Charivacirc

Charivacirc – Circus Arts School

Charivacirc – École des Arts du Cirque is an association located in Corbie , about fifteen kilometers east of Amiens, in the Somme department. Its mission is to promote circus arts , their practice and learning, but also to raise awareness among different audiences about the world of circus.

Approval and contact

The school is accredited by the FFEC (French Federation of Catholic Schools) under number 80282 and belongs to the FREC Grand Nord (Regional Federation of Catholic Schools of the Grand Nord). The FFEC currently lists Marie-Christine Sinoquet as the manager of Charivacirc, with the telephone number 07 89 09 20 51 and the email address bonjour@charivacirc.fr .

Audiences and progression

The practice begins very early: documents from the City of Corbie present Charivacirc as a school offering circus classes from the age of 2. The offering then extends to children, teenagers and adults, allowing progression over several years within the same structure.

Courses and specializations

The teaching is not based on a single discipline. Charivacirc develops a multidisciplinary approach to circus arts, complemented by specialized instruction. The 2026-2027 season notably confirms the existence of specific trapeze classes, offered in 1-hour or 1.5-hour formats per week.

Parkour now also occupies a clearly defined place in the school's offerings. For 2026-2027, Charivacirc is offering a specialized 1.5-hour weekly course, which can be chosen as a main activity or added to another circus course, allowing for the gradual development of a more personal practice.

Registration forms

The different registration options allow you to practice according to varying volumes, up to three hours per week.

• 45-minute weekly lesson
• 1 hour of class per week
• 1.5 hours of weekly lessons
• 2 hours of class per week
• 3 hours of class per week

Territorial implementation

An important feature of Charivacirc is its territorial presence. The heart of the school remains in Corbie , where workshops are notably organized at 4 place Jean-Catelas , but the association also provides courses in other municipalities.

Presence in other municipalities

• Longueau : the municipality officially recognizes Charivacirc among its associations, and the Denis Papin hall hosts the association. Registrations for the 2026-2027 academic year in Longueau offer options including up to two hours of classes per week.
• Méharicourt : a specific offer is open for 2026-2027, including a formula of 1.5 hours of weekly lessons.
• Albert : The City of Albert lists Charivacirc as a circus school, indicating its website, email address and telephone number.

For the NetJuggler listing, it is relevant to present Corbie as the main location, then Longueau , Méharicourt and Albert as complementary locations, which better reflects the reality of the structure than a listing limited to the single municipality of Corbie.

Adapted circus and disability

Adapted circus arts deserve a prominent place in the description of Charivacirc. This dimension is documented by the Somme Departmental Council , which explicitly presents the association as enabling people with disabilities to participate in circus arts. This inclusive characteristic broadens the school's mission beyond mere recreational classes.

Internships during the holidays

Charivacirc also organizes circus workshops during school holidays, with a flexible format allowing registration for a single day or for the entire week. The association's HelloAsso page centralizes these workshop announcements and registrations for regular classes.

• Spring 2026: internship from April 20 to 24, 2026 at the Corbie circus school, with the possibility of choosing certain days or the entire week.
• Summer 2026: internship from July 13 to 17, 2026 (excluding July 14), at 4 place Jean-Catelas in Corbie, according to the same principle of registration à la carte or for the entire internship.

Federal network

Charivacirc participates in the dynamics of the FFEC and has notably been present at the National Meetings of Circus Schools alongside other structures, which contributes to educational and artistic exchanges between young practitioners.

• Circus Wind
• Cirqu'onflexe

Historical location

Charivacirc is a long-established organization within the local community. The City of Corbie lists Marie-Christine Sinoquet as its president, and the school regularly appears in activity guides and municipal documents. A leisure-focused source (ANCV) mentions a reputation built over thirty years , while remaining cautious about the exact year of its founding due to a lack of precise institutional data.
