Circus acro for children of different ages

This course is aimed at children aged 4-10 years and is a new form of teaching that aims to promote Zirkusquartier: 20 children of different ages are accompanied by two trainers on their joint journey of discovery through the various circus disciplines. The younger children benefit from the experience and strength of the older ones and the older ones improve their own skills by helping the younger ones. No one will be excluded from a higher level because of their age and no one will be stopped in their development. The group starts together, then continues to work at different levels and comes back together to exchange ideas and finish. Many exciting acrobatic forms are only possible with small and larger people. For example, a pyramid requires small, light but also larger, stronger children. In this way, the different ages complement each other and can achieve more together than in age-segregated classes.

• The little ones benefit from the big ones.
• The older children help the younger ones and learn to be considerate.
• There is no obvious competition.
• The entire acrobatic repertoire is available at all times.
• The promotion of high-performing participants takes place almost automatically.
• The community among the participants is strengthened.

We playfully develop strength, coordination and flexibility and practise the basic acrobatic figures on the floor – rolls, wheels, headstands and handstands. The joy of movement and creativity in doing things together are just as important as the precise teaching of the basics. The children refine their self-awareness and strengthen their self-confidence: the best preparation for any further art of movement!

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.
