The balances

Balance exercises are another aspect of learning.

Acrobatics

Acrobatics complements this set by allowing students to explore different bodily possibilities.

This diversity of techniques allows everyone to discover several aspects of the circus and to develop their abilities through artistic and physical practice.

A school rooted in local cultural life

Cirq'en toi actively participates in the associative and cultural life of the Attert region.

The association is involved in particular in the Tontegrange festival, organized in Tontelange.

On this occasion, it offers introductory sessions open to the public to allow children to discover or rediscover the circus arts.

These workshops are led by the troupe's instructors and allow participants to experience juggling , balancing , and acrobatics .

A scenic dimension

The school also has a genuine theatrical dimension .

His students participate in an annual show allowing them to present the techniques and creations worked on during their classes.

In May 2026 , Cirq'en toi notably presented its show at the Tontegrange festival, as part of the Fun en grange program.

This event allows young practitioners to experience performing in front of an audience and to share their passion with the locals.

Links with professional artists

The association also maintains links with professional artists in the region.

Nathalie Schmit , a tightrope walking artist, is among those involved in the association project and in the supervision of the school.

This close connection with artistic practice allows students to discover the circus beyond just technical learning.

With its courses, public initiations and student shows, the association participates in the transmission of circus arts and in the cultural animation of the town of Attert.
