They helped me find the perfect class, and the courses themselves are exceptionalu2014creative, challenging, and so rewarding. If youu2019re stuck online, just go in person.

“I tried the Mobility & Flexibility class which says itu2019s for all levels, but the instructor had no idea how to modify the movements and eventually just told me to sit some things out. Whatever she had us doing actually decreased my comfortable range of motion in my hip joint for several months. Itu2019s a shame because itu2019s a cool place with interesting programming and this seemed like the most beginner friendly class bu”

“I've had great experiences at Circus Center. I've been taking intro to static trapeze regularly, and occasionally aerial conditioning and other classes, and I love it! It can be challenging if you don't have a base of strength or a little aerial familiarity but you will make progress quickly. I really appreciate the rigorousness of the classes and degree of technical correction/coaching I get at circus center”

“I am a huge fan of the Flying Trapeze program at Circus Center. I showed up on a whim over a year ago (the intro 3-pack is a great deal!) and quickly became a regular. Now I am very sad if I have to go a whole week without flying. The staff are encouraging, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Iu2019ve never been in better shape and have found so, so much joy here!”

“I used to love Circus Center and took classes there for 3+ years, but recently things seem to have gone down hill there. I purchased two class packs last year and completely out of the blue, both of my class packs disappeared on the Momence booking app. When I asked the admin team what happened, they said the packs expired after 1 year. There was ZERO prior warning! I wanted to take Silks L1, but for a long time last”

“Awesome place to unwind and try your limits. We were there for a birthday party and got to try the flying trapeze and some acrobatics, like balancing, mini trampoline and human pyramids. My muscles are still sore three days later, but we had a great time. The instructors were patient, informative, supportive and fun. All in all, I will definitely be back for more at some point ud83dude42”
