For children

For children and teenagers, Riga Circus School offers regular recreational classes where, under the guidance of experienced trainers, participants can improve their overall physical fitness and learn a variety of circus disciplines.

During the classes, children develop agility, coordination, balance, concentration and creativity, while also learning to cooperate and work as a team — skills that are useful not only in circus but also in everyday life.

Classes take place during the school year from September to May and are suitable for children and teenagers aged 5 to 17, both with and without previous experience in circus or related disciplines.

Location: Riga Circus School, Zeļļu iela 25, Āgenskalns, Riga.

Attendance is recorded for students at the PRO level, as it is one of the criteria used to determine whether a student will take part in creating the end-of-season performance.

* If the full semester fee is paid in advance and the participant stops attending classes, the payment is non-refundable.

Registration and reserving a place

To reserve a place in a group, an invoice for the first month of classes will be issued. The invoice must be paid by the deadline indicated on it — a place in the group is guaranteed only after the payment has been received.
