Do you love being active and feeling the adrenaline rush of performing on stage? Maybe you see a future in circus, performing arts or dance? Then this is the course for you!

Movement X Modern Circus is the only circus course in Norway accredited by FEDEC (the European Federation of Professional Circus Schools). Here, you’ll use your body every day, challenge yourself and learn new skills. You will dive into a wide range of circus disciplines with focus on mobility, strength and concentration. This is a great starting point for further studies or careers in circus or theatre. 

Teaching is practical and varied. You’ll work a lot on technique, and your teachers will follow you closely to ensure progress. We start with basic exercises and gradually move on to more advanced tricks, always within safe and secure conditions.

You’ll get to try:
🤸 Aerial acrobatics in trapeze, ring/lyra, rope, tissu and Chinese pole
🦸 Floor acrobatic and trampoline
🤹‍♂️ Juggling and diabolo
💪 Regular strength, cardio and mobility training 

You'll also take part in: 
🎥 Performances and shows throughout the year
✈️ Study trip to Europe to visit circus schools and experience circus culture
🏄‍♂️ Short trips to hidden gems nearby

Through different electives, you can shape your own timetable and focus on what you want to develop further, whether it’s HIIT training, yoga or something completely different like swimming, horse riding or barista.

Although we love to train, we also care about balance. You’ll experience all the best parts of folk high school life, with fun activities, unforgettablemoments and new friendships.

With nine main courses and over twenty electives, you can spend the year doing what matters to you.

You’ll challenge yourself and find your own path. Maybe you want to grow stronger, both physically and mentally? Perhaps you’d like to sew your own jacket, spend your days with horses, explore Viking history or learn how to save lives?

Whatever course you choose, you’ll meet teachers who love what they do and care about their students. They’re skilled, genuine and ready to guide you so you can get the most out of your year with us.

Our folk high school lies between the wild coastline of Stad and the mighty Jostedalsbreen glacier. Nordfjordeid is just the right size. Big enough to offer what you need, yet small enough to feel personal and close.

If you want to uncover hidden gems in Norway and beyond, this is the place. You’ll experience the best of Western Norway, from surfing and swimming in Hoddevika to hiking and kayaking in breathtaking nature.

In the middle of winter, we head to the Philippines for sunshine, warmth and white beaches. You might snorkel with turtles, sleep in a beach bungalow or go island-hopping. You’ll also meet locals and experience a different way of life that stays with you long after the trip.
