Specializations

Beyond its multidisciplinary courses, the school also allows progressing students to specialize in specific disciplines. Dedicated time slots are offered in aerial arts, including intermediate and advanced groups, as well as in unicycling and acrobatics.

These events allow participants to discover new disciplines or work more intensively on specific techniques. The school also offers slots for organizing circus-themed birthday parties.
