Why should your kid try our circus classes?
As a kid I flitted from hobby to hobby. Nothing held my interest for very long. When I discovered
pole and aerial at 18, I finally knew what it felt like to have a passion. I wish I’d discovered it
sooner.
Here’s why your kids should give our circus classes a go.
They’re fun
I love sharing my skill set with the children in our classes because aerial makes me feel like a kid again. Our classes start with a game to get their minds and bodies ready whilst having a few giggles. The fun really starts when we get onto the equipment. We offer variations of moves so that they can do what feels best, and the most fun, for them.
The instructors
We have a great team of kids instructors. Their kind smiles and calm demeanors will put your child at ease. They all have lots of experience in the circus arts and working with children. They share their varying skill sets with each other so that they can be the best possible team to support your child.
Keeps them fit and healthy
Our classes consist of a fun game to get the kids moving before warming up the rest of the body. The children then take it in turns to have a go at the taught move. Depending on the class, they will either try hoop and silks or hoop and pole. All these disciplines help to build strength, flexibility and endurance. They are a super fun way to get active and stay fit and healthy. We finish the class with a cool down so that their bodies and minds know that it is time to relax.
Teaches coordination
I found dance classes as a kid tricky because I lacked the coordination to keep up with the class. The great thing about aerial is that your little one can learn at their own pace. It’s just them on the equipment and the instructor will guide them through the trick. We always recap
and build on tricks so they can continue to improve their coordination and awareness of their body.
Builds resilience
There are some tricks in aerial and pole that take some practice to achieve. We teach in a way that offers stepping stones to achieve the goal but doesn’t leave anyone feeling disheartened because they’ve also achieved a new shape and have something to strive for in the next session.
