Dancing with the wheel – the art of balance, strength, and spinning inspiration.
Enter the circle of contemporary circus! The Cyr Wheel – a large metal hoop that spins with the artist in smooth, hypnotic movements – is one of the most impressive circus arts of modern times.
In this workshop, you will learn the techniques and secrets of movement inside the wheel – that special balance between control and freedom, between physics and poetry in space.
What will we do?
- Introduction to the basics of technique and safety
- First steps in the circle – balance, turning, centering
- Exercises for strength, stability, and coordination
- Working with a professional Cyr Wheel under the guidance of the experienced artist Nicola Fanton
- And last but not least – the feeling of flying… on the ground
You don’t have to be an acrobat!
The workshop is suitable for beginners and curious enthusiasts with good overall physical fitness. The Cyr Wheel develops strength, flexibility, concentration, and artistic presence – and is a lot of fun!
Under the guidance of professional circus artist Nikola Fanton, participants will make their first spins with support, humor, and inspiration.
With the financial support of the Sofia Municipality, Calendar of Cultural Events 2025, section “Significant Events.”
