We’ve recently starting running classes in a new location, for kids & adults who want to learn circus but haven’t been able to make it to our Hornsby venue. We’ve been lucky enough to find a beautiful big hall for these classes! You’ll be able to learn trapeze, aerial ring or silks on our portable aerial rig, or spread out for hooping, juggling and acrobalance.

More About Us

Circus Akimbo started in 2013, with the goal of providing a friendly and fun space for people of all ages to experience the wonder of circus. Our students come from all walks of life, drawn to circus as a place where they can explore challenges, learn appropriate risk taking and build lifelong friendships along with impressive skills.

From humble roots with just one weekly class at Asquith Community Centre in our first term, Circus Akimbo has since grown into a thriving local business offering weekly classes, holiday programs, playgroup, parties and workshops 7 days a week in our Hornsby studio and additional weekly classes in Willoughby.

Our trainers are all passionate about circus and love sharing their passion & knowledge with the students they teach.
