An introduction to the amazing world of Cirque!

In the air we'll be learning aerial silks, aerial hoop and trapeze. Moving on to the floor you'll learn some acro dance choreography to link your new aerial skills, including basic gymnastic floor work. At our full day workshops you will put together a short routine to perform to parents at the end of the day.

Absolutely no experience is necessary for these workshops. Participants will be grouped by according to their background in aerial, dance and gymnastics, so we can teach newcomers the basics and also get experienced youngsters doing some more interesting drops, flips and tumbles. Numbers are limited so everyone will get lots of attention specific to their strengths and weaknesses.

These workshops are recommended for girls and boys aged 8-16. Younger students please contact us directly to discuss.

We currently have no dates for these sessions due to lockdown.

Lunch: Participants coming for a full day workshop need to bring a packed lunch and a drink. We can refill waterbottles, and they can visit The Barre during lunchtime for crisps, chocolate, flapjack, biscuits, sweets and soft drinks if you wish to send a small amount of money.

What to wear:Long trousers such a leggings or joggers are essential. Shorts are not appropriate for aerial work as the backs of the knees will get very sore. For silks the waist and armpits must be covered. A t-shirt which can be tucked in, or a leotard is ideal. Please avoid shiny material as it will be slippery against the silks. Socks for dance/stretch, barefeet for silks.
