Circus skills workshops
Suitable for all the family

Circus arts provide an opportunity for children to learn a new skill. In doing so they are developing their patience, lateral thinking, self-esteem, and concentration as well as providing good opportunities for social interaction.

Ideal for birthday parties, youth clubs, schools.

Adaptable workshops, that meet the needs and abilities of the children and adults who take part.

As a qualified teacher I can provide circus skills in a fun and enjoyable way that leaves children wanting to learn more!

What are the benefits of circus arts?


My workshops are relaxed and fun, and provide an opportunity for children and adults to develop new skills. Circus arts such as juggling open up pathways in the brain, which increase ways that information reaches the brain.

Session times

Times are flexible, but in order for the pupils to get the most out of the lesson, we suggest the following times according to age groups.
• Nursery & reception: 30 - 45 minutes or as appropriate depending on the needs of the group
• 1 hour (1 - 2 Years)
• 1 hr 10 min (3 - 6 Years & Secondary)

Workshops Numbers

Up to 35 in one class (although this is negotiable)
Up to 140 pupils maximum in one day if Key Stage 1
Up to 175 pupils maximum in one day if Key Stage 2 and above

  The workshops

4-7 year olds will develop throwing and catching skills using scarves. These are slow and enjoyable for the children to use. I also introduce plate spinning, poi, diabolo, devil stick and pedal goes.

My aim is that children collaborate and develop.

8- 11 year olds

By 9-years old most children have the hand-eye co- ordination and concentration skills available to learn a variety of circus skills. My workshops introduce and develop these skills at a pace appropriate for your children’s needs.

After schools clubs/Play schemes/Youth clubs/Festivals

My circus skills workshops are excellent activities especially to get a group of children to bond together.

Children’s Parties

My workshops are an ideal opportunity for children to play together.

As an experienced schoolteacher I am able to manage children well and so take out some of the stress when you are organising a party. Contact me to discuss this further.

11- 15 to adults

Circus arts act as a stress buster.

I am able to teach the same skills to young adults.

My workshops can be adapted to fit into the PSHE curriculum for KS3 in that they have to participate with others and work collaboratively in order to achieve results.

As with all of the areas mentioned, I am adaptable to your needs within reason.

Family/adult groups

Why not involve me with a parenting group. My activities encourage participants to chat and it is a good excuse for people to meet.
