Esh Circus Arts describes itself as the Boston area’s home for high-quality circus instruction. The program offers classes in many different circus arts at every level, with in-depth programs for students of all ages and abilities, from youth to adult and from beginner to professional. Small classes allow movements to be tailored to each student’s skill, fitness, and flexibility level, with a focus on building strength and confidence, developing body awareness, and learning to move and think creatively while maintaining an emphasis on proper technique and injury prevention. The studio is wheelchair accessible via a ramp to the front door, and there are no stairs inside the building. Esh also hosts workshops with world class coaches, and students describe the equipment as solid and plentiful and the studio space as lovely. One student describes Esh as a queer-friendly space.
Students describe their classes at Esh Circus Arts as a highlight of their week and say that instructors are patient, encouraging, attentive, and supportive. Multiple students say that instructors are knowledgeable, safety-oriented, and clear in their demonstrations and explanations. Several students mention aerial silks and aerial acrobatics in particular, noting that they have taken classes for years and that they feel safe and well trained using the equipment. One student notes that Ellen and Roger have cultivated a space that welcomes all genders, sexualities, body types, and identities. Another student describes the studio as outstanding, with solid and plentiful equipment and a wonderful environment.
Esh Circus Arts states that it is located on the traditional land of the Massachusett Tribe and explicitly acknowledges the Massachusett Tribe and their descendants who still inhabit historical Massachusett territories.
