Circus School

posted: Saturday, 22 September 2007

After last week's burlesque day this Saturday was spent at Circus School!

I have been before, about 5 years ago, but got a lot more out of it this time.

We began with the flying trapeze then moved on to acrobatic balancing, juggling and tight-rope walking before breaking for lunch.

When we returned we went on to doing the diabolo, static trapeze, stilt walking and some acrobatic tumbling before we all got together and made a big human pyramid!

When I went before I hated the static trapeze (well maybe more I couldn't do it!) but loved it this time. Would love to do some more of that, along with stilt-walking (which I couldn't believe I could do) and the diabolo. I have previously done poi-spinning (and hope to do some more soon) and loved it, so the diabolo really appealed.

My new Sampler arrived today with lots of nice cards, scented things, badges etc and a new necklace from Wabisabi Brooklyn!
