Corporate wellness workshops

Our circus workshops are tailored to your group's goals—whether you want to relax, challenge yourselves, or strengthen team spirit. You can try your hand at aerial acrobatics, trampolining, juggling, balancing, or hula hooping. We can create a diverse multi-discipline session or focus on one or two specific skills. These guided workshops are inspiring and suitable for all fitness levels. They also make fantastic programs for birthday parties or bachelor(ette) celebrations.

Circus education, performances, and workshops with a big heart

Since 2021, Kuopio Circus has provided basic education in the arts. Every week, 400 enthusiasts train with us across 43 different groups. Our mission is to provide children and young people with a versatile, safe, and community-oriented art hobby—without ever forgetting the fun.

Kuopio Circus trains at Bellacenter, in the heart of the city’s newest developing tourism hub. Our three large, well-equipped training halls serve hobbyists in the evenings and professionals during the day. The space also transforms into an intimate circus stage for performances.
