Our classes in circus skills are a great way to improve motor skills, balance, coordination, flexibility and strength.
This class also develops confidence, discipline and team work in a non-competitive and fun environment.
This age group focuses on introducing children to circus skills, improving their social skills, and physical and spatial awareness, through games, groups warm up and structured skills sessions.
Students will participate in a variety of circus disciplines throughout the term. Every week they will cover acrobatics and another discipline to give them the foundations in strength, body awareness, coordination and technique to achieve at all disciplines as they progress.
Additional disciplines vary from term to term, and over the year they will cover a wide variety including: trapeze, aerial hoop, tumbling, handstands, pyramids, juggling, hula hoops, silks, rope, Chinese pole and object balancing.
Participating students have several performance opportunities throughout the year giving them an opportunity to develop confidence, team-work, creativity and a huge sense of achievement.
All our activities take place in a safe environment with professional tutors.
Children are advised to wear comfortable clothing that they can move easily in that covers most of the skin, and to bring a water bottle and appropriate snacks for break time. Please ensure they remove any jewellery before class.
Classes are booked for a 5 – 7 week block following school half-terms.
