Why Circus?

I know what you're thinking, why Circus classes? Kids are involved in so many activities already, why add another one to the mix?

Well, our Circus classes are not only fun, they also increase overall strength and flexibility, improve coordination and cognitive skills, and develop spatial awareness... all very important for growing bodies! 

Our unique program is a great starting point for preschool kids who are interested in gymnastics, dance, acrobatics and aerial arts. 

Did you know...?

1. Forward rolls help with reading! 

The upside down motion leads to better eye tracking development and strength. Eye tracking is crucial when learning to read. Forward rolls are also a great bilateral coordination activity. Bilateral coordination is when you are using both sides of the body to accomplish a task. E.g. pushing a cart, climbing stairs or holding paper in one hand and using scissors in the other.

2. Balancing helps with concentration!

Teaching a child good balance at an early age will set them up for better body awareness, coordination and concentration. When kids stabilise themselves from an unstable position, they learn how to focus faster and more efficiently, leading to better concentration.

3. Handstands make kids happy!

Handstands not only increase shoulder, arm, and upper back strength plus improve balancing abilities, they also make you feel happy! Being upside down leads to increased blood flow to the brain which has an energising yet calming effect, making kids feel happy.
