Classes and Registration

Seaside Circus, located in Gloucester, Ma offers professional level classes, for all ages and all experience levels.  Beginners are welcome, as are experienced aerialists looking to hone their craft.  Classes are small, so everyone has the chance to work on their own apparatus.  Instruction is always tailored to the needs and abilities of each student.

 

Workshops in choreography, aerial act creation, aerial hammock, dance trapeze, acting for aerialists (and aerial work for actors), as well as a variety of other specialty topics, are also offered periodically.  

 

Can’t find a class that fits your schedule? 

Consider taking a private lesson at a time that works for you.  Or if you’ve got at least three students interested in participating - a class of your choice can be created based on what you want to work on.  Email us for details on all of these options.

Open Studio

As an added benefit, current Seaside Circus students are welcome to attend our weekly Open Studio.  This is an opportunity to continue training, working on the skills you have learned in class on your own.  While the instructor is present to ensure everyone is working safely, this is a self-directed training.  Open Studio is only for students who are 16+ and have prior experience - either at Seaside Circus or at another studio.  If you are not a Seaside Circus student currently enrolled in classes, please contact us prior to attending your first Open Studio to confirm your eligibility to participate and let us know you are planning to attend. 

Taster Workshops

Not ready to commit to a full series? Consider taking a taster workshop! Aerial taster workshops are a great way to try out the circus before running away with it.  These one hour workshops are offered monthlyand focus on either silks or trapeze.  No experience necessary.
