Starting this September we’ll be running a brand new advanced class for students who are looking for more opportunities to develop themselves as young circus performers.
In this new class students will focus on their favourite circus skills, developing and refining technique. They’ll learn how to train effectively and independently and have the opportunity to create and perform solo and/or group routines.
The class is suitable for 11-18 year olds who want to get serious about circus, and are committed to developing their circus and performance skills.
Students should:
Some background or experience in circus, gymnastics or dance is helpful but not necessary and we recommend that you attend at least one other circus class during the week.
Places in this class will be limited. Book your place now.
If you have questions about suitability for this class please contact us.
Our new style of class – with increased autonomy and play – have been a big success. Students have been enjoying the freedom and self-directing nature of the classes and have been showing much higher levels of commitment and determination in learning circus skills.
Our students’ end of year showcase was a big upgrade from previous years and demonstrated the success of our more learner-focused class delivery.
In September we’ll be continuing to refine our approach and hope to see our students taking big strides as young circus artists.
Classes are now open for next term and spaces are filling up fast. As always, your first class is free if you’d like to come and try one!
The school year has begun and our term starts next week! We’ve had an excellent summer – shows, summer schools, we even had a holiday! – and now we’re really excited about getting back into the swing of things!
Wed 19th September is our first day back with sessions as follows:
8-12 year olds : 5.30pm – 6.30pm
13-19 year olds : 6.30pm – 8pm
Check out the class information for more details!
We’ve got three separate circus schools coming up for young people aged 8-19! Check ‘em out here!
