Open Training

Open Studio

Open Studio is a great opportunity for students to practice what they are learning in classes. It is available to any NECCA student currently enrolled in Advanced Youth Troupe, adult classes, or private lessons. Open Studio is free as a make-up for missed session classes (maximum two per session). No appointment is necessary—just drop in and the host will help you set up your training area.

More Info

Cost

The  is $10/day or free for current adult session class students or Advanced Youth Troupers to make up missed classes (maximum two per session). Free ProTrack students.

Open Studio Hours

Thursdays: 730-9 pm (Trapezium)

Open Studio follows our session class schedule. When session classes are on break Open Studio will not be offered.

Open Training

Members Only

Members Only is a drop-in training option for more experienced students and circus guests and professionals looking for open practice time. Following an initial orientation, you can check the calendar for available times and equipment. There is no reservation – just sign in and train away! 

More Info

Eligibility

Adult students and professional guests who are comfortable training without a coach are welcome. Advanced Youth Troupe students may receive permission based on instructor and parent/guardian permission.

To sign up please email Marissa at mpeck@necenterforcircusarts.org.

Cost

There is a mandatory $30 orientation.

Members Only costs $10/day or $70/month for unlimited training during Members Only times. Members Only is free for ProTrack students.

Registration

  1. Before signing up for Members Only, make sure you have completed a Members Only orientation. If you have not, you can pay for one here and schedule one by emailing mpeck@necenterforcircusarts.org.
  2. Our Members Only training times are drop in times and training locations are first come first serve. Please pay ahead of time by clicking “drop in” under the Members Only Daily section.

Daily Registration Monthly Registration

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.
