Dream BIG! Circus Workshops Explained
We have classes from Monday to Wednesday, primarily taught by Sophie McGrath with varying guest and student trainers throughout the year.
All classes are full term only, no one off classes. Trial classes are $25.
Our insurance fee, paid only once a year, is $35 for the full year, this is payable whether you stay for one term or for 4 and is a flat rate due at the beginning of the year or whenever in the year you join circus, but not applicable to Little Cyclone Circus students.
Please note, our aerial rig is outside so if it is raining the class will still be on, but for that week, students will be given exercises to do in the hall, i.e. acro balance, conditioning training, handstand training, training games etc.
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.

This is a skill share class, with no trainer as such, as you are free to come and work on your own level of skills, creating a space where women can come and skill share, learn and grow in the various circus arts from aerial to hula hoop, jugging, and many other circus disciplines. Young children and babies are welcome to be present whilst you train.
