About Adult Circus Classes

Class registration for spring term 2026 will open to new members on Monday, 15 December. Spring term classes begin on Monday, 12 January 2026.

At Galway Community Circus we believe in play and remaining curious. Our adult classes allow the opportunity to learn more about your body, movement and self-awareness. We offer Adult Aerial and Adult Acrobatics for participants 18+. Click the pink buttons below for more information on each specific class.

The circus school year starts in September and ends in June. Autumn term is September to December, and spring term is January to June. Some of our adult classes are run on a full term (up to 32 weeks Sept-June), while some of our newer classes are on a 12-week term. See the table below for information on how many weeks each class is.
