts.com with any questions.

With love,
Ellen, Roger, and the team at Esh

“I visited Esh for my first trapeze/hoop class last night, and it is amazing. In an hour and a half I learned a knee hang, a sit, and three tricks. If you’ve been thinking about trying an aerials class I highly recommend Esh. The instruction and customer service are top-notch!”

– STUDENT

“I have been taking aerial silks classes at Esh since 2010, and it has been one of the most rewarding activities I’ve done. Every teacher I’ve had there has been capable, careful, adaptable, funny, and encouraging. The whole Esh community is incredibly supportive and inspiring.”

– STUDENT

“Aerial acrobatics are mentally engaging, creatively freeing, and a fantastic way to trick yourself into going to the gym every week!
