KIDS CLASSES

Mini-circus (2-5 years)

These classes introduce children aged aged 2-5 years old to the fun and excitement of circus and acrobatics. Through playful exercises, children will develop basic motor skills, coordination, and body awareness while engaging in age-appropriate circus-themed games and activities.

 

Parents are encouraged (but not required) to join in, fostering bonds and encouraging confidence in their little ones as they explore new activities together.

Hoop, silks and hammock (6-8 years)

This course introduces children to the fun and excitement of aerial arts, including hoop, silks and hammock. Children will learn basic skills such as climbing and performing solo as well as duo positions. The focus is on developing confidence and creativity.

Each week the kids will discover a different apparatus, and use the skills they learned on the previous week to apply to the newest discipline.

These classes are open to kids aged 6-12, with no prior experience needed. When and if the kids reach a more advanced level or want to focus on a specific discipline they are also welcome in our adult classes.

Flying Trapeze (5 years +)

Does your child love heights and wants to fly? This class is for kids aged 5 and older. Whether it's their first time or they're a regular, this class is for them. We will adapt our coaching to their level of progression.

 

There will be no catch in the kids classes to allow them to progress in their movements before adding the catching element.

Aerial Silks (9 years +)

This class allows children to start specializing on the apparatus of their choice, but is still open to beginners! 

Participants will learn the basic locks and knots of aerial silks: the foot-lock, the hip-key, as well as simple poses you can achieve without climbing. There will be some strength conditioning which will eventually allow you to climb and successfully invert. These skills will be needed to progress to the more advanced knots and keys taught in the next level.

Aerial Hoop (9 years +)

This class allows children to start specializing on the apparatus of their choice, but is still open to beginners! 

In this level, the hoops are set to the lowest height and you will learn to do basic shapes on the bottom bar and in the hoop. Basic spins will also be shown. Lastly, we will do some strength conditioning to build the strength that will eventually allow you to climb on the hoop at higher heights.
