Circus Stars is driven towards providing an inclusive and supportive training environment, where children and young people can find their own place to learn and thrive. Circus as an art-form and physical activity allows children to be creative and build confidence.

 

Using the tools of circus training to "unlock the body" can open up a new world to children with special needs. Not only do they gain, strength, coordination and physical awareness, they can also gain confidence, opportunities for creative expression and a sense of "fitting in" somewhere. 

 

The Circus Stars program inspired by Dr Reg Bolton's theory of the  5 key elements of why circus works for children: to have fun, to take safe risks, to build trust and work as a team, to encourage individuality, and to work hard on our skills.

 

Circus Stars aims to provide a flexible learning environment, where children can participate in various skills at their own pace and skill level, this allows them to develop as individuals, while still belonging to the group.
