The first week of the school holidays saw the girls attend a circus holiday program. Organised by the Circus Warehouse out of Kaleen High School, the 4 day program ran each day from 9-3. We were slightly nervous signing the girls up as there was no option but to enrol in all four days to an unknown program. Our anxiety was instantly dismissed at pick up on the first day when they both exclaimed to absolutely love it. Did I mention that cousin Mia was also there. Anyway each day we listened to the tales of trying different activities.
On Friday afternoon, I arrived in time to watch the 'show.' The small group of 6 each performed a series of moves on either the trapeze or on the silks. Katy and Ella both chose the trapeze, while Mia was on the silks.
The next part of the show involved the group completing a few adagio moves.
The final segment of the show was interactive with the audience! The kids were encouraged to teach the adults some of the skills they had learnt. Thankfully we were not allowed to go on the trapeze or silks. Ella was off improving her unicycle skills. Katy took me through poi (spinning balls in socks), diabolo, hula hoops, devils sticks all while Ella continued on the unicycle. She was impressed with her record of riding the unicycle continuously for six circuits of the hall! Lots of fun and I'm sure the girls will go again in the future.
