Circus arts occupy an important place there thanks to the partnership with KEJOS , which is involved in teaching and artistic creation.

The Mała Akademia Cyrku KEJOS welcomes children from the age of 7 .

These courses allow you to discover contemporary circus arts in a collective environment.

Participants develop their coordination, balance and body control through exercises adapted to their age.

The teaching also encourages imagination and creativity, by associating the learning of techniques with their use in artistic proposals.

Aerial acrobatics from age 8

The Mała Akademia Cyrku KEJOS Aerial offers specialized instruction in aerial disciplines for children from 8 years old .

The school benefits from its proximity to the KEJOS collective, which is active in the creation and distribution of shows.

FAMA's activities thus combine the training of young people with the presence of professional artists.
