About
The Cyr wheel is an aluminium circle first adapted and developed as a circus act by Daniel Cyr in 1996.
In this beginners course we will look at the foundations of the main categories of movement with a Cyr Wheel: manipulation, spinning, and rolling.
Starting by learning to get used to the wheel’s weight and it’s natural movement and momentum. Learn variations of movement patterns, manipulating the wheel across different axis. Work on the prerequisites of the classic “waltz” pattern, and starting to spin within the wheel.
Who it’s for
This course is the place to start if you have no or limited experience of circus, but want to learn from the basics, as well as developing your fitness and helping you gain confidence on specialist circus equipment. Once our teachers feel that a student is ready, you will be able to progress to Level 2.
What to wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing such as leggings or tracksuit bottoms, a T-shirt or vest, and clean indoor trainers.
