"So, today we're going to do head stands" Said the trainer. I actually laughed out loud and thought to myself, I can't do that, that's impossible, what are we really doing? Fifteen minutes later I was standing on my head and I couldn't believe it.

Woman's Circus is a woman's only circus training organisation that aims to "inspire and empower through contemporary circus". With a focus on building confidence, women's circus is for anyone who thinks they're too old, too big, too unfit, too weak, or too awkward to do circus tricks.



Classes start with a fun warm up game followed by some light stretching. You'll then be taught a range of circus crafts like stilt walking, static trapeze, tumbling or juggling. Each trick is clearly explained and demonstrated by the trainers, then everyone is encouraged to give it a go. The trainers are very supportive and if you're struggling they will happily guide you through the task.

Women's circus probably won't train you to do amazing cirque du soleil quality tricks. More likely you'll end up more comfortable with your body and more confident about your physical abilities. You'll also get quite a few laughs and high fives.

The introductory program, New Women , is $279 full or $234 concession for a 10 week term, plus a $55 yearly membership fee. Once you've completed 2 terms of New Women you can take classes is specific skills, such as juggling, acro-balance or handstands. Intakes for the New Women program are in January and July.

The circus is located in Drill Hall 395 Barkly St, West Footscray. See their website for more details: http://womenscircus.org.au
