Six Circus Thursdays include exploration and practice, juggling, tumbling, unicycle, circus games, and a joyful circus community! In this 90-minute after-school session, students have the opportunity to learn and practice a variety of circus skills. Each class begins with a rigorous warm-up, game, or obstacle course. The students then rotate through a series of 'circus learning stations', including balance (tightwire, stilt walking, rola-bola, rolling globes, pedalo, unicycling), mat tumbling, juggling, and aerial arts. Students work individually and in small groups to build on previously learned skills. There will be a 10-15 min 'choice time' in each class to practice and improve on ‘specialty’ skills. The class is limited to 10 students.
Covid Precautions in place, masks required.
Please note * students must have had circus instruction or gymnastics previously* Potential opportunities to perform within the community.
BerkCirque also offers Circus Birthday Parties, Artists in Residence programs, and Aerial Yoga Classes and Training.

BerkCirque has been bringing Circus Arts to families in the Berkshire-Taconic Region for more than 25 years! Circus Arts are a great way for people to learn artistic, athletic, and social skills in a fun and non-competitive environment. Tumbling, balancing, juggling, clowning, unicycling, aerial arts, and walking a tight wire are just a few skills that are taught in this focused form of free expression. Circus Arts are a disciplined form of movement that is equally appealing to people of ALL ages and abilities! This training improves spatial awareness, coordination, self-esteem, physical fitness, and trust. Working to meet goals is highly satisfying; everyone is part of a creative process when they join together to develop a circus. Our circus performances come to life when each member is appreciated for what they bring out of a unique self, blended with the community.
