CIRCUS FOUNDATIONS: 6-WEEK ACRO WORKSHOP
This dynamic 6-week circus workshop introduces the foundations of acrobatics in a supportive, playful, and confidence-building environment. Led by Ruby, who has trained and performed with world class circus companies including Cirque du Soleil.
Participants will learn specific foundational skills including:

• Cartwheels
• Handstands
• Partner balances
• Intro acro lifts
• Safe spotting techniques
• Creative movement transitions

From the very first class, you will step into the world of circus, learning to safely share weight in pairs and trios as you build strength, coordination, and trust. Each week brings you closer to a classic circus highlight: soaring like a plane, fully supported by your group.
This workshop is designed for beginners and accommodates a range of fitness levels. You do not need prior circus or acro experience; however, participants should feel comfortable with light to moderate physical activity (including getting up and down from the floor, supporting some body weight through the hands, and working in close proximity with others).

The workshop is led by Ruby, who has trained and performed with world-class circus companies. In 2018, she earned her Master’s in Occupational Therapy, bringing a unique blend of high-level circus expertise and evidence-based movement knowledge to every class. Safety, inclusion, and fun are at the heart of her teaching.
