The French Circus School, based in Melbourne, creates a unique bridge between French and English through the enchanting world of circus arts. Our mission is to provide a dynamic and enriching environment where children can learn, play, and grow.
For the past 4 years, The French Circus School has offered weekly classes starting at age 3, combining circus arts with French language introduction. They also conduct sessions in schools and kindergartens, animate school events, and participate in major public events, providing a unique, fun, and cultural experience.
What’s in a circus class?
Circus practice is a great way for children to stay in shape and develop their coordination. The different disciplines, such as juggling, acrobatics, or balances, stimulate their body and improve their agility.
The content of the activities is always tailored to the children's age, ensuring a stimulating and fun experience.
Juggling
‘‘ flowers sticks, balls, Chinese plates, scarves, diabolo…’’
Balance on an unstable object :
‘‘ unicycle, slackline, barrel drum, rolla bolla, walking globes,balance board, pedalgo’’
Gymnastics:
General and basics move in gymnastics including a lot of Human Pyramid.
Regarding the French approach:
According to the level the circus students in French ( starting from ‘‘0’’ to bilingual students), the content is adapted, vocabulary, and part of French in the lessons.
French will always be brought with play and movement, It's not a French class, it's a French Circus Class!
For the school teachers :
Because each incursion program is different, the best thing is to discuss it with me for your projects in class.
A message from Anthony,from The French Circus School
Bonjour,
I am a circus and sports teacher passionate about my work, coming from the north of France where I have offered circus and sports activities since 2008.
I founded the French Circus School in Melbourne in 2020, to bring my passion to Australia and offer interesting and fun programs to children. My students enjoy every class because they always learn something new, including French language.
Each class offers a variety of activities, so every child will find something they love in my classes.
À bientôt
Anthony
Testimonials from parents & children :
‘‘Our 8-year-old daughter has been attending circus classes with Anthony for over a year and loves it. She enjoys learning tricks she can show us at home like juggling but also working together with classmates and preparing a show at the end of the term” (Marine)
‘‘My 7-year-old son has been attending Anthony's circus class for the past year and a half. He looks forward to going every week and absolutely loves the classes. I'm constantly amazed at how much he can do now and how confident he's become!
Anthony is a very experienced coach who shows great patience and kindness towards the children. I also love that the sessions incorporate both French and English, which provides a relaxed environment for my son to practice his mother tongue.’’ (Sophie)
