MSA & Circus Arts

Very disappointing, I took my 4 year child to a birthday party here and from the get go, a male instructor continually hollered at him when he wasn’t doing anything different than the other rambunctious and excited children. Then, he pushed him off the mat towards me for a «time out.» The instructors had only two activities going on for about 20 kids, so needless to say, the kids were getting antsy, the last straw was when he grabbed my child’s wrist twice for being silly and excited, needless to say we left mid-​party. We will never visit this place again.

My kids took classes here over the summer and I really didn’t like how abrasive they were with the children. Thirteen months later a little girl, we are very good friends with, had her birthday party there. The way this man spoke to the children was outrageous. I wouldn’t speak to circus animals that way. When the party went eight minutes over schedule, he verbally assaulted the entire group of children. The age range was five to nine, little elementary school kids. Never ever ever again will I have anything to do with this place.

What a hidden gem in this city! Our daughter had attended a few classes here (and recently enrolled in a cheer course.) MSA just hosted her 5^th birthday party which had about 40 kids participate and 30+ parents looking on. The owners were as friendly and accommodating as any could be. They helped with both set-​up and clean-​up, were very communicative and highly responsive before and throughout the event. The children were well looked after by instructors who were not only keeping the kids safe, but also guiding them in how to perform the various activities. Everyone displayed amazing patience (try to teach a 5 year old how to juggle some time) and sensitivity in dealing with what in other venues may have resulted in chaos. Instead, the event was a great success, and we certainly feel comfortable in having our daughter be trained by these professionals. Thank you, MSA.

This place is so great. My dream was to learn to do a back flip, and while I still can’t do one, after four Saturdays of classes I can do a perfect cartwheel and a handstand no problem. You can take tumbling classes or actual circus performing classes. I was exposed to so many things here, from trampoline to gymnastics to hoisting a petite lady up in the air with her feet resting on my hands.
I mean circus stuff may sound kinda lame, but for anyone who thinks they are in shape, I challenge them to do these classes. It works a totally different group of muscles you have probably never used before. Very comfortable and for some reason has a much more attractive clientele than any martial arts academy I have been to. hmmmm…
