What to expect

Where Young Athletes Discover Their Potential

Welcome to the heart of Perhosvoltti's youth training program! Our Circus Acro classes for ages 7-10 blend acrobatics, aerial arts, and circus skills into a comprehensive program that builds strength, flexibility, confidence, and artistry.

Two Progressive Levels

Acro Basics (Levels 1-2)
Perfect for beginners and developing acrobats. Students master foundational skills including somersaults, bridges, cartwheels, handstands, and basic aerial elements. Our proven level card system provides clear goals and visible progress tracking.

Acro Intermediate (Levels 3-4)
For students ready to advance beyond basics. Focus shifts to complex combinations, increased aerial work (trapeze and fabric), partner acrobatics introduction, and performance-quality execution.

What Your Child Will Learn

  • Progressive acrobatics from beginner through intermediate levels
  • Handstand mastery - from wall-assisted to walking on hands
  • Flexibility and bridge variations leading to backbends
  • Aerial acrobatics on trapeze and fabric
  • Circus props (juggling, balance equipment, hoops)
  • Strength conditioning specifically for acrobatics
  • Body awareness, coordination, and spatial intelligence
  • Confidence, perseverance, and goal-setting skills

The Perhosvoltti Difference

Structured Progression - Our level card system ensures every child progresses safely at their own pace. Students see exactly what skills they're working toward and celebrate each achievement with take-home level cards.

Individual Attention - Small class sizes (maximum 12 students) mean your child receives personalized corrections and encouragement, even in a group setting.

Professional Instruction - Learn from Olia Vahtola, professional circus artist with 30+ years of experience and international training from France, Sweden, and Ukraine.

Safety First - Progressive skill building, professional equipment, and age-appropriate methodology ensure your child trains safely while being challenged.

Flexible Schedule - Classes offered multiple days per week. Choose one or two weekly sessions that fit your family's schedule. Multiple time slots available Monday through Saturday.

It was an absolutely amazing class, the girls were over the moon when they told us at home how fun it was 👌 absolutely wonderful!! Thank you so much.
Not everyone needs to become acrobats, but it was an absolutely amazing experience for them and they really liked you, and that success and joy.
