INAC's contemporary circus professional education program aims to stimulate and train young circus artists at a high technical and artistic level. In addition to risk, poetry, and humor, we believe that technical excellence and virtuosity sustain the various forms of contemporary circus.


INAC fills the gap in contemporary circus studies in Portugal, believing that, in the future, exceptional artists will create exceptional art.

INAC's Circo à Noite program is a recreational program of regular circus classes for all ages.

These classes take place throughout the school term, 1 or 2 times a week. They are taught by experienced trainers and allow all kinds of people to get closer to the magic of the circus universe.

CHILDREN
In these classes children will have the opportunity to experiment, train and create with all the circus disciplines.
There is a focus on object manipulation, balancing, aerial acrobatics, and ground acrobatics.
These classes take place in two modalities:
- Baby Circus for children from 3 to 6 years old
- Circus Kids for children from 6 to 12 years old.

FAMILIES
The main goal of the Family Circus classes is to create a moment and an activity within the family environment. Based on the idea of circus family, in this class fathers, mothers, children, other relatives and friends have the opportunity to enjoy together creative games where circus techniques are the main tool for communication and learning.

ADULTS AND YOUNG PEOPLE
The classes are divided into physical preparation, flexibility, and technique on the apparatus/discipline.
They offer a possibility of regular activity for people who seek a physical activity with an artistic character.
At the end of the school year our students have the opportunity to publicly present what they have learned through a collective or individual creation.

DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES

AERIAL ACROBATICS
The main objective of aerial acrobatics is to endow the student with a basic knowledge of the main circus aerial devices: trapeze, lyre, rope, and fabric.

GROUND ACROBATICS
In floor acrobatics, the student will have the opportunity to work all the acrobatic movements from the simplest somersaults and cartwheels to complex mortals, pins and flics.
INAC has a practice area, airtrack, trampoline, and pit. Classes will be divided by physical preparation, flexibility, ground technique and trampoline/airtrack technique.

JUGGLING AND BALANCING
The main goal of the balance and juggling classes is to provide the student with basic knowledge of the main manipulation objects and balance devices (balls,
masses, arches, unicycle, wire, among others).
