CirQuest kids' classes
CirQuest kids are confident, collaborative and creative! You'll love the unique balance of structure and freedom in our classes. Kids develop social problem-solving and communication skills while learning acrobatics, trapeze, trampolining, juggling, stiltwalking, unicycle and much much more. Our dedicated teachers are trained and mentored by our director, occupational therapist Isobel Lyall, to deliver the just-right challenge each child needs to become more focused, independent, motivated learners, and to discover their unique role in our growing circus family.

Challenge Circus for 6-9 year olds (level 4)
Challenge Circus classes are for kids whose foundation skills are consistently performed with great technique, to start to build on. Once these basic skills are practiced to the point of automaticity, we can start to increase the complexity of movement sequences in a safe and developmentally-appropriate progression for optimal learning. We recommend children start coming to circus twice a week once they are at this level, as more complex skills can be harder to remember after a whole week!
