Come along and learn all the skills of the circus including tissu, static trapeze, lyra, juggling, hoops, acro balance and tumbling.
Intermediate Classes teach circus skills at a more advanced level, allowing students to try out all Flipside has to offer and focus on specialist areas. Classes are fun, friendly and led by professional circus artists. These classes are for those wanting to further develop their circus skills, general strength and flexiblity. Come and learn all the skills of the circus including tissu, static trapeze, lyra, juggling, hoops, acrobatics, mini tramp, tight wire, trampoline and tumbling.
This class is designed for our students that have moved through beginners and general classes and are now ready for more advanced training. In advanced classes we focus on training skills, strength and body control. This class will suit those who are ready to push their skills and are not interested in performing. This class is skill focused only and will have a strong aerial component in class. You will need to be approved by a Flipside trainer to participate in this class.
