Ladies, did you see
Pink at this year's Grammy Awards?
Don't you wish you could do that? Well you can!
Admittedly, not straight away, but take classes with
Vulcana Women's Circus and you too could be hanging from the rafters with little more than a bed sheet supporting you.
Vulcana was set up by Antonella Casella in Brisbane's West End in 1995. Casella wanted to encourage women to participate in physical skills in a non-competitive way and to improve their health and wellbeing.
In 2000 the circus moved to its current location at The Brisbane Powerhouse.
The circus offers classes for all levels of fitness and also provides classes for over 40's and 50's.
Circus Essentials provides an overall starting point for newcomers. This 8-week class helps student build strength and flexibility whilst learning a range of skills such as hula-hoop, juggling, stilts and aerials.
After the 8-week essentials course you may be bold enough to take an aerials course. Available on either Wednesday evenings or Saturday afternoons. The aerial course gives you the opportunity to attempt trapeze and tissu (The act Pink performs)
For anyone looking for a bit of excitement but unable to commit to a full-time course or prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground, fire twirling and eating may be the class for you.
There are a number of alternative classes offered by the circus.
