Dallas Circus Center

My daughter attended the hoop session tonight as one of the experiences she will be having as a Christmas present. The class was the perfect size, the instructor was amazing, and she had a wonderful experience. She was able to feel confident, comfortable and accomplished at the end of the session. She can’t wait to go back to try the flying trapeze session next. We highly recommend the Dallas Circus Center for a different and memorable experience!

My 12-year old grandson flew on the trapeze for the first time today. The staff at the Dallas Circus Center were terrific - encouraging and giving helpful hints to help him improve with each flight. At all times, he was kept safely harnessed by at least two straps. Two professionals were keeping an eye on his progress as well. Of course there was the safety net under all of the trapeze artists. I would strongly suggest that you give this activity a try.

As a professional circus artist, I have visited many circus and trapeze schools around the world, from Japan to several in the US along my tours. Dallas Circus Center has one thing that sticks out the most amongst all the others. The distinct circus-feel tent set upon shipping containers not only feels like “home” in a tent but also provides a higher and more accessible space to accommodate aerials as well as the marquee activity, flying trapeze. The shipping container not only act as a base to elevate the tent structure an additional 9 feet, but they also are useful spaces as the check in and merch lobby, bathrooms (and a SHOWER!), equipment storage, party/guest lounge area, employee room and a fabrication shop where the owner, Donovan, builds and maintains much of the hardware and equipment used on site. He has a background in general contracting and a degree in engineering so we is very knowledgeable and clever about how he designed and built this facility. No space is wasted and it has ample parking for the multiple quarterly performances they provide with their students, staff and even professional artists entertaining the city of Dallas and it’s neighbors. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to try something extremely fun and challenging but also in an inviting atmosphere. Book ahead though, because classes can fill up quickly!

I was there this past Saturday with a group of ladies for the beginner trapeze class. We all had a wonderful time. The staff were encouraging and supportive of each of our abilities. I had a hard time hearing some of the cues, but I'm a bit older than the other ladies so it may have just been me. I was really impressed with the facility and I would totally recommend this to anyone who is open to challenging themselves or just wants to do something a little adventurous. Some in our group were afraid of heights and were still able to at least swing across and drop to the net. Everything is set up very safe and instructions were given on when to make certain moves if you chose to try them. Highly recommend!

A Whirlwind Adventure in the Sky: Trapeze Class Delivers Soaring Fun! I recently had the exhilarating experience of taking a trapeze class with my Granddaughter, and I can't stop raving about how incredible it was! From the moment I stepped onto the platform to the final swing back to solid ground, every moment was filled with excitement! The instructors were not only highly skilled but also incredibly encouraging. They created a supportive and fun atmosphere, making even the most nervous participants feel at ease (including us). Their expertise shone through as they guided us through each step of the process and made the whole experience for first timers a breeze! The feeling of swinging through the air, supported only by the trapeze and a safety harness, is indescribable. The progression of skills was well-paced, allowing everyone to challenge themselves at their own comfort level. My Granddaughter mastered all three tricks and I even managed two out of three. It was a fantastic bonding experience for us and a memory we will never forget! If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend trying a trapeze class. It's an absolute blast that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for both the exhilaration of flight and the awesome staff that made it so much fun. Don't hesitate – take the leap and soar to new heights with any of the classes as I will for sure be back! I would love to try their silks class as we arrived early and caught a glimpse of it. It looked like so much fun! This was the first Grandchild that I’ve taken here, and I can’t wait to come and do it again with the next one! Thank you to all of the staff for helping us make such a wonderful memory that we will never forget!

What an amazing experience! Jordan, Valentina, and Bill were absolutely wonderful. They were patient, motivating, professional, and went out of their way to encourage your growth in a short period of time. They’re clearly versed in working with young kids and grown adults and adjusting expectations based on the individual. Will definitely visit again. Thank you for a great time!
