In the Q Kids Circus children from the age of 6 learn in a playful way acrobatic figures on the trapeze, vertical cloth, air ring or rope and the art of ground acrobatics and train along the way strength, flexibility and coordination. In the groups children and teenagers become creative together and develop their own little choreographies on the acrobatic devices.
Several times a year, participants have the opportunity to present their skills to Q-Space, our training and performance venue, in front of an audience. In the preparation of the performances, the children and adolescents rehearse together with various artists who have been traveling the Berlin art and dance scene for many years.
AERIAL ACROBATICS
In our aerial acrobatics classes children and adolescents get to know the world of aerial acrobatics in a playful way. Basic training on the ground further develops their coordinative skills, making it easier to learn acrobatic figures on the trapeze, vertical cloth or vertical rope.
ADVANCED AERIAL ACROBATICS
This course is suitable for children over the age of 10 who have at least one year of experience in trapeze or vertical cloth. Children and adolescents who want to attend this course should be familiar with techniques such as climbing cloth, various knots or positions, and simple drops.
AIR RING & TRAPEZE
In the course children can creatively explore the aerial ring and the trapeze. After a basic training on the ground, they playfully learn artistic figures on both devices.
FLOOR ACROBATICS
Children from the age of 7 can learn the basics of acrobatics while developing balance, flexibility and strength. Both dynamic elements, such as different wheels, as well as headstand, handstand, partner acrobatics or human pyramids, we will learn together in the group.
KIDS CIRCUS
Here children from the age of 8 can try different circus arts: juggling with balls or diabolo, tricks on the running ball and acrobatic elements are trained together. Playfulness, coordination skills, balance and agility are enhanced.
