Keen to try something new? Want to get some exercise, have some fun and meet some interesting people while you’re doing it? As Simon Hunt, 21, of the Circa Training Centre puts it, circus classes are the answer!
“In circus classes, you make a new friend, and then lift him in the air, stand on him, counter-balance them in a human pyramid, or learn partner combinations when juggling with them.”
With experienced trainers, professional facilities and a desire to have fun, the Circa Training Centre believes that interaction is just as important as the training itself.
The Circa Training Centre offers circus classes for all ages and multiple skill levels. Adults can join a Circus Mix class with aerials, handstands and tumbling, they could learn to hula hoop or balance in Circus Tricks, or improve their health in Circus Fitness.
In the Circus Mix class experience everything - from acrobatics to aerials, from tumbling to juggling. It's an encouraging, creative environment that’s challenging and loads of fun. All you need to bring is a reasonable level of fitness, a capacity for laughter and a readiness to explore.
Circus Fitness is an energetic and high intensity class, perfect for those who want less of the traditional gym experience and more of the dynamic circus environment. You get a great workout focusing on core strength, cardio fitness and flexibility.
Flirt with gravity in the Circus Aerials class, as Circa's incredible trainers introduce you to aerial disciplines including trapeze, tissue, lyra and cloudswing.
Get tricky with it! The Circus Tricks class is great for developing your favourite physical skills. With Hula Hoops, you’ll learn how to spin a hoop around your waist, twirl it in your hands and other fun hoopy tricks. At Handstands & Acrobalance, you’ll stand on your hands and stand on each other.
The Circa Training Centre also offers classes for children and young people. Circus classes engage children and young people with trapeze, acrobatics, tightwire, juggling and more. Classes are available from ages 3 to 15 years, and advanced performance programs including Circa Zoo and Zoolings are available for 10 to 21 year olds.
