Help Esh Help Our Staff during COVID-19

As with many businesses, Esh is closed to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our community. We made the tough but necessary decision to voluntarily close our doors on Friday March 13th, and with current local and state mandates ordering all non-essential businesses to remain closed, we are unsure when we will be able to reopen. We are dedicated to continuing to support our staff to the best of our ability while we're closed. This includes continuing to pay those staff members who depend upon Esh for a significant portion of their livelihood through at least the month of April. We have been overwhelmed and touched by the support of our community during this time. Many of you have asked how you can support Esh's teachers in the face of this closure. Here are some ways to help: 1. If you are able, please donate. We are facing a massive loss of income from cancelled classes and programs. Any amount helps, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 2. Join us for online classes! Students who were enrolled for Spring Session classes can use their remaining class credits to take online classes. And everyone else is welcome to sign up too! Classes operate on a drop-in basis, meaning you sign up for classes individually. Check out our online class schedule and sign up here: https://www.amilia.com/store/en/eshcircusarts/shop/programs/calendar/52191 We look forward to seeing your faces in the coming days as we connect through circus online. Although we don’t know when we will be able to re-open the studio, please know that we WILL re-open, and we will be so freaking excited to celebrate with all of you when we do! We will keep you updated in the coming days and weeks as we have a better sense of when we might be able to resume normal operations. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you - our strong, tremendous community. We feel uplifted by your energy and support, and are so grateful for each of you. With love, Ellen, Roger, and the team at Esh
