Did you know that we offer sessions that are SEND friendly on Monday evenings❓️

Our next sessions are on:

🗓️ MONDAY THE 23rd OF FEBRUARY

Both classes have been specifically designed for people with SEN who want the chance to improve their aerial journey. Being body aware and strong is super important for any physical activity, but for circus it can make the difference between achieving the move and not! Starting with a warm up this class will lead you through movements under the bar, on top and of course inside it, teaching you dynamic tricks and static poses in a safe environment.
