Spaziocirco – Scuola di Circo

Spaziocirco is a circus school and association located in Cologno Monzese , in the Milan metropolitan area.

Created in 2007 , it was born from the experience of professionals from fields including motor sciences, psychomotor skills, body expression, dance, theatre and circus.

Since its creation, several thousand students have participated in its activities.

The association develops an approach in which circus arts constitute both an artistic practice and a genuine educational tool .

His philosophy is based on education through movement.

Technical skills are important, but they are integrated into a larger project that takes into account the motor , emotional , relational and creative development of each participant.

Inclusion is also one of the principles advocated by the association.

A particularly large audience

Spaziocirco attracts a particularly wide audience.

The first journeys begin as early as preschool.

Circummotor skills are offered from the age of four .

At this age, running, jumping, throwing, climbing and experiencing different motor situations allows the child to gradually discover their body.

The game occupies a central place.

The activities aim to simultaneously promote motor, emotional, and cognitive development.

Multidisciplinary circus classes

Children aged six and up can join multidisciplinary circus classes.

They then begin to discover more directly the major technical families of circus arts.

Ground acrobatics

Ground acrobatics is one of the fundamentals.

It helps to develop coordination, mobility and body awareness.

The mini-trampoline

The mini-trampoline complements this work and introduces another relationship to impulses and acrobatic movements.

Juggling

Juggling helps develop visual and motor coordination, precision and concentration.

Balancing act

Balancing acts constitute another important family.

Students can, in particular, try out stilts, balance balls and unicycles.

The acrobalance

The acrobalance introduces teamwork.

Students must then learn to build figures using weight, support, and trust between partners.

Aerial disciplines

Aerial disciplines are also part of the multidisciplinary program.

This discovery then allows students particularly attracted to aviation to join more specialized courses.

A wide range of offerings related to aerial dance

The school offers a wide range of courses in aerial dance.

The main apparatus currently taught are the silks , the trapeze and the aerial hoop .

The courses are organized according to age and level.

• Young people can start in beginner or intermediate level groups.
• Teenagers with more experience can join intermediate or advanced groups.
• Adults also have several time slots available.

Some classes work with several pieces of equipment.

Others are devoted more specifically to fabrics.

A course combining hoop and silks also allows for further development of these two apparatus.

This organization allows for genuine technical progress over several years.

Juggling, balance and acroyoga classes

The school also offers courses dedicated to juggling and balancing.

These courses are accessible from the age of fifteen and operate on several levels.

Acroyoga currently complements the offering.

This discipline allows you to work on balances in groups, lifts, mobility and relationship with your partner.

Advanced courses for experienced teenagers

For teenagers who have already acquired solid experience, Spaziocirco also develops advanced courses.

The Circus Lab! is aimed particularly at young people from the age of fourteen who already have some experience.

It combines acrobatics, aerial disciplines, ground acrobatics and trampoline.

Other circus disciplines can also be explored.

The goal is to gradually build a higher-level group capable of sharing training, taking on new technical challenges and possibly developing joint performances and projects.

Young people aged ten to fifteen can also join the advanced multidisciplinary circus.

This course combines aerial dance, ground acrobatics, juggling, mini-trampoline and various balancing acts.

Progression can thus go from circus skills to advanced practice without leaving the structure.

Preparation for aerial sports competitions

Spaziocirco even offers specific training sessions to prepare for aerial discipline competitions.

These training sessions are accessible by invitation to the adolescents, young people and adults concerned.

However, this competitive sporting activity remains distinct from the general identity of the school, which remains largely based on educational circus .

A gateway to vocational schools

Some Spaziocirco students have even continued their studies beyond the amateur school.

The association indicates that several of them have been selected to continue their training in professional circus schools .

This is an interesting point: Spaziocirco is not itself a higher professional school, but it can be a solid first step for young people who then wish to move towards vocational training.

This progression is made possible by the diversity of levels offered.

1. A child can start very young.
2. He can then join the multidisciplinary circus.
3. During adolescence, he can delve deeper into aerial disciplines or join advanced groups.
4. He can finally develop a much more intensive practice before possibly considering an external professional school.

The 2026-2027 season

The 2026-2027 season particularly illustrates this continuity.

Classes officially begin on September 21, 2026 and continue until June 4, 2027 .

The offer is spread throughout the week.

It concerns children, adolescents, young people and adults.

Spaziocirco also offers “ Circo in Famiglia ”.

This activity allows children and parents to practice together.

It helps to create a different relationship with circus activity and movement.

Interventions in schools

But Spaziocirco's stock price is significantly higher than its weekly prices.

The association also works in schools.

His " Piccolo Circo " laboratories are designed as playful, psychomotor and relational pathways.

Circus arts are explicitly considered to have strong educational value.

Participants experiment with different techniques in an environment based on trust and collaboration.

The goal is not solely to develop physical abilities.

• The laboratories are also seeking to strengthen cooperation .
• Self-confidence is cultivated.
• Trust in others is another essential aspect.

The courses can be adapted to the needs of the institutions and participants.

Ground acrobatics, juggling, balancing and aerial disciplines can be integrated into these interventions.

Spaziocirco also offers circus psychomotor courses for preschool.

This specialization is consistent with the training of several team members.

The participants include professionals from motor sciences, psychomotor skills, education and the performing arts.

This diversity of skills allows the association to build projects that are not based solely on technical transmission.

Training and external interventions

Spaziocirco also works with communities, organizations and businesses.

It offers training courses for students in motor sciences, training sciences and educational sciences.

It also hosts PCTO courses for students from Italian secondary schools.

This training activity is an interesting aspect of the structure.

The association therefore transmits not only the circus arts to practitioners, but also some of its educational tools to future professionals in education and movement.

Summer camps

Summer camps are another component of the project.

In 2026 , the " Circo in Città " campus welcomed children and teenagers aged six to fourteen .

It was accessible to both regular students and people outside the school.

The days combined juggling, ground acrobatics, aerial disciplines, balancing, outdoor games and group activities.

The project was explicitly presented as educational, recreational, formative, socializing and promoting interaction.

The collective and inclusive dimension

This desire to create connections is reflected in the overall functioning of Spaziocirco.

The association considers collective practice to be a fundamental part of learning.

Individual skills are important.

But they must be able to integrate into a group dynamic.

Trust and cooperation then become skills in their own right.

Spaziocirco also claims an inclusive dimension as one of its main educational choices.

Two teaching locations in Cologno Monzese

Spaziocirco currently has two main course locations in Cologno Monzese.

Part of the activities are organised on Via Petrarca .

Other courses take place on Via Lombardia .

Both spaces are located in educational institutions.

The distribution varies according to disciplines and groups.

Via Petrarca notably hosts a significant portion of the children's and teenagers' courses.

Via Lombardia notably hosts some multidisciplinary courses and several aerial activities intended for teenagers and adults.

This two-room setup allows the association to offer a particularly full program.

For the NetJuggler directory

According to the NetJuggler directory, Spaziocirco is therefore a particularly comprehensive amateur circus school.

• It allows children to start from the age of four .
• It then welcomes children, teenagers and adults.
• It offers a progression ranging from discovery to advanced groups.
• It has a significant air service offering.
• She also teaches juggling, balancing, unicycling, stilt walking, acrobatics, trampolining and acrobalancing.
• Its school laboratories and psychomotor activities strongly reinforce its identity as an educational circus .
• His training and external interventions show that his teaching experience goes beyond just weekly classes.
• The fact that some former students have gone on to enter professional schools shows that this amateur practice can also provide a solid foundation for young people wishing to pursue further studies.

Spaziocirco thus occupies an interesting place in the circus landscape of the Milan agglomeration: a school accessible to the greatest number , highly educational and inclusive , but also capable of accompanying practitioners towards advanced technical levels .
