Cirkidz has been Adelaide’s home of circus for 40 years, and it’s more than just a place to learn flips. It’s a creative, supportive community where kids can move their bodies, build confidence, and have an absolute blast, all while being welcomed for exactly who they are.
Located in Bowden, the SA Circus Centre (Home of Cirkidz) is a welcoming space filled with trampolines, aerial rigs, sprung floors, hula-hoops, and everything needed for a world-class circus experience. And if you’re in the north, Cirkidz has you covered; satellite classes run in Smithfield Plains too!
Unlike traditional sports, circus is non-competitive, so kids are encouraged to find their own strengths and progress at their own pace.
Whether they love acrobatics, tumbling, aerial silks and trapeze, or just the thrill of trying something new, there’s a class for every age and ability, including Parkour classes for kids who love to run, vault, and climb.
Cirkidz and UniSA have recently teamed up for some research that uncovered that regular circus training builds strength, coordination, and resilience in kids!
For some, it’s about making new friends and mastering a new skill just for fun. For others, it’s a pathway to the spotlight. Recent Cirkidz students have gone on to perform with internationally touring contemporary circus companies, proving that the sky’s the limit (literally).
Cirkidz classes start with the beloved Tiddlerz program, designed to give preschoolers the best start in their movement journey. These classes for ages 2.5 to 5 (with their big person) help little ones develop balance, coordination, confidence, and social skills in a playful, supportive environment.
Through movement, creativity, and just the right amount of challenge, Tiddlerz sets the foundation for a lifetime of active learning. And the fun doesn’t stop there; Cirkidz has classes for all ages, right up to adults! Parents, we see you eyeing off the trapeze. Evening classes are the perfect chance to learn handstands, aerials, or acrobatics, no experience necessary, just a sense of adventure!
School-aged participants up to year 9 can get up to $200 off class fees using SA Sports Vouchers. Plus, everyone gets a no-obligation free trial class so there’s no reason not to give it a go! After 40 years of flips, laughter, and incredible performances, Cirkidz is still going strong.
So, if you’re looking for something different from the usual sports and activities, come and see why circus magic has kept Adelaide families coming back for generations.
