Incursion packages are designed to fit seamlessly into your school day, delivering a hands-on, inclusive, movement-based experience right on campus.

Package Descriptions:

• 1-Hour Circus Taster:
  Give your students a burst of high-energy fun in a short session. This package introduces them to basic juggling, balance exercises, and simple acrobatics. The focus is on breaking the ice—encouraging confidence, teamwork, and a bit of silly fun that leaves everyone smiling. Perfect for a quick enrichment during a PE period or as an energizer between classes.

• 2-Hour Big Top Workshop:
  With a little extra time, we dive deeper into foundational circus skills. Students rotate through a variety of stations where they learn juggling techniques, simple partner acrobatics, and balance challenges. The longer duration allows our coaches to give more individual attention and tailor activities to different ability levels, ensuring a safe and engaging experience for every child.

• 3-Hour Grand Circus Challenge:
  This half-day session is all about building skills and boosting confidence. Students get a well-rounded introduction to circus arts—rotating through multiple skill stations that include basic acrobatics, juggling, and ground-based creative movement challenges.

• Full-Day Incursion Options (5-6 Hours):
  For schools looking for a comprehensive, all-day workshop, our extended incursion packages transform a regular school day into a circus adventure. Over five to six hours, students explore an expanded curriculum covering everything from ground acrobatics to coordination games and creative performance. These sessions are perfect for special events, festival days, or as part of a broader physical education program. Although certain advanced activities (like aerial arts) might be limited by the available space, our mobile setup ensures a rich, diverse circus experience right at your school.
