Vulcana Women’s Circus

Set up in the stores building at the bottom of the Powerhouse is Vulcana Women’s Circus… And it’s pretty much the coolest place you will ever go. Women’s only fitness and performance classes based on circus apparatus… Seriously? So many shades of awesome.
Vulcana has classes ranging from very beginners to advanced professionals. There are aerial classes, acro classes, general circus classes (think plate spinning and cartwheels) and even wall dance classes (yes, you actually get to dance on a wall. It is magical…)
The classes are run in blocks of 6 – 10 weeks that generally coincide with the school terms and all classes can be booked via their website. It may seem a bit crazy to drop $ 300 on 8 weeks of circus classes, but you really do need more than 1 or 2 weeks to get the hang of it — and trust me, it’s absolutely amazing and you will get addicted!
Vulcana also regularly has performances based at the Powerhouse. These are often done in the form of cabarets (think a bunch of small performances put into one big show) and are community theatre based. If you like something a little bit quirky with a message behind it then these shows are for you.
