ABOUT THIS CLASS
Dance Cirque is an exciting circus arts programme where students discover a wide variety of circus disciplines while developing confidence, coordination, creativity and performance skills.
Throughout the programme, students learn aerial skills on silks and lyra, alongside exciting prop manipulation including juggling, hula hoop, diabolo, yo-yo, ribbon, skipping, plate spinning and balloon modelling. Students also learn circus-inspired choreography, combining their skills into engaging performances that develop musicality, stage presence and teamwork.
Every class encourages students to challenge themselves, celebrate progress and support one another in a safe, inclusive environment. Whether they're performing tricks, mastering new props or creating routines, students develop resilience, creativity and confidence that extends far beyond the studio.
With two weekly class options following the same curriculum, families can choose the session that best suits their schedule, subject to availability.
