[title]Did you know there’s a circus school tucked away just back from Prahran’s busy Chapel Street precinct? NICA Recreation runs a whole bunch of approachable programs for kids, teens and adventurous adults at the National Institute of Circus Arts. It’s a creative way to improve fitness, strength, coordination and flexibility. Here’s a breakdown of the ways you or your kid can get a taste of the world of circus at NICA.
Holiday programs
Looking for a fun and dynamic way to keep the kids and teenagers entertained during the school holidays? NICA’s school holiday program could be just the thing. With morning, full day and afternoon specialty workshops available, they can learn over an action-packed two weeks. The next holiday program is coming up from April 7 to 17.
Come and try circus days
Sometimes the best way to test the circus waters is to dip your toe in. That’s why NICA holds 'come and try' sessions for kids, teens and adults before the start of each term of classes. These hour-long sessions cost $25 each and introduce a variety of circus specialties. The next scheduled session is on April 12.
Circus classes
For those ready to take the leap, NICA’s regular classes run in terms throughout the year. Take advantage of the best circus training facilities in Australia and choose a style that suits you. What can you try? Anything aerial from tissu, straps, hoop, trapeze and acrobatic pole, to ground based activities like tumbling, handstands, trampoline, strength and conditioning, partner acrobatics and more.
Parties
NICA’s circus parties help you celebrate your special occasion with a fun, safe and inclusive circus workshop. These parties aren’t just for kids either – NICA’s Prahran location means these parties are the perfect starting point for grownup birthday parties or hens.
