  • "After taking trapeze and silks lessons for years, I was looking for a way to continue during university away from home. I have had a few silks lessons with Alissa at Paragym, and she is wonderful! Very receptive of my skill level, always prioritizes safety, and creates a fun and relaxing atmosphere to challenge yourself! 🙂"

    Lillian Glushka

  • "Representing Soeurs des Sables, we are very satisfied with our experience with both CirQu and Alissa, communication was fast and reliable. Very professionnal. As dancers it's very important for us to interact with the public and have a great time, which we had. Thank you so much for the opportunity!"

    Mariana Montoya

  • "Alissa created a positive and encouraging atmosphere that made me feel safe and capable of trying new, sometimes scary and challenging things. Her belief in me increased my confidence enough that in just a few classes she taught me three different drops and two new climbs!"

    Mimi Morin & Mila age 11

  • "Had a great experience at the drop-in aerial class with Alissa, despite having absolutely no experience whatsoever. I felt well supported, safe, not too lost and especially had a great work-out! I will definitely be back 🙂"

    Ma Terre Grazraru

  • "What a great day with Alissa on Sunday. Totally new to silks but she made us feel at ease. Such a fun way to get fit. Can’t wait to join in for the rest of the season!"

    Dawn Hunter

  • "I just completed a 6-week course with Alissa. I have some experience with aerials but was severely out of practice! She was so responsive to our class as a whole and was able to make customized lesson plans and home-work out plans based on our individual needs and desires. She was very informative, encouraging, and communicative! 💪🎪🤸‍♀️"

    Joe Smith

  • "Très belle activitĂ© originale et crĂ©ative pour le bachelorette de notre amie! La durĂ©e de 1h30 est parfaite pour apprendre la base sans trop s'Ă©puiser. La prof est super gentille et nous encourage beaucoup dans nos "prouesses". Ambiance dĂ©contractĂ©e et amusante. Lieu facilement accessible en auto, transport en commun et Bixi. Je recommande ! !"

    Catherine Chi

  • "We had a company party and we had a BLAST! The entertainment was fun and pushed the envelope! The hands on experience has the young and old feeling all feeling like kids again. I would HIGHLY recommend CirQus to anyone looking to have an amazing experience!!!"
