Escola de Circ de Cerdanyola

The Escola de Circ de Cerdanyola is a school dedicated to the learning and practice of circus arts located in Cerdanyola del Vallès, in the province of Barcelona.

The school welcomes children, teenagers and adults and organizes its activities according to the age and level of the participants.

The children's school

For children, learning is based on a multidisciplinary discovery of the circus .

This approach allows students to practice several major families of techniques during their training.

Aerial disciplines

Aerial disciplines are an integral part of the teaching.

• Students can, in particular, discover aerial fabrics .
• The trapeze is also taught.
• The rope complements the learning of the main aerial disciplines offered by the school.

Acrobatics

Acrobatics is another important aspect of the training.

• The classes allow you to work on different forms of floor acrobatics .
• The mini-trampoline is also used to develop certain acrobatic techniques.
• Working with verticals allows one to gradually approach hand balances.
• Acrobatic balances complement this physical learning.

Balances on objects

The school also devotes a significant part of its teaching to equilibria on objects .

• Unicycling is one of the disciplines practiced.
• Students can also discover stilt walking .
• The wire allows you to experiment with balance on a narrow support.
• The balance ball offers another way to develop coordination and body control.
• The rola-bola complements the variety of balance objects used during classes.

Juggling

Juggling is also one of the major families of techniques taught.

The diversity of disciplines allows children to acquire a broad circus culture before gradually developing their preferences.

The organization of groups

The children's school is organised into several age groups.

• The Petits group welcomes the youngest students.
• The Mitjans group allows this discovery to continue with an adapted progression.
• The Grans group welcomes older children.
• The teenagers then have access to Joves groups.

This organization allows the exercises, pace and educational objectives to be adapted to the development of the students.

The groups remain intentionally limited.

They usually have between eight and twelve participants .

This organization facilitates student support and allows teachers to monitor their progress.

Children's group classes are organized on weekdays in the late afternoon.

In-depth study among adolescents

Teenagers can then delve deeper into certain specific techniques.

• They are offered, among other things, acrobatics classes.
• They can also specialize in aerial disciplines .

This transition allows for a gradual shift from multidisciplinary discovery to more specific work.

Adult classes

The school also welcomes adults.

For this audience, teaching is more organized around specific techniques.

Aerial Disciplines Courses

A specific course is dedicated to aerial disciplines.

It allows you to work in particular with aerial silks , fixed trapeze and rope .

Adults can thus begin these disciplines or continue a practice already acquired.

Acrobatics classes

Another course is devoted to acrobatics.

It includes, in particular, floor acrobatics and work with a mini-trampoline .

Working on verticals helps develop hand balance.

This discipline requires strength, alignment, coordination, and body awareness.

The different courses thus allow adults to build their practice according to their interests.

Free training

The school also offers free training time.

These time slots allow for the space to practice different techniques more independently.

Acrobatics, aerial disciplines, juggling and verticals can be practiced during these sessions.

Free training is an interesting complement to supervised classes.

It allows practitioners who already have the necessary basics to repeat and deepen their technique.

A complete pathway, from discovery to specialization

The Escola de Circ de Cerdanyola thus offers a path ranging from the discovery of the circus for children to a more specialized practice for teenagers and adults.

Younger people can experiment with many disciplines before choosing which ones they wish to pursue further.

The variety of equipment allows for the development of very different skills.

• Aerial disciplines develop, in particular, strength, coordination and control of the body in suspension.
• Acrobatics allows you to work on movement, balance, and body awareness.
• Balancing on objects develops concentration, precision, and adaptation.
• Juggling requires coordination, rhythm, and perseverance.
• Unicycles, stilts, tightrope walking, balls and rola-bola allow you to explore several forms of balance.

This complementarity is one of the advantages of multidisciplinary circus training .

Students are not limited to a single technique and can discover different ways of setting their bodies and objects in motion.

Organizing into small groups also promotes progress adapted to each age group.

The school thus allows children to start circus arts from childhood and to continue practicing during adolescence and into adulthood.

For more experienced practitioners, specialized courses and free training time allow them to continue developing their autonomy and technique.

The Escola de Circ de Cerdanyola thus constitutes a place for regular practice of circus arts in Cerdanyola del Vallès, offering a particularly diverse training around acrobatics, aerial disciplines, juggling and balancing.
