An acrobatics class in Dakar is an hour of balance, juggling, acrobatic lifts and body expression with a teacher, in a safe setting. The class is open to children, teenagers and adults, with no prerequisite level, and can be taken solo or as a duo.

An hour of circus arts in a supportive atmosphere

The circus arts are taught playfully: you work on balance, juggling, acrobatic lifts and body expression. Sessions last about an hour and are led by a teacher. The atmosphere is described as supportive, which matters when you are starting out or coming with a child.

The class is designed as a space for expression, creativity and personal growth, more than as performance training: you come to discover the world of the circus, not to land a trick. Solo gives one student the teacher’s full attention; the duo lets you start together, which helps with lifts.

No level is required. Bring comfortable clothing so you can move easily. The price is per person, and a duo option exists for coming as a pair.

If you live in Dakar, it is an activity that makes a change from the usual fitness class and opens up to the whole family. If you are visiting with children, it is something to do indoors to burn off energy.

Dakar, a city on the move

Dakar is not visited like a list of monuments: you get to know it through its neighbourhoods, its ocean and its tempo, between the colonial Plateau, the lively Médina and the pirogues of Soumbedioune. The class fits into this urban energy, on the leisure and physical-activity side rather than the sightseeing side.

Carrying on with the children

Listed among family outings, the class combines well with other options: circus arts and shows, family days and children’s outings or amusement and play parks. Adults who want to keep going will find sports coaching and fitness, and nature is not far away with the Hann Forest and Zoological Park.
