Acrobatics

Halifax Circus offers several different types of circus acrobatics. It's important to note that circus is different than gymnastics and uses different skills! Its about finding your abilities and potential, while having fun.

We currently offer two levels of acrobatics, handstand and core training as well as cyr wheel and youth classes.
