Perhosvoltti Acrobatics & Circus Arts

Perhosvoltti Acrobatics and Circus Arts is a specialist circus acrobatics school in Helsinki’s Suutarila district, founded in 2013 by professional circus artist Olia Vahtola. With over 30 years of international performance and training experience — including studies in France, Sweden, and Ukraine — Olia brings world-class expertise to every class.

The school offers structured acrobatics and circus arts instruction for children aged 4–15 and adults. The program includes semester group classes, parent-child acrobatics (ages 4–6), mini acrobatics (ages 5–6), circus acrobatics with a progressive skill card system (ages 7–15), aerial acrobatics, private lessons, small group sessions, intensive workshops, and summer camps. Class sizes are kept small — typically 4 to 15 students — to ensure individual attention and safe skill progression.

Private lessons and small group sessions are available for all ages, including adults looking to develop handstand, flexibility, and acrobatic skills. Trial classes are also offered for newcomers.

Classes run Monday through Sunday. Weekday group classes take place between 16.00 and 20.00. Private lessons and small group sessions are available on weekdays, weekends, and Sunday mornings. Summer camps run in June.
