<div></div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">OUR CIRCUS DISCIPLINES</span></div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Juggling class  (Mondays)<br />
</b>(19.09 | 26.09 | 03.10 | 10.10 |  17.10 | 31.10 | 7.11 | 14.11 |  21.11 |  28.11 |  5.12 |  12.12 |)   (10.12)   (17.12)</span></span><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Juggling is a surprisingly tough workout, and is great for developing coordination.</span></strong></div>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There have also been numerous studies on the benefits to the brain of learning to juggle. And it’s a pretty awesome party trick!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you’ve mastered the basics, juggling with a partner and learning passing tricks is great fun.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We can teach you to juggle balls, clubs, rings, flower-stick and much more.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Don’t worry if you don’t pick it up as quickly as someone else does – we all progress at our own pace and it just means you’re exercising your brain more!</span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Trapeze (Tuesdays)<br />
</b>(20.09 | 27.09 | 4.10 | 11.10 | 18.10 | 1.11 | 8.11 | 15.11 | 22.11 | 29.11 | 6.12 | 13.12)   (10.12)  (17.12)</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you’ve never tried aerial arts before then we’d recommend trapeze as a great starting point for building the strength that aerials require. The bar gives you a place to stop for a rest, and there are some fun moves we can try with the ropes too!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Don’t let the fear of falling keep you from flying”</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The two broad disciplines in trapeze are swinging and static. Our classes are in a form of static trapeze, which means we let the trapeze hang straight down without swinging on it.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Our classes focus on making shapes on the equipment and moving through sequences, gradually building your skills as you get stronger and more confident.</span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Handstand/Circus Acrobatics   (Tuesdays)<br />
</b>(20.09 | 27.09 | 4.10 | 11.10 | 18.10 | 1.11 | 8.11 | 15.11 | 22.11 | 29.11 | 6.12 | 13.12)  (10.12)   (17.12)<br />
</span><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Think it would be cool to be able to do a handstand? Or can you already do one but want to improve your technique or try out new shapes? We’re here to help!   </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Turn your world upside down<br />
</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you know…</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Not only does standing on your hands build core and upper body strength, it also stimulates your endocrine system by<br />
increasing blood flow to your head. This helps to boost your metabolism as well as reducing stress hormones. It can also improve your<br />
proprioception leading to better balance and spatial perception… an all-round win!</span></strong></p>
