Circus Steps
Ages 7-12
Circus Steps classes cover the basics in aerial, juggling, balance and acrobatics in a progressive and fun way. Each term, students perform a show of their skills for their peers, which builds team work and performance experience. Students also receive a badge each term to mark their progression through the levels. Classes are broken into 3 level groups.
Circus Steps Levels 1-4: Best suited to students aged 7-9.
Circus Steps Levels 5-8: Best suited to students who have had either circus or gymnastics experience or students aged 10+ starting circus for the first time.
Circus Steps Levels 9-12: Best suited to students who have had either circus or gymnastics training experience.
Circlets
Ages 5-7
Circlets classes follow roughly the same structure as Circus Steps, but with a shorter class and more of a focus on games and student-led learning.
Youth Aerial
Ages 8-17
(prior experience required)
Youth Aerial classes focus on learning skills on silks and static trapeze, along with the development of strength and flexibility to support progression on these apparatus. This is a physically demanding class open to those who have a strong interest in aerial and previous experience in circus, dance or gymnastics. For new students, please contact us at studio@circusstudio.net.au before enrolling.
Youth Fundamendtals
Ages 13-17
Youth Fundamentals is an extension of Circus Steps for teenagers continuing on or for those new to circus. Students are encouraged to follow their strengths and are taught higher level skills in a wide range of circus disciplines. There is a strong physical training component to this class.
