Esh Circus Arts

Wonderful, wonderful, studio. I took a private lesson yesterday for the first time at Esh for silks and thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though it was only 30 minutes, I learned so much during the time and the instructor is really great with fixing your technique.
They have open studio three times a week (one session that is aerials only) which only costs $ 10 and everyone I’ve met so far have been extremely friendly, though I’m a total beginner.
I’m really excited to be more involved with Esh and meet more of the community. I’m hoping to take a session in January, but if not I would definitely keep taking private lessons here and will be making trips to open studio as often as I can.

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. They will meet you where you are in terms of strength and ability, and work up step by step to doing the amazing things you see in the studio. They even have classes for folks working with physical limitations if that’s a concern for you.
Aerial acrobatics are mentally engaging, creatively freeing, and a fantastic way to trick yourself into going to the gym every week! On top of that, the whole Esh community is incredibly supportive and inspiring.
I recommend Esh to people of all ages, backgrounds, and body types with no hesitation.

This is an outstanding studio. The equipment is solid and plentiful, the space is lovely, and the teachers are all *extremely* adept. I feel safe in the air at Esh. More than that, I feel trained, I feel enlarged within myself. It’s a wonderful environment. Do reccommend.

What an excellent space! My partner and I took aerial silks for about a year and loved it. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and always seem excited to be teaching. Ellen and Roger have cultivated a safe space for all genders, sexualities, body types, identities, etc. This is a great queer-​friendly space if you’re looking for an alternative (exciting!!) workout. We would recommend taking silks classes with Ellen, Trevor, or Caroline. We wouldn’t be leaving except we are moving out of state — this is a space we will truly miss!

I visited the new Esh location for my first trapeze/​hoop class last night, and it is amazing. It’s one giant room full of mats and aerials, so you could see all 3 classes going at once– and there was still extra space in the room! I am taking Trevor’s class with 3 other people, which is an ideal size for beginner instruction. It’s a safe atmosphere and you can get a spot if you need it. 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. I’ve also taken contortion with Tracy, which is a great class if you’re looking to push your flexibility limits. Or have someone push you into them, haha.
