General Information
Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
The Echo West 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. Echo West is the place to learn acrobatics, trapeze, aerial dance, and physical theatre! We have classes, camps, and performances and events for all ages, bodies, and abilities! All Echo Camps include single-point trapeze, aerial silks, acrobatics, physical theater, creative problem-solving, and fun!

Students build confidence, grace, and strength as they explore their potential on the mats and in the air! Campers collaborate with peers and directors as they play physical theater games and create a unique end-of-camp show (or video) for family and friends. Our exceptional student/teacher ratio enables our teaching artists to support the whole student, challenging campers with physical skills, while encouraging their emotional and creative growth. We value a learning environment that brings students of various ages, abilities, and backgrounds together, encouraging mentor-ship and an inclusive atmosphere of mutual respect. We learn together, perform together, and grow together. 

Echo encourages physical confidence, freedom, and grace in a creative, non-competitive atmosphere. Students of all abilities develop strength, balance, flexibility and creativity while working with others to explore circus, movement and storytelling.
