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."

"This place is crazy and awesome! Never imagined the workout I would get attending a trapeze class. The staff is great and assists beginners every step of the way! I always felt safe and the adrenaline rush was like riding a roller coaster for the first time. Took me 2 classes to successfully do a transfer, proof attached!"

"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!"

"This was a surprise birthday present for me. The staff was helpful, encouraging, and knowledgeable. I was a complete novice, but by the end I made it up to hanging upside down and a catch. The only thing that was bad is I got some rope burn on my calves from hanging on to the bar with my legs."
