As some of you are already aware, we’re changing a few things about our children’s classes at Urban Circus from January 2022. From January, we will be swapping our classes to term time only. During the holidays, we will run additional themed classes dependant on demand. We’re also considering brining back our 3 hour clubs that we had trialled pre lockdown. These covered circus, choreography and crafts. If these sound of interest, please let me know what sort of timing might suit you and any ideas you may have.
We will also be changing how classes are booked. Rather than our class passes, we are now running sessions as termly courses. The January start courses are 13 weeks and have a break in the middle for half term (with the exception of preschool which is a 6/7 week block for £30/£35). The holiday timings are copied from North Yorkshire County Council so hopefully will suit most of you. This means when you book into the course, your child will automatically be allocated a place each week and so you will no longer manually have to go and book them in. Termly booking works out at £9 a class. Once the term starts, we will also reintroduce drop in booking at £10 a session for any remaining spaces within classes. Please note that we are expecting some sessions to sell out so drop in may not be available for every time slot.
I removed the class pass options from the website when we were 12 weeks and 6 weeks out from Christmas in the hope that no-one would have outstanding class passes in the new year, however some of you are super organised and will have remaining classes to use. If that is you, please can you get in touch so I can manually add credit to your Childs account.
We have some new classes being added to our schedule from January which are listed below:

These are all available to book now on the website. Be sure to scroll to courses rather than classes in the drop down menu.
If you have more than one child attending any of the sessions from PreSchool to Teens, remember you can request a 10% sibling discount code. If you already have a code, this will work on the course bookings too! Drop us an email if you require a code!
As well as our school holiday plans, we’ve got lots more options to try in the new year *time dependant* including assessments, moves books, performance classes and showcases, additional kit and in house photoshoots. There are also junior aerial competitions popping up across the UK which I will be investigating for anyone interested in adding a competitive edge.
Finally, I just want to take this chance to thank you for your continued support and patience. I was tricked by all the wonderful parents around me into thinking this was an easy gig – you’re all con men and women haha! Trying to juggle a business and home life is hard and I am forever grateful to each of you for baring with me and my scatterbrain! I wish you all a wonderful Christmas season and here’s to a more organised and upside down New Year!
Thanks,
Love & Happy Upside-Down Wishes,
