Performance Track and Mastery Prep are parallel paths — not sequential. Choose based on your commitment level.
All programs use the same audition criteria. Submit a video audition including the following:
Name, age, why you're applying, and your goals.
3-minute act in your chosen discipline, filmed in a single continuous fixed-camera take.
Handstands · Contortion · Partner Acrobatics (hand-to-hand, hand vaulting, statue) · Banquine · Aerial Straps
Other disciplines considered case-by-case if quality coaching can be arranged — email info@easternacrobatics.com to discuss.
Video audition only. Rolling admission — no fixed deadline.
