Circus School: Good for the Young and Young at Heart

VANCOUVER – With the onset of Winter just around the corner, men and women in Vancouver are looking for fun, different ways to get exercise, that doesn’t involve the boring, same-old, same-old gym routine.

For those considering switching up their fitness plans, or just wanting to do something outside of their normal activities, look no further; the circus has it all.

Circus enthusiasts abroad who’ve learned skills in trampoline, acrobatics, aerial arts, swinging trapeze and more say learning circus arts is not only a great workout which helps build lean muscle mass and stamina; it’s also effective in promoting balance, flexibility and coordination, and spatial awareness-all of which help people in both athletic and every day activities.

A spokeswoman for the Vancouver Circus School says, “we have a lot of dancers and athletes who come to us to help them better their overall core strength and workout routine”.

The Vancouver Circus School, located at the Harry Jerome Recreational Center in the Memorial Gym, on the North Shore, has been running since 2004, offering classes for all ages in aerial silk, acrobatics, swinging trapeze, juggling, trampoline, and more.

Travis Johnson, co-owner of the school says, “While we do have several students who are there to spice up their workout regime, we also have many people who just wanted to try something different. Everyone gets a great exercise and works in a collaborative, group environment”.

For the fist time, the school is offering introductory nights, (just in time for New Years Resolutions!) from January 4th- 8th. Registration starts November 9h, 2009.
