Explore Circus for Kids Aged 9–12 in Christchurch
Circus Try-It-All Kids (9–12 years) is a fun and supportive circus class for children who already have some circus experience and are ready to build their skills, try new challenges and grow their confidence.
From aerials to ground-based circus skills, students have opportunities to explore different disciplines, develop their physical and creative abilities and discover what they enjoy most about circus.
What to expect
Classes explore a variety of aerial and ground-based circus skills, with activities designed to challenge students while allowing them to continue progressing at their own pace.
Students may explore:
- Aerial skills – developing strength, coordination, control and confidence on circus apparatus
- Ground-based circus – building balance, physical awareness and movement skills
- New challenges – extending existing skills and working towards new tricks and movements
- Creative exploration – finding individual ways to use circus skills and express ideas through movement
- Teamwork – learning alongside others, sharing skills and supporting each other’s progress
The variety of circus disciplines means students can continue to try new things while building a broader range of circus skills.
Building confidence through circus
Circus provides children with opportunities to develop strength, coordination, balance, creativity, problem-solving and confidence.
As students learn new skills and take on challenges, they can develop a stronger understanding of what their bodies can do and celebrate their progress along the way.
Working together is also an important part of the experience. Students are encouraged to support one another, share the space and learn as part of a positive circus community.
