ABOUT THIS CLASS
Circtastics combines the creativity of circus with the technique of acrobatics, giving students the opportunity to develop a unique blend of skills in one exciting class.
Throughout the programme, students train across aerial silks, lyra, acrobatics, partner work and circus choreography, building strength, flexibility, coordination and performance skills in a supportive environment. By combining both disciplines, students become confident, versatile performers while developing excellent body control, resilience and teamwork.
Classes are designed to challenge every student at their own level, encouraging creativity, safe progression and personal achievement while preparing students for performances and exciting academy opportunities.
With two weekly class options following the same curriculum, families can choose the session that best suits their schedule, subject to availability.
