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.
