Echo Theater hosts classes for everyone, ages 1 to 100! (Actually, 1.5 years old is the youngest!) An easy way to navigate our class and camp offerings is by selecting an age group. While we are all kids-at-heart, "KID" means students ages 1 - 15, and "ADULT" means ages 15+. 

FAMILY

We encourage families and intergenerational groups to play, perform and create together. Our popular Baby Circus classes are a great introduction to circus for our youngest students and their parents! Family Circus classes and additional mixed age workshops are offered periodically.

If you are interested in a birthday party or special family event, learn about parties here!

KIDS

We offer classes and camps for multiple age groups:

AGE 4 - 6, AGE 6 - 10, AGE 10 - 13, AGE 13 - 17

Echo also supports two youth performance ensembles at the Echo Theater, the Tik Toks (ages 9 - 14) and the Zig Zags (13 - 18) and a training company at Echo West, Brio (ages 10 - 18).

ADULT

Adult classes are available for ages 15+. You can search by discipline or browse all of the adult (15+) classes. Please note, several classes are listed under multiple disciplines

For more information about each discipline, check out our "By Subject" page, which includes descriptions.

Note: Some classes require prerequisites. 

OUR MISSION

The Echo Theater Company encourages physical confidence, freedom, and grace in a creative, non-competitive atmosphere. Students of all ages and abilities develop their strength and creativity while exploring the intersections of circus, movement, and storytelling in a collaborative setting.

  • “Most of all, I remember how Echo Theater taught me to pursue what I love, and reassured me that the pursuit of love would be met with a warm, enthusiastic community of supporters and mentors who believed in my success.”

  • “Echo became a safe space for me to explore new possibilities and ideas through physical movement collaboration, and ensemble work with others. I was provided the space and guidance I needed to find my own voice. Letting go of my fear of failure was one of the most freeing things I have done in my life.”
