The Circus Academy

I had the best experience planning a private trapeze class for a friend's birthday we are all 25+! Decker and Linda were a pleasure to coordinate with, very organized and responsive. The class itself was great, such a fun experience and everyone loved it. Decker and Yuri were great coaches. Would highly recommend planning an event with the Toronto School of Circus Arts.

Booked a private class as a birthday outing and it was the funnest thing we’ve done in months. Decker and Yuriy were extremely professional, patient, and made sure all of us beginners felt safe. I am not a fan of high-octane events but I’m glad I gave this a shot. Highly recommend!

Went for Friday night Trapeze drop in. Decker and Yuri were super fun! Their confident guidance helped me do a bunch of cool tricks that I was scared to do when arriving. Definitely recommend. Cool date night or evening with friends.

I came to TSCA in the summer of 2015 looking for a fun, alternative workout and fell in love with aerial silks and the flying trapeze! The environment at TSCA is full of positivity and encouragement which makes trying something so completely out of your comfort zone less intimating. Moreover, safety is a big priority at this school and a large part of what you learn involves safety and proper technique in addition to the cool, fun tricks! The high ceilings are fantastic for whatever apparatus you choose to work with and the studio is always clean and tidy. I have met incredible coaches here Decker, Linda, Mark, Bobby, Yuri, the list goes on! and made so many friends through taking classes at TSCA and would HIGHLY recommend this school to everyone.

Decker and his team instilled a love of aerial for my friends and me over many years! They gave knowledgeable experience and can help along your aerial journey! They can help all skill levels and are great assets to have as you hike your skills!

I have been trained by the team at TSCA three times now over the last couple of years specialising in Bungee and Spanish Web and have had the most fun! Big shout out to Decker, Lauren and Nicole who constantly make us feel safe and are very patient with me and cast mates. We have been fortunate in having freedom to learn lots of new 'tricks' and the equipment is very innovative for our unique theatres/stages and of high quality to add to our production shows! I always have a laugh with these coaches and I look forward to the next opportunity to train and develop more skill with them.

I initially started Circus classes here back in 2015, and moved a lot between then and last September. I’ve gone to and done many different circus classes both in Toronto and Montreal, and out of them all TSCA is my absolute favourite! The coaches and owner are wonderful and care so much about everyone’s safety, and really push you to do your absolute best. They also challenge you when they know you are capable of more! The space is huge and you’re able to try so many different things. Highly recommend going here for anyone who wants to casually do some classes or for those who want to go full circus :

Working as a performer for Disney Cruise Line I had the great opportunity to work with Decker and Mark for my job strengthening. They explain how to do things easily and also positively encourage us to work harder to strengthen ourselves. Spanish web is something used for one of our shows on the ship so having a taste of that at our studio encouraged me to come out to the Toronto Circus Arts school myself to try out all the other things that were offered. I really enjoyed doing the trapeze and will definitely be seeing myself going back to it!

Awesome Instructors and Team. Very Organized and focused. Trains according to students ability. Blessed and feeling Happy to meet such Wonderful Teachers and Students : Great School.

Firstly, I signed up my 12 year old boy for a 2018 summer youth trapeze class and it was almost entirely adults. Then, in the 5th class the main instructor the owner of the gym spoke to my son very rudely during the class for a mistake he made. This was my son's first session at the school. The instructor asked to speak to me after the class. During that time he almost entirely directed the conversation towards my 12 year old. Telling him that he was not progressing the way that he should, that he wasn't sure he should return to the class, and that if he doesn't start to listen better and improve he would not be allowed back for the next session. I was in shock and almost left speechless at the time. Granted my son did make a mistake without incident, he understood and did the skill with ease on his next turn. There was no reason for the instructor to speak to him in this manner twice. My son wanted to return for the remainder of the sessions but I decided it was best not too. It was not a good learning environment. I truely believe the owner has no interest in teaching youth!
