Winter Circus Skills Retreat
Our Winter Circus Skills Retreat will run from Sunday February 16 – Thursday February 20, 2025!
Play at circus all day long in beautiful Vermont with the coaches you love! Select from a main focus of german wheel, cyr wheel, trampoline, hand balancing, chinese pole, trapeze, aerial fabric, lyra or rope. Then pick from a variety of other aerials and circus skills during the afternoon rotations and try new things every day.
This is a great way to rediscover your love of circus, remember skills you might not have done for a while, and try out new things when you are ready. If you want the full Vermont experience, the great outdoors and winter activities are just moments away.
Prerequisites & More Info
Those newer to circus are welcome, though a background in fitness will help you get through vigorous training days. Those with more experience will be able to progress at their own pace. Long sleeves and martial arts style shoes with flexible soles are recommended.
