If you’ve been looking to switch up your workout routine or find the kids a new after-school hobby, consider signing up for a term of circus arts. Run by the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) in Prahran, these classes aren’t just clowning around but a serious exploration of circus’s creativity and athleticism in a fun, accessible environment. Holiday workshops for kids will also provide a joyful, fun-focused circus experience and keep them entertained over their school breaks. 

Whether you’ve always wanted to swing off a trapeze or finally master a handstand, NICA’s experienced trainers will gently coach you from whatever skill level you’re currently at using world-class facilities. Total beginners needn’t be shy either, with opportunities to have a go at circus’s many disciplines to find the one you love.

This four-week class series involves a mix of strength, conditioning, flexibility, and balance with an occasional touch of aerobic fitness. Participants will work on exercises that target the whole body with an emphasis on core stability to assist with progressing strength and mobility and help prevent injury. The class is suitable for anyone regardless of fitness level, training background or injury history and can be taken on its own or as a complement to other courses at NICA.
