This course is aimed at children aged 8-10 years and is the follow-up course to the “Circus Durch-Starter” course. It is not necessary to attend the preliminary course to participate.
We discover the possibilities of our bodies in a playful and age-appropriate way and train dexterity, body tension, flexibility and strength. This allows us to venture into increasingly complex movement sequences. We do somersaults and headstands, do cartwheels, balance, build human pyramids, practise handstands and much more. Together we deepen our work on various circus disciplines. The focus is on having fun and enjoying exercise and working on your coordination and dexterity.
Clothing: Comfortable sportswear. Turntäppeli or barefoot. In the winter months, we recommend long training clothes for before and after the course. Children with long hair should have a hair tie with them.
Maja Ravaioli
Originally a sports enthusiast, Maja Ravaioli discovered the joy of movement and skill at the age of ten. She started out with a unicycle and juggling balls, then began doing cartwheels, standing on her hands and became enthusiastic about partner acrobatics. Since her student days at the University of Zurich, she has regularly attended various open training sessions and continues to learn new things in many courses and through exchanges with other circus enthusiasts.
Maja Ravaioli has been teaching juggling/unicycling since 2009, initially only juggling/unicycling, and later also handstand/partner acrobatics for students at the ASVZ (Academic Sports Association of Zurich).
From 2010 to 2022, she taught acrobatics, unicycling and juggling at the Marotte circus school. She has also been offering workshops at juggling and acrobatics conventions for many years. She has been running children’s courses at Zirkusquartier Zürich since 2018.
