Starting tumbling and/or contortion en>fr fr>en

Ok I've been watching a lot of cirque du soleil dvds lately and I've decided to learn tumbling and contortion if possible. I'm 22 so I know that's kind of old to start but I really want to try. Anyway, I live in NYC and I'm looking at several studios:
1. NYC Elite (2 classes a week for beginners for 1 1/2 hours each)
2. Chelsea Piers (1 class a week for beginners for 1 1/2 hours)
3. NY Circus Arts (a 7 week course with one class a week for two hours)
Has anyone taken classes at any of these? Which do you think is the best?
I think I'm on my own for the contortion but if anyone could give me advice on how to start doing that I would be grateful!

Thanks!

Hi! I haven't taken any of these classes, but if I were you, I would choose the NYC Elite. I'm a gymnast, and I really don't think that 1 class a week will cut it. I don't know anything about the gym, but just based on the classes I'd choose that. :)

The only one I have any familiarity with is Chelsea Piers. They have the biggest adult gymnastics program in the country. If I get into NYU I would love to get back into gymnastics there.
