Circus Acrobatics 11AM-11:50AM

Class Description

Circus Acrobatics are great for students who love to challenge their bodies in an unconventional way, and in a cooperative atmosphere rather than competitive activities like team sports. It's fantastic for developing proprioception (your body's orientation to itself) and the vestibular system (your body's orientation in space). Circus Acrobatics also rely heavily on clear communication, respecting each others' boundaries, and building trust. Class starts with Stretches, Tumbling, Headstands, and Handstands, which are designed to improve their strength, coordination, balance, and awareness. After that, we will move on to solo skills: juggling and balance boards. Depending on their comfort level with each other, we may start Partnered Acrobatics and Acroyoga, where they will learn to carry each others' weight! This is where cooperation, communication, and trust are paramount. Coach Steve is a trained PE teacher with 24 years of teaching experience, and completed Circus Arts Instructor Training in August 2022.
