Movement X Modern Circus
Do you enjoy being physically active and feeling the adrenaline rush of being on stage? Perhaps you envision a future in circus, performing arts or dance? Then this is the line for you!
Circus life in raw nature
On the Movement X Modern Circus line, you will immerse yourself in various circus disciplines, with a focus on mobility, strength, balance and coordination. Here you will use your body every day, challenge yourself and learn new skills.
The lessons are practical and varied. You work a lot on technique and the teachers follow you closely to ensure progression. You start with basic exercises and gradually move on to more advanced tricks. Of course, everything takes place within a safe and secure framework.
The training takes place at our school. Here we have everything from devil sticks to trampolines, and a well-equipped training room. In addition, we have access to the Hamna training center.
Psst! Did you know that we are the only circus line in Norway that is approved by FEDEC?
The plan states:
🤸Aerial and floor acrobatics
You will have fun on everything from trapeze, rings, trampolines and on the floor.
🤹♂️Juggling
Practice rhythm, precision and coordination with ball, cones and diabolo.
💪 Training, training, training!
In order for you to progress in the various circus disciplines, there will be regular strength, conditioning and mobility training.
🏄♂️ Trips to hidden gems in the local area
When the weather is good, we like to take our training sessions outside, with hikes in the mountains or surfing in Hoddevika.
💛 The good folk high school life
You will experience the good life at a folk high school, with fun activities and trips, and meet lots of new people.
