You can expect to upskill on movements in pervious classes in this intermediate level class. Think gymnastics without perfectionism or a competitive nature. This is your opportunity to relive your childhood or freshen up on moves you haven't taken to the floor in years. Think cartwheels, handstands, going upside down, tumbles and lots of lengthy warmups and conditioning including some calming practices like yoga to warm and wind down to bring down that adrenaline before you step back into your life outside of this fun space. We may even work together but this is totally optional. Most of our skills refining will be individual Circus Gymnastics.
The class will be guided with a warmup, conditioning and specific movement focus for developing your moves. Everyone may have a different move in mind and all ideas are welcome.
The class is for intermediates. The purpose is to have fun moving. If adults have problems with high blood pressure, they need to have it under control for the likes of inversions. Any injuries should be explained to check if this type of movement is safe for you.
The structure will consist of a yoga based warmup and cooldown, conditioning, stationary and more dynamic moves/ All with the help of a bouncy track and plenty of mats for soft landings.
All students will be able to explore their training at their own level with modifications offered for different abilities.
Tumbles, bridges (wheel pose), the fundamentals of acrobatics/gymnastics with lots of different ways to do each move. Did you know a cartwheel does not have to look one way?
Yes, it is best if comfortable entering and exiting stand alone handstands by yourself - we can work on more intermediate versions with this but a base is necessary. Confident body awareness with cartwheel or roll variations. Some familiarity with hurdle/ round off base skills on track. Just bring yourself and preferably no major injuries. This isn't intended to be heavy impact but body weight exercises will be used throughout putting weight into parts of the body you may not be used to. Everyone is welcome!
Tight clothing is helpful to avoid t-shirts falling over heads etc. Something you can stretch and move in is ideal. No jeans.

Circus Factory has professionally installed aerial rigging and all equipment and hardware undergoes regular inspection. All equipment is rigged at a low accessible level with professional landing mats mandatory for practice training. Our aerial Coaches are experienced aerial artists and have a high level of previous teaching experience. All classes are conducted with Covid 19 protocols in place.
The circus factory is such a fantastic place with amazing tutors. There is never any pressure to go higher or do anything I'm uncomfortable with but I still always find myself pushing my boundaries from the support and enthusiasm of Brenda and the students. Couldn't ask for a better environment to see what I'm capable of or better people to share a passion with.
“Finding circus was such a life changing thing for me, in it I found not just a physical outlet, something that had been lacking in my adult life but also a creative outlet, a place to be inspired and explore my crazy ideas”
“Brilliant venue. great for learning circus skills with lovely teachers”
The Circus factory is like a big playground where creative people play and work with each other and learn from one another. Exploring new movements is one of the most beautiful ways to entertain your inner child.
The equipment in CF is always improved/ updated and above all when it comes to aerial rigging/equipment it's regulated & safe. Knowing you can train on apparatus that is rigged well and checked regularly means a lot”
“The best place in Cork to get fit and push your limits while having a lot of fun.”
“Circus Factory has been an amazing organisation and community to get to know. By learning skills I never thought I could manage, It has helped me develop confidence not just as an artist but in my everyday life as well”,
