During the coronavirus lockdown, Jacksons Lane's youth circus sessions have gone online as the JL Circus Quarantine Sessions. We now have two terms and over 20 videos packed full of exciting tricks and skills for you to learn, right from the comfort of your home!

JL Circus's facilitators, professional circus artists Kaveh, Dan and Miles, have been busy teaching circus skills through the small screen. Above, you'll see the latest episode - but find all our lessons on our Youtube channel.

If you're not a regular JL Circus participant - no worries, watch along and practice with us!

JL Circus Haringey is funded by Children in Need. You can find more information about JL Circus here.

Quarantine Sessions Presents: Circus stretching routine with aerialist Jackie Le

International Circus Artist Jackie Le has filmed an all-important stretching routine to help you all stay comfortable and flexible during those long hours of homeschooling.

Appropriate for all ages, but for younger participants make sure you are supervised by an adult.
