Circus offers scholarships

Brophy Circus Academy will be offering a scholarship scheme for teens and adults, according to Brophy productions owner Mr Ashley Brophy.

"Brophy Circus Academy has been running classes at the Peninsula Community Centre for the past three weeks," Mr Brophy said.

Mr Brophy said Ms Fiona Miller from Youth Services at the Gosford Council had organised funding through the Department of Sports and Recreation to support the circus academy setting up a scholarship scheme.

"For the scholarships, we are looking for young people who are enthusiastic, hard working, may have a back ground in dance, gymnastics, brake dancing, or skate boarding.

"Brophy Academy specialises in many circus arts including the aerial silks, trapeze and aerial hoops, floor activities such as the German wheel, tumbling, and fire twirling.

"This is a fun and interesting way to keep fit, meet people and even make a profession out of it."

An open day for teens and adults will be held on Friday, March 17, at 6pm at the community centre.

For more information, contact the centre or just turn up.
