classes under way




despite being new to the physical condition required for circus, the kids are doing really well, learning to stretch, balance and coordinate their bodies for the first time for some of them and are showing that they can do some simple acrobatics and are applying themselves to stretching.

i have already introduced some juggling equipment to the boys group also and they are able to get the hang of some things, showing equal intrest for all different props!

despite some stormy weather, we did some good stretching and yoga with the girls group yesterday, proving that even in the cramped front room of the girls hostal, there is space for circus!

in general, things are going well, the kids have taken to circus very well so far, the focus is still on the hostal kids for now although we hope to go into the tent village as soon as possible and offer at least some basic teachings there in within the next few days.
