What
to wear: What does each Circus Skill entail Acrobatic balancing - Participants work as a group to build human structures such as human pyramids. An age-old circus skill that is great fun to learn, highly interactive and always produces the most giggles from the day. Acrobatic tumbling - Within this session participants will learn basic acrobatic moves such as forward roles, cartwheels, handstands, and also do rebound moves off a trampette. A great energiser and introduction to one of the most dynamic performance skills. Diabolo - You’ve seen it on the street being performed by most street entertainers, now have a go yourself. Within this session you will learn how to spin, throw and catch a diabolo as well as lots of other neat tricks. An easy skill to master that can be practised at home and brought out to impress friends and family. Flying trapeze - Need we say any more! The ultimate circus skill, Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Charlie Dimmock and Sarah Jessica-Parker are all past masters! Now is your chance to swing from the flying trapeze with the greatest of ease! A high adrenaline activity that will have you buzzing for weeks afterwards. Juggling - Have you ever tried and failed to juggle? All of our teachers at the Circus Space are world class performers and teachers. Our juggling teachers are no exception, they can juggle up to nine balls and are experts in teaching participants how to juggle in a very short period of time. To learn three-ball juggling takes practice, our teachers will give you all the necessary skills to master this skill and as most participants find you may even be able to master it within this session. Static trapeze - One of the most popular skills at the Circus Space. Static trapeze is its namesake, a solo trapeze that does not swing, remaining static. Participants learn moves on and around the trapeze bar and ropes. Ultimately a graceful skill that to perform well requires strength, flexibility and most importantly good timing. Within this session participants will be taught the basic skills and will be amazed at the their own abilities. Stilt walking - Surprisingly one of the easiest skills to learn, or is it down to our expert teaching! Learning to walk on stilts is potentially a dangerous activity to learn. However with our expert teachers advice and lessons on how to fall safely this soon becomes a very enjoyable and rewarding skill that will always get you noticed in a crowd! Tight-wire walking - To walk the wire requires great balance, focus and concentration. One of the most challenging circus skills to master. Within this session you will be taught the techniques required to cross this thin wire. Can you make it all the way to the end? Is it as simple as going from A to B? Why not find out and sign up to this fantastic day of learning the greatest skills on Earth! |
