Circus Classes in Brisbane for kids

As a kid, most of us dreamed of running away to join the circus at some point, so why not give your kids the fun of making that a reality and enrol them in circus classes, where they can learn the basics, while making new friends and having a blast?

Circa

Circa is home to some of the leading Australian acrobats, with circus classes from age 3 to adult offered in their Fortitude Valley studio. They offer everything from acrobalance and juggling to tight rope walking and aerial skills. www.circa.org.au
