Circus & Burlesque... like tea & cake; an awesome combination...

Oh that's such a pain! I'd love to do that but I work on Saturdays *cries a bit*

Are there any plans to do evening classes?

I noticed that no one had posted any pictures yet so I thought I'd get the ball rollling by adding one of me as a sad little clown - awww! (Sorry, that was a bit panto!)

i'm all happy because I've found dance trapeze classes in Edinburgh- bit far- but I'm up there for the Fringe so hoping to try it out. Why can no one teach this is London?
I want to do this as I'm still scared of heights and love spinning.

Anything in the North West?? :'(

What a splendid idea for a group!
For Scottish performers check out www.rhymeswithpurple.net/workshops - we offer workshops in circus skills and fire performance! Although it might be difficult to drink your tea whilst spinning poi or dangling from a trapeze...one lump or two is it?
