Powered by GoogleAmazing performers! Check out a show if you get the chance! My kids loved it.
Great venue to see underground physical performance art and music. Fantastic ceiling rigging and really high ceilings.
I started taking lyra classes last year and have been to 3 studios in Portland. A-Wol is my favorite. The instructors are excellent: very encouraging and they clearly have decades of experience as teachers. The space is also really nice, with well kept equipment and a great open gym setup too.
I have been taking classes at AWOL for 2 years now. The coaches are really great! The inside gym is kept clean and tidy all year round. In the summer they have a silks class in the park! This place is a wonderful community of people who enjoy circus arts. Highly recommend catching any performance or show they offer, you will be highly impressed and entertained!
My wife. Emi, has belonged to AWOL for years, and is a talented performer in her own right. Picture on Blue Silk. AWOL Dance Collective's performances are awesome! This showcase performance was the best of the best for AWOL If you can find tickets to ANY of their Portland OR performances, grab them and go!
