It was inspired by the Australian Fruit Fly Circus, which came to the Vancouver International Children's Festival in 1982, and returned for Expo '86. The school is equipped with aerial trapezes, corde lisse, tightwires, trampolines, juggling equipment, unicycles, and all aerial and ground safety devices.
Equipment is tested regularly for safety.
Students are instructed in all circus skills, and are encouraged to develop routines in their favorite areas. They are never pressured to continue something with which they feel uncomfortable or unsafe. From that comes confidence and self-esteem. Classes are under supervision of our experienced coaches who have NCCP level 2 training, as well as their skills in circus arts. Guest artists and specialty workshops are a frequent part of the yearly program.
