Strength training for circus is a term we use to explain training our body as a whole to get strong for performance. Understanding the foundation of your feet, hands, and its relation to your core.
It’s not only to use your body but to understand movement and be able to apply your body better to that movement.
Your understanding of the strength training and its affect on you as a performer and how it’s not about being bigger. It’s about being more efficient and being more flexible.
Strength training achieves that. Being more in control of the movement will make you more in control of a performance based on the strength you will have. ◦

Strength Training
Intro Class
Private Sessions
This class is suitable for artist/athletes in any discipline, but will have a special focus on pole dance as an example. The primary goal of the class is to restore balance and alignment to the body, correcting strength imbalances and postural issues associated with pole dance (or other) training and daily activities. Students will learn to apply anatomical language and exercise science to movement goals specific to pole (or their art/apparatus of choice). Each class will end with gentle movement prompts designed to connect exercise with artistry. All levels welcome.
