Circus acro for teenagers (11-14 years)

Dieser Kurs richtet sich an Jugendliche im Alter von 11-14 Jahren und ist der Folgekurs vom Kurs «Zirkus-Akro für Kinder». Für eine Teilnahme muss nicht zwingend der Vorkurs besucht werden.

We discover and expand the possibilities of our body and train dexterity, body tension, flexibility and strength. As a result, we progress to more and more complex movements and refine our technique: we practice different wheel variations, improve floor walks, train handstands, expand our repertoire of partner acrobatic figures and also try our hand at aerial silks or on the trampoline. Together, but also in smaller groups, we deepen our work on the various circus disciplines.

The desire to exercise with other young people, to improve through regular training and to try out new things is paramount.

Kleidung: Bequeme Sportkleidung. Turntäppeli oder barfuss. In den Wintermonaten empfehlen wir für vor und nach dem Kurs lange Trainingskleidung. Jugendliche mit langen Haaren sollten ein Haargummi dabeihaben.
