As a circus artist, Sanne collaborates with various artists. This is how she developed a wide range of circus perforrmances. There are performances with a story, a high level of circus technique, musicality and a healthy dose of nonsense. There is something to suit every event, and every target group.
A completed professional circus education, work experience as a performer, passion and pleasure for the profession makes her a true circus artist.
More than 20 years of experience makes Sanne a teacher with heaps of knowledge. Currently she gives classes in her favorite circus disciplines. In Rotterdam there is the possibility for adults to follow the weekly classes in partner acrobatics. She also offers duo- and private lessons in the discipline handstands
Sanne enjoys searching for the ideal learning method for the student, so the knowledge can be received and applied. Every student learns differently, that is why Sanne finds teaching interessting and fun!
Sanne has various job activities on project basis as a
circus artist and teacher.
She regularly performs in various circus parades. She is deployable as a circus artist in creative projects such as location theater. And she creates tailor-made circus acts and performances on request. As a teacher, she gives team building workshops with the discipline juggling, and sometimes she gives circus lessons to an entire school!

Classes
Weekly partner acrobatic classes
Learn to trust yourself and others
Grow in communication skills
Become stronger and more flexible
Enjoy playing!
In the weekly partner acrobatic classes you work together with others to balance on each other and move in all kinds of positions. This will make you stronger, more flexible, teach you to orient yourself upside down and learn to relax or contract the right muscles. But the most important thing is that you learn to trust the body, both yours and that of others. You will learn skills in partner acrobatics classes in a playful way. Having fun and safety is our priority.
There are two partner acrobatic groups in two levels: beginner level and intermediate level. The classes take place every Thursday evening in Rotterdam.
Personalized handstand class
Personal attention
Exercises that fit you and your body
Get tools to train by yourself
Make steps to grow!
A personalized handstand class is for you alone, or you and a partner as a duo class. It means that personal attention is guaranteed. We are going to work on strength, to be able to stand upside down. Balance, to hold your body in the upside down position without too much effort you need to train the balance in that position. Shape, there are practical handstand shapes that make it more light and there are pretty and crazy ones. We can work on what you would like. And offcourse we don't forget the importance of the path. How to get into the hadstand, and how to savely exit. Doing a handstand is a true art! To get to this artpiece the separate skills need to melt together, this takes training.
In the class we have a look at what exersices fit you? What is your level in the moment and what are your goals? You can choose to follow a class just for fun, or with a bigger goal: you want to get further in your handstand training.
Sanne Hamstra
There is one special event in my life that had a major impact and has largely shaped me into who I am today. That event was a visit to the circus at the age of 8. I left the circus with a special feeling, I felt a sense of wonder. How was it possible that those people did the impossible?! This is how my love for the circus was born.
I have been involved in circus since I was young. In the circus everything seems limitless. Whatever crazy tricks you imagine, you can try it at the circus! What I enjoy most is the art of collaborating with others and merging multiple ideas into a form. Everything can be used. Bodies and objects are the instruments of circus art. Constantly discovering new possibilities and pushing boundaries is something that never bores me.
I like to melt the found idea’s and tricks into a performance in the creative process. I don't like to stick to one style. I like to be guided by the creativity of that moment. Each performance has its own style. When the time comes for me to perform again, I look forward to playing. No performance day is the same, different location, different place, changing atmospheres. But the great thing is that I always see people who have felt wonder. This is why I keep creating and performing.
As a teacher I teach my favorite circus disciplines: partner acrobatics and handstands. Sometimes I teach adults who never did sports before. The nice thing is whether they have experience with sports, or not. My students continue to amaze themselves. I let my students practice, I explain a lot, we look for the best learning path together and then they are still surprised that they can achieve more than they thought. How fun is that?! I love my job.
Regardless of the fact that my work is my passion, and that I spend an endless amount of time working. I am more than my work. I love company and enjoy being among people, but I can also enjoy a moment alone at home. I like to walk, play board games, enjoy good food and a good movie.
