Older Adults Circus (55+)

Our Older Adults Circus class is designed to introduce older adults to the basic skills and joy of circus with a focus on health and wellbeing. Classes will feature a variety of activities, including balancing, tightwire, juggling, manipulation, aerials and acrobatics.

In this class, participants will:

• Improve balance, coordination, and flexibility through gentle circus activities
• Increase flexibility and strength
• Enhance cognitive function and memory through engaging and enjoyable exercises
• Learn new skills in a safe and welcoming environment
• Reduce stress and improve wellbeing
• Boost self-esteem and confidence
• Feel encouraged to express themselves creatively

Our experienced and compassionate tutor will ensure that each participant receives personalized attention and guidance, and is committed to creating a positive, enjoyable, and safe experience for everyone. This class is suitable for all levels and abilities.

Starting in January 2026, we will be making a few changes based on feedback we have received.

Our Older Adult Circus (55+) class will run as a 1-hour, drop-in, pay-as-you-go session for €10. You can pay by card or cash, and you’re welcome to pay for one or more classes at a time. You will only need to sign the registration sheet once when you join, and each week we will have someone at the door to take attendance, process payments, and welcome new members.

We hope this more flexible system will make the class easier to access and help us grow the group so we can continue offering circus skills to everyone.
