Sportcentrum DDM Prostějov – Cirkusový kroužek

Sportcentrum DDM Prostějov is a children's and youth center located in Prostějov , Czech Republic. This public educational institution offers a wide range of extracurricular activities designed to develop the skills, creativity, and independence of participants.

Since the start of the 2026–2027 academic year, its program includes a new weekly workshop dedicated to circus arts, called Cirkusový kroužek .

A regular introduction to circus arts

The workshop welcomes children and teenagers aged 6 to 15 , in an environment accessible to beginners.

Participants discover different circus disciplines through exercises adapted to their age and abilities.

The goal is not to immediately seek performance, but to promote the enjoyment of practice, the discovery of new skills and individual progress.

Juggling and object manipulation

Juggling is one of the main activities offered.

The children learn to handle different circus props and to coordinate their movements.

These exercises promote concentration , dexterity , and hand-eye coordination . They also encourage perseverance and experimentation.

Ground acrobatics

The workshop includes an introduction to ground acrobatics .

The sessions take place on tatami mats , allowing participants to explore different movements in a suitable space.

Acrobatics contributes to the development of mobility, coordination and body awareness.

Balance techniques

Children also discover the principles of balancing through fun exercises.

These activities help to improve stability, posture and movement control.

They complement juggling and acrobatics by offering another approach to body coordination.

A playful teaching method

The workshop favours a friendly atmosphere in which participants can discover their abilities without performance pressure .

The exercises encourage curiosity, imagination, and the pleasure of practicing together.

This approach allows children to develop their confidence while discovering different families of circus disciplines.

Educational support

The sessions are led by Renata Fialová , an educational consultant at Sportcentrum DDM Prostějov.

The course is part of the regular programming of the children's and youth center, which also offers many sports, artistic and educational activities.

Circus arts education is therefore part of a broader project of education through leisure and collective activities.

Course organization

The workshop takes place every Friday from 2pm to 3:30pm , in the center's premises located on Vápenice Street in Prostějov.

Participants may exceptionally join the session at 2:30 p.m. , provided they indicate this when registering.
