Circus Skills Classes in Leeds — Beginners to Advanced

Circus classes for beginners and improvers with experienced, friendly teachers.

BEGINNER FRIENDLY

New to circus? Our beginner classes are a friendly, no-pressure place to start. You’ll learn the basics — acrobatics, juggling, aerial silks or hoop — with instructors who take it step by step and build your strength and confidence as you go. No experience needed. Come and give it a try.

TRAINED PERFORMERS

Already train? Our developer classes go further — advanced aerial, hand balancing and object manipulation — with instructors who’ll push you and give you proper feedback. Somewhere to keep progressing between shows.

Come and train with us

You’ll meet other circus people too — our classes are as much about the community as the skills. Check the timetable and book a class, or get in touch if you’re not sure where to start.
