The handstand weekend you've been looking for

Two full days of focused handstand training in Valencia's professional circus school — Espai de Circ. All levels, small groups, world-class teachers, vegan food, outdoor jams, and a community of people who are as obsessed with handstands as you are.

Whether you can't yet hold a handstand or you're chasing a one-arm, there's a workshop built for exactly where you are. You choose 4 sessions — two each day — across 4 workshop blocks, each offering beginner, intermediate, advanced and open-level options simultaneously.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

16 workshops · 4 blocks

Four dedicated workshop blocks, each with four two-hour sessions running simultaneously. You pick one per block — two each day.

🌍

International & local teachers

Small-group sessions with professional handbalancers and circus artists from across Europe. Real coaching, real feedback.

🧘

Warm-ups & physical prep

Group warm-ups, pre-hab, handstand-specific flexibility and conditioning built into every day.

🛠

All training equipment

Mats, canes, blocks and specialist equipment. Full access to Espai de Circ's circus school facilities throughout.

🥗

Vegan lunches both days

Daily hearty vegan lunches, healthy snacks and fruit, unlimited coffee and teas — and a traditional Valencian Paella on Sunday.

📸

Outdoor jams & photoshoots

Professional photoshoots and handstand jams at Valencia's parks, beaches and iconic locations. Memories included.

All four levels run simultaneously

Every workshop block has a session for every level. You're never in the wrong room.

Level 1

Beginner

You can't yet hold a freestanding handstand. Working on kick-up, wall holds and building the foundations.

Level 2

Intermediate

You can handstand freestanding. Working on balance, consistency, shapes and entries.

Level 3

Advanced

You're working towards or can hold a one-arm. Exploring presses, canes, shapes and longer holds.

All levels

Open

Community-focused sessions — creative, expressive, or theme-based. Everyone is welcome.
