RESERVED TRAINING
If you are looking for a specific training space or access to a specific apparatus, or training time outside of Members Only or Open Studio hours, please reach out to schedule this by emailing mpeck@necenterforcircusarts.com. Cost is $10/hr.
RESERVED TRAINING with TRAINING SUPPORT
Many of our advanced and professional students need a support person in order to practice their craft. For example, a puller for an aerial act on our butterfly lift or our mechanical advantage lines, a safety line holder for swinging trapeze, or someone to hand them props during a run through of an act.
If you would like to add Training Support, this is available for 50% off the private lesson fee ($40/1 hour).
NOTE: this does not include instruction. This can be scheduled by emailing scheduler@necenterforcircusarts.org.
—
NOTE: If you have a private lesson scheduled, you are welcome to arrive 30 minutes early and stay 30 minutes late for physical preparation (if the building is open) without needing to pay for Members Only training time. If you wish to stay longer, your private lesson coach can give you permission for a daily membership, but only the Program Director can give permission for monthly memberships or ongoing daily memberships.
This calendar is updated weekly and is subject to change at any time.
