ENROLMENT FORMS
Dream BIG! Circus Workshops Explained
Dream BIG! Circus workshops are a series of circus workshops designed for children and adults, to teach them the various circus skills available, as well as working on goal setting, self discipline, self confidence and more... Super fun and age appropriate.
Currently there are 6 workshops on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday being run by primarily by Sophie McGrath, with guest teachers, and student teachers which vary over the year to give the program a more in-depth look into various disciplines, depending what the teachers strengths are.
We are super excited to offer a new littlies class in term 3!!
Circus LOVE! - MONDAY & THURSDAYS at 10.30 - 12.30pm
An adult class for those who have a passion for circus or who want to learn, this is a skill share class, with no trainer as such, but a space where 18+ ladies can come and skill share, learn and grow in the various circus arts from aerial to hula hoop, jugging, and many other circus disciplines. Children and babies are welcome to be present whist you train :) ($15 a class, full term only).
LITTLE CYCLONE CIRCUS - MONDAY AND THURSDAY 3.45pm - 4.45pm
Hosted by one of our local Circus practitioners, with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the circus industry, Juzi (Justine Schlicht).
This will be open to kids 6 months to 6 years old. With a mix of obstacle courses, basic circus skills, balance, rolling, forward rolls, falling, mini-tramp, games, making music, singing and dancing! This will be lots of fun for both child and parent.
We are going to run a taster course of 4 weeks to gauge interest and whether Mondays works for people interested, and if there is enough interest the classes will continue with another 4 block class at the end of term and then on into the year.. ($15 )
Dream BIG! Circus 2 - Tuesday at 3.45 - 5pm
Taught by Sophie and Adrienne, this class is for 7 year olds to 9 year olds. It offers multiple circus disciplines from Aerial to Acrobalance, acrobatics, juggling, role bola, unicycle, stilt walking, poi, staff, diablo, flower stick, spinning plates, and more... The aim is to teach the children circus skills, whilst building their confidence, getting them to set their own achievable goals, and let their own personal creativity flow, there is no rigid structure week to week (although obviously there are still rules for safety), as we are aiming to create a space for circus/physical creative play, that is partially child / interest led. ($17.50 full term only, no one off Classes)
Dream BIG! Show Class
Show class is a class designed for children who want to perform their skills, and work at presentation of individual skills and group skills.

Being a part of this class may have extra costs for the parents including costume costs, and extra time needed I.e. for weekend performances, also students and parents need to be fully aware that the aim of this class is to perform in front of other people, including being photographed and videoed whist performing, for use of promotions for future circus shows and events, and to critique ones own performance skills thus learning and growing.
