We educate
- in circus movement
- through circus movement
- about circus movement
In doing circus movement, the physical actions and experiences, we gain confidence in ourselves and learn all the motor skills we need in live.
Through circus movement we also learn about the others, we relate with them and form our personal social and emotional development.
About circus movements : we teach children and teachers why we do what we do and how to do it; we educate them about the benefits of movement and circus.
In this program we will offer a week long workshop for teachers in the art of parkour and how to us it with diffrent groups April 2019
