About the program

Train full-time in a focused, career-prep environment alongside a small cohort of serious artists.

Mornings are core curriculum — specialty coaching, handstands, tumbling, strength & mobility. Afternoons are extended training and act building.

All students get unlimited self-training access to the fully equipped facility at 28 Eliot Street, Natick, MA.

Who it’s for

Post-high-school students and adults pursuing a professional circus career.

The dividing line between Mastery and Mastery Prep is school completion, not age. If you have a diploma or GED, this is your program — whether you’re 17 or 35.

No fixed program length. Get a cruise ship contract in 1–2 years, or train for 5+ years to compete at the highest level. Your timeline, your goals.

What makes EAC different

Accepted specialties

Handstands, Contortion, Partner Acrobatics — hand-to-hand, hand vaulting, statue — Banquine, and Aerial Straps.

Other disciplines are considered case-by-case if quality coaching can be arranged. EAC won’t accept students it can’t teach well — contact the team to discuss.
