Teen Aerials – Beginner

As with our adult classes, Teen Aerials classes focus on form and technique in a fun, engaging setting. Rather than simply teach trick after trick, aerials classes at Esh aim to teach students the fundamental “hows” of moving in the air, with the goal of creating versatile and adaptable aerialists. Students will have the opportunity to explore multiple aerial apparatuses, including fabric, single point and static trapeze, lyra, rope, sling, and Spanish web.

Beginner Level

No background in circus or gymnastics is required! We work with each student’s individual skill level and interests in small classes to create a fun and focused learning environment.

Teen Aerials – Intermediate

Intermediate/Advanced Level

For students who have a solid foundation in aerial acrobatics, the intermediate/advanced level class continues to build on students’ skills, grow their movement vocabulary, and refine technique and movement quality in the air. Prior approval is required to join the intermediate/advanced class – contact us at info@eshcircusarts.com prior to registration.

Teen/Tween General Circus

General Circus classes focus on form and technique in a fun, engaging setting, with the goal of creating versatile and adaptable acrobats. Students will have the opportunity to explore many circus arts, including aerial acrobatics, partner balancing, juggling, tumbling, hula hooping, clowning, handbalancing, and more!

General Circus classes are open level – all experience levels are welcome, and no background in circus or gymnastics is required. We work with each student’s individual skill level and interests in small classes to create a fun and focused learning environment. Ages 9+.

Teen/Tween Contortion

This class will focus on building strength, balance, and flexibility in splits, straddle, and backbending. We’ll also work on contortion handstands, elbowstands, and chest stands, as well as some choreography and sequencing to put our skills together! Students will receive personalized attention and will work at a pace that is in line with their experience, strength, and mobility.

Students signing up for this class must be able to push up into a bridge/backbend from the floor and hold it for at least 30 seconds.  Ages 9+.
