About the Workshop
What if your child could spend four days learning to defy gravity — building from floor-based acrobatics all the way up to aerial silks? Fly High is exactly that.
The Starbrite Acro Summer School takes children aged 7–16 on a four-day journey inspired by the energy of The Greatest Showman. Every day brings new challenges, new achievements and the kind of excitement that has children asking to come back year after year.
What Happens Each Day
Monday 27th July — Ground Work
Day one begins on the floor. Rolls, cartwheels, handstands and the building blocks of everything that comes next. Trust games and body awareness exercises set the tone for the week. Inspired by The Greatest Showman.
🎨 Craft break: Design your own Greatest Show circus poster
Tuesday 28th July — Partner Work
The magic of acrobatics is working with someone else. Base and flyer introductions, partner balances and group shapes — children discover what they can achieve together. Inspired by Cirque du Soleil.
🎨 Craft break: Design your acro act name and logo
Wednesday 29th July — Rise Up
Time to leave the floor behind! Tumble track sequences and an introduction to aerial silks — grip, foot locks and first climbs. Children begin linking skills into sequences. Inspired by Aladdin.
🎨 Craft break: Islamic-inspired geometric tile patterns with felt tips
Thursday 30th July — Sky High
The final day brings everything together — more silks, refined sequences and a full group skills sharing session. Every child leaves with a Fly High certificate celebrating everything they have achieved across the week.
🎨 Craft break: Watercolour sky card to take home as a memento
