We have classes from Monday to Wednesday, primarily taught by Sophie with varying guest and student trainers throughout the year.

A bit about Audrey....
Since I was 4yrs old I have been training gymnastics both recreationally and competitively, until 14yrs old, when I also began cheerleading -incorporating group stunts and dance- as well as taking part in modern, contemporary, jazz, hip-hop, and Latin dance throughout my teenage-adulthood years. I have found great joy and fulfilment in teaching children aged 4-12yrs gymnastics, cheerleading, and dance skills for the years following my schooling, while simultaneously completing a Diploma of Health Science in Nutrition. Now I am a mother to a lovely 2-year-old and have found great peace in being a part of the Circus Love adults’ class, as well as accompanying my son in the Little Cyclones class. I am passionate about movement and believe it to be a wonderful medicine for all ages, I have grown to really appreciate the way circus nurtures ours and our children’s needs to move in a gentle yet free way. I love interacting and sharing with children and find always they have a valuable way of learning that reminds myself and many others of how interesting and special everything in this world is.
We have classes from Monday to Wednesday, primarily taught by Sophie with varying guest and student trainers throughout the year.
