Circus Glory Trapeze School - Primrose Hill

Circus Glory is brilliant circus school run by Genevieve Monastesse. I attend static trapeze classes there. Not only are they enormous fun, they are also a great way to keep fit. Genevieve is a fantastic teacher with tremendous knowledge of aerial techniques. It's a very friendly place where everyone is made to feel welcome. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Circus glory is a brilliant trapeze and aerial arts school. My kids have been attending since the age of 2 and a half and absolutely love it. They are now 9 and 7 years old. I was nervous to start it as an adult but really wanted too after watching my little ones do it. I finally plucked up the courage 4 years ago and have never looked back. Genevieve is an absolutely great teacher and technically the best I've had. It's always great fun and everyone is really encouraging as well. Would definitely highly recommend trying it out especially at CIRCUS GLORY!!!

We attended the first week Circus Glory reopened. They had adhered to all government guidance to mitigate risks (thank you). The workshop was great with brilliant accommodation of varied level of fitness and ability (plus age). We all came out very excited and with a sense of accomplishment. Would highly recommend Circus Glory.

Wonderful gem in London! My son and daughter have been coming to children classes since they were toddlers (now in their late teens). The classes are very professional and safe, big crushmats in place. Parents can watch a class from the window/door area.
The teacher is very experienced and fantastic with kids; taught my children not only a fantastic physical activity (and burning their excess energy!) but also wonderful mental skills like ability to listen, focus and have a self-belief.
It is also nice to get to know other parents and have ability to socialise while children are left to play and bond.
The school has been around for over 20 years and we absolutely couldn't be without it! Highly recommend!

My son Jack (4) has been coming to trapeze for a year now and he absolutely loves the classes and Genevieve. Unlike football or ballet there is no gender bias to trapeze. The children build up core strength and learn new skills. Best of all it is a lot of fun. Genevieve has a gift ,not only for trapeze and teaching but also working with people, children in particular.

The class was challenging, hard but fun. The cold and rather distant teaching of Genevieve was a new style to my many years of training under various coaches but why not? Alwas looking for a challenge, I decided to sign up for the package of 4. Instructor and business owner Genevieve contacted me 2 days later telling me I was booked for the 4 Wednesdays in a row. I mentioned I ‘d probably be away for the last two and would have to reschedule. After a very brief exchange she asked my details to refund my payment claiming the package of 4 classes had to be redeemed within 5 weeks. A fact that was not written anywhere on her page at the time (she added it since). I was offered to top up my payments for non restricted class limit. When I fail to agree to that option because frankly I found it unfair, nowhere was it mentionned, the last solution Genevieve saw was a refund. She probably felt relieved not to have a mature beginner woman who needed help with climbing on the trapeze in her class. She should add a disclaimer on her page: “mature beginner women struggling to do the exercises not welcome”. Shame.

My daughter loved her birthday party with Circus Glory - as did her friends. Well organised, safe and a lot of fun.

I took my 3 year old to a class here and found the teacher lacking in early years teaching skills.

My child was upset because she was shouting at the children and another child was extremely upset and not allowed to see their mum. Parents were not allowed to watch the class either and I would imagine for such a young age group this would be encouraged.

It is a shame, because the class itself seemed to be set up well and was in a nice location. I would definitely not attend this again or advise parents to take their young children.
