Welcome Friends and Flyers
Newest News:
Emerald City and the entire circus community mourn the death of flyer Tito Montoya after an accident this weekend. We have lost a great man and a great flyer.
Thanks to Chris Johnston will for a great Sunday, he came up from California to join us for the weekend!
Our Student Circus Show will be March 14th. We have performances by our Kids Circus, our Aerial girls and our Flying Trapeze regulars. A great opportunity to see what you can learn in our classes here. If you would like to be a part of it as a flyer, an aerialist, or something else, please contact us at admin@emeraldcitytrapeze.com. We’ll let you know when and how often you need to show up to be a part of the show!
We have a new instructor here with Emerald City team. Welcome Lauren Englehorn!
We have now caught up with the aerial wave of Seattle and are offering a monthly fee for OPEN GYM. The fee is $75 and you can come to any of our open gym classes for the entire month. You are also entitled to $10 off any flying trapeze class you take during that month. You don’t have to sign up at the beginning of the month – your card will be valid for 30 days from purchase. Check out our website for open gym times and shoot an email if you have questions about rigging or bringing in your own equipment.
The New Year is here and we are introducing new classes! Check it out:
Physical and Metaphysical Elements of the Aerial Arts
Instructors: Simonne Garrigues and Bruce Magnotti
We will be starting a weekly class, divided into two segments. The first segment will be an introduction to aerial fundamentals using the rope, hoop, trapeze, and fabric. The focus will be basic skills, techniques, and form. This class will be for anyone who is just getting started in the aerial arts, or anyone that needs a refresher course.
The second segment will help aerialists bring together some of the knowledge they have of the aerial equipment and help them gain a relationship with that equipment. No short cuts, but beautiful and flowing ways to get into the moves.
See the class descriptions page for more info.
Wednesdays: first segment 4- 5:30 / second segment 5:30-7
$20 per segment
Aerial Intro
Instructor: Lara Paxton
I have put lots of thought, attention, experience and love into this
six-week series. I am heavily invested in starting new aerialists off
on the right foot. We cover basic vocabulary on static trapeze, dance
trapeze, rope, fabric and hoop. I dedicate a lot of time to
improvisation, how to approach the art, field and community of aerial,
as well as form, safety, and injury prevention. Extensive handouts
provided!
Mondays March 1-April 5
7-9 pm

Sculptural Aerial Weekend
New and exciting pieces from Mark and Lara. The “Calder,” the
“Squaresnake,” the “Oskarmaier,” and the Chickenrootsproutfoot. I’ll

with them the weekend of April 17 and 18. Different sculptures on
each day.
