The handstand weekend you've been looking for

Two full days of focused handstand training in Valencia's professional circus school โ€” 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 โ€” two each day โ€” across 4 workshop blocks, each offering beginner, intermediate, advanced and open-level options simultaneously.

Five editions. The same verdict.

Well organised, experienced teachers, fun classes โ€” and Thai massage at the end of the day. This is what a handstand event should be.
