About Adult Classes

ABOUT ADULT CLASSES

​​

Adult circus classes focus on individual skills, so you can choose what you’d like to train and progress at your own pace. Most classes are 1.5 hours long.

​

You don’t need a background in gymnastics, dance, or elite fitness to start. Our beginner classes are designed to teach the fundamentals safely, while gradually building strength, flexibility, and confidence.

​​

Start with TRY IT ALL

If you’re new to circus, we strongly recommend beginning with Try It All, our introductory programme.

 

Try It All gives you a supported introduction to:

​

  • Aerial skills: trapeze, silks, aerial hoop (lyra)​

  • Ground-based skills: tumbling, hand balancing, partnered acrobatics (adagio), juggling

 

This course runs in four-week blocks and helps you discover which skills you enjoy most before moving into beginner classes. Your trainer will also help guide your next steps.

​

Strength & Flexibility Classes

These classes support your circus training and can be taken on their own or alongside skill classes. All are 1-hour classes.

​​

  • Get Strong: A fitness-based class using circus techniques to build strength, cardio, and flexibility. A great option if you want to progress faster — or if you’re looking for a fun alternative to the gym.

​

  • Get Bendy: A flexibility-focused class designed to improve range of motion, prevent injury, and support skill development.

​​

  • Remedial Bendiness (for the Chronically Inflexible): A gentle, supportive stretching class for those of us who are stiff, creaky, or proudly unbendy. Expect adaptive guidance, safe stretching, and a good dose of humour — all in the company of fellow non-contortionists.


(If you’re secretly very bendy, we may suggest one of the other flexibility classes instead.)

How Enrolment Works

Adult classes run on a casual basis, so you can start at any time during the year.

​

  • Book each class online at least 3 hours before it begins

  • Classes are open to ages 16 years and up.

 

What to Wear

Wear comfortable, stretchy, and ideally fitted clothing. Shorts or tights with a T-shirt or singlet work well.

 

We recommend you bring:

  • Longer tights or socks and a long-sleeve top (useful for aerials)

  • An extra warm layer for winter sessions

 

Classes are done barefoot or in socks.

 

For safety:

  • No zips, buttons, or safety pins

  • Remove loose hanging jewellery (and check with your trainer)

  • Tie back long hair
