Overview

Step into a world of imagination, movement and playful discovery with Circus Play.

Led by early years practitioner Désirée Boyneburg-Madile, this joyful session blends gentle gymnastics and simple yoga poses with creative circus-inspired activities. Little ones will stretch like acrobats, balance like tightrope walkers, wriggle and twirl with scarves and ribbons, and explore movement through music, storytelling and games.

Designed especially for babies and young children, Circus Play supports the development of coordination, balance, strength and body awareness in a safe and nurturing environment. Alongside energetic movement, moments of calm and relaxation help children practise listening skills and build confidence at their own pace.

What We Explore
