Voyages in Circus (Ages 5-7)

Our Voyages in Circus class focuses on skill building, classroom etiquette and fun for ages 5-7 who have instructor permission to join. This is a novice level class for students not yet old enough for Youth Circus 101 or 201 that focuses on finishing the requirements needed to move onto our Youth Circus 101 or 201 classes while reviewing previous knowledge and building on skills at a younger age level and pace.

Students will learn what it means to work together with others, follow directions in class, and work safely on circus equipment. The class will be split between learning circus skills and games/open play with circus equipment. Students will be challenged as they work on novice level circus vocabulary, do obstacle courses, and play games to encourage creative expression and cooperation. Voyages in Circus aims to prepare kids ages 5-7 for the beginning of our skill and progression focused youth program, so they are ready to join Youth Circus 101 (ages 7-12) or Youth Circus 201 (ages 7-12) in the future.

Every class will consist of a warm-up, skill building, and cool down. Instructors will work with students on completing the requirements for moving up to another class level. Students will alternate learning fabric and trapeze each week and focus on a few ground skills over the session. These skills could include tightwire, mini trampoline, juggling, tumbling and acrobatics, and human pyramids. We will focus on aerials and ground skills that will be presented at the end of the session. All classes at SHOW focus on vocabulary retention, interpersonal life skills, and having fun in a safe environment.

For children looking to learn something new and exciting, the circus is a non-competitive, artistic, fun and safe discipline! All classes at SHOW focus on vocabulary retention, interpersonal life skills, and having fun in a safe environment. Circus is a great way to increase self-esteem, have fun, get in shape, improve focus and learn skills that will translate into every aspect of your child’s life. Circus for Fun, Circus for Life.
