Our youngest aspiring circus artists develop basic coordination, balance, flexibility and motor skills through playful exposure to gymnastic skills designed to help with cartwheels, back bends, and early stages of hand stands. Obstacle courses are a highlight of the class. Little do they know the exciting challenges are designed to develop awareness of their body in space which helps tremendously as they are introduced to basic balancing on the static trapeze and aerial silks. Every class provides an opportunity to practice at least one skill on the trapeze or silk. Students learn moves on a knotted silk for added safety and security. Practicing elementary juggling skills and learning goofy clowning skits add to the circus experience. No prior experience is required.
(No class Sept. 3-5, 11/21-11/25 & 11/12 & 11/13)
