This winter break, Circa Academy is offering a range of workshops for all ages and experience levels. Young people can take part in aerial and acrobatics training, while current Academy participants can join in regular opening training sessions. For anyone 16yrs + and new to the world of circus who want to give aerials a try, we are offering an Introduction to Aerials Workshop.
Youth Holiday Program
A Day at the Circus (Ages 5 – 13 years)
Dive into the world of circus fun at programs designed with age-appropriate instruction for ages 5–8 and 9–13!
In these high-energy workshops, participants will explore both acrobatic, aerial, and circus manipulation skills, learning rolls, jumps, balances, hangs, mounts, positions, and dynamic sequences, along with introductory juggling and hula hoop skills. Younger participants(5–8) will build strong foundations through playful movement, developing strength, flexibility, coordination, and body awareness in a supportive and imaginative environment. Older students (9–13) will build on core techniques with more challenging skills and combinations, including more advanced manipulation skills, deepening their strength, control, confidence, and performance quality both in the air and on the ground.
With a focus on safe skill progression and active learning, this workshop blends fitness, creativity, and fun!
Parents can choose from a half-day session, a full-day experience, or discounted 3-day bundle options for our youth circus workshops, depending on what best suits their schedule and interest.
