About

These classes is the perfect opportunity for participants to take their first steps – literally – into the exciting world of tightwire. You’ll be introduced to the fundamental skills of balance, focus, and control as you learn to walk, turn, and perform basic movements on a wire suspended above the ground.

Who it’s for

This 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.

Term 1 runs from 7 September – 13 December.
