our classes
Our regular classes include Circus Foundations, Umbrella Circus, CircusFit, Circus Extensions and our newest additions, Tadpole Circus and Circus Explorers.
CIRCUS FOUNDATIONS
Our Circus Foundations program teaches kids aged 6+ the core circus skills of juggling, twirling, climbing, hanging, tumbling and balancing in readiness for circus performance.
Classes are run on Saturday during the school term in the Ken Roberts Pavilion at the Ipswich Showgrounds.
UMBRELLA CIRCUS
Our Umbrella Circus program has been specially designed by occupational therapists, circus trainers and psychologists to meet the needs of kids who are on the Autism Spectrum or who have special abilities.
Classes are run on Saturday mornings during the school term in the Ken Roberts Pavilion at the Ipswich Showgrounds.
CIRCUSFIT
Circusfit! Designed for ages 4 and over. This program offers a unique pathway to fitness for both the young and young at heart. Proudly supported by Brothers Leagues Club Ipswich, Circus Fit offers dynamic, all inclusive, circus inspired exercises.
Classes are run on Thursday afternoons during the school term in the Ken Roberts Pavilion at the Ipswich Showgrounds.
CIRCUS EXTENSIONS
The Extensions Program is designed for students with prior circus experience who are ready to build on their existing skills and take them to a more advanced level.
The class focuses on refining technique, increasing strength and flexibility, and mastering more complex movements across various circus disciplines.
This program is ideal for those who are committed to deepening their practice and are prepared for the physical and creative challenges of higher-level circus training.
Prerequisites: prior experience in circus, gymnastics or similar. Please email to discuss readiness for this class.
TADPOLE CIRCUS
Our Tadpole Circus program is for Tadpoles, aged up to 4 years, and their big frogs (aka their adult caregiver). While age is a helpful guide, we recommend this class for those ready to join in a more structured circus session.
This 45-minute class keeps our little circus stars moving, laughing, and learning from start to finish! Along the way, they’ll explore the foundations of circus safety while discovering the fun of spinning hula hoops, tumbling on mats, juggling scarves and balls, climbing skills, balancing on chairs, and so much more.
Classes run on Monday and Saturday mornings.
Class example format:
- Singing our hello song and warming up
- obstacle course
- working as a team
- check out and saying bye.
Circus Explorers
Our Circus Explorers is a playful program designed especially for curious crawlers and toddlers just finding their feet. Enrolment is based on developmental stage rather than age, making it perfect for little ones who love to move and explore in their own way!
This play based program, designed by circus trainers and early educators, lets busy young people and their carers try new activities while keeping little active brains and bodies interested!
Classes run on Monday mornings.
