This course is aimed at young people aged 11-14 and is the follow-up course to the “Circus acro for children” course. It is not necessary to attend the preliminary course to participate.
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.
Clothing: Comfortable sportswear. Turntäppeli or barefoot. In the winter months we recommend long training clothes for before and after the course. Young people 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 is constantly learning new things in many courses and in exchanges with other circus enthusiasts. Maja Ravaioli has been teaching juggling/unicycling since 2009 and later also handstand/partner acrobatics for students at the ASVZ (Academic Sports Association 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 Zurich since 2018.
