Summer Course on Tour

Holiday courses with Folkets Hus och Parker

The best week of the summer
The children train together, meet new friends, and try new things. Our pedagogues help you challenge yourself while having fun with others. You get to try all the exciting parts of circus, such as juggling, acrobatics, wire walking, and aerial acrobatics. What seems impossible suddenly becomes possible with our pedagogue by your side.
The course spans five days, and the week ends with a show for family and friends. Weather permitting, some classes can be held outdoors.

The course contains

Acrobatics
Acrobatics is one of the cornerstones of circus and contains many different disciplines. However, when we refer to acrobatics in the courses, we usually mean doing somersaults, handstands and performing various tricks on the floor.
Partner acrobatics
In partner acrobatics, two or more people collaborate in lifting, balancing, throwing and catching each other. We call those who lift "undermen" and those who are getting lifted "flyers".
Juggling
Juggling can be throwing balls or clubs into the air and balancing feathers or sticks with plates on the body. Many jugglers call themselves object manipulators.
Tightrope walking
There are many different types of lines, ropes and wires you can walk on: high, low, tight or slack. Many use long poles to help maintain balance. Balancing on a rope is often combined with acrobatics and dance.
Aerial acrobatics
Many, but not all, Folkets Hus and Park organisers can offer aerial acrobatics– it depends on whether or not there are secure rigging points in the ceiling.
An aerial acrobat performs tricks using, for example, a trapeze, rope, ring or silks. The tricks can consist of swinging, balancing and moving between different poses.
