And now for something completely different…read more.. I had a good friend visiting from out of town who has always been a bit of a daredevil. Recently she's gotten into trapeze lessons. Apparently us Montrealers don't know how lucky we are to have three trapeze schools in one city. In Calgary, where she lives, there is only one and its seasonal. So upon her insistence we signed up for a 2 hour afternoon lesson at Chateau du Cirque. It's in an old movie theatre on St Denis near the Jean Talon market. The people were super friendly and welcoming and the instructors were very patient. Our class was a mix of newbies and more experienced people. The class felt very safe as you were always connected to a safety line. By the end of a two hour class I was able to complete a basic trick of hanging by my knees from the bar and catching the wrists of the catcher on another bar. This is a really fun and non intimidating place to try out a circus class, I definitely recommend it for a unique outing with family or friends. Just FYI two days after the class my shoulders are killing me... but totally worth it.

So here's the thing: I'm afraid of heights. I'm not talking regular afraid of heights- I'm talking…read moremy knees give out while I'm in line for roller coasters and I occasionally I may go blind if my heart begins to race too quickly. That being said, it was a hell of a Saturday fun-tivity for me to attend my friend's flying trapeze class birthday party (it's good to challenge yourself, no?). First of all, the space is really interesting; appended to a large gospel church, the hall offers a large trapeze area and ample space for all other circus practices, as well as a large bleacher/seating area. Throughout our visit they had chill beats going with a giant projector screening old Cirque du Soleil videos. Imma just say it- I felt really cool being there. Speaking to the price, you really get what you pay for here. For two hours it's $300 which isn't half bad because you can really bring a sizeable group, making it quite affordable. The one suggestion I would have however is perhaps if they had a staff member who took photos during the party- it's pretty impressive stuff for the average person so I feel like they would up their marketing game with more in-house done photos. The first hour of the class was main-à-main activities (basic circus mounts) which I LOVED. Everything was explained well and the instructors assisted us all individually in getting the mounts right. In this spirit, I have to say the staff is fantastic. If I counted correctly we had at least five different staff members who were available for us during the two-hour period, all to ourselves. All of them were bilingual and incredibly talented, friendly and helpful. With this, after I finally got the gumption to climb the tall tall ladder up to the trapeze platform I had two very sweet circus performers to talk me down from a doozie of a panic attack. As luck would have it, I did manage to jump off the platform and successfully trapezed (high up in the air, I am proud to say!). I didn't muster the courage to go up again, but there's always next time!

Horrible customer service. I've not had any issue with them, completing my classes and being very…read morehappy, until an employee has been unprofessional when I brought up a complaint. It upset me, and realizing it is not a good mood to continue the conversation, I asked for it to stop and be continued another time. The employee continued speaking to me without ANY acknowledgment of issue in question, continuously aggravating me before my driving class. I even mentioned I do not wish to be in a bad mood when driving as it is dangerous. To top it off, the owner called me and without any questions or trying to hear my side of story, proceeded gaslighting me and blaming me, giving me a lecture about how I was wrong. I never met this man and he was not there during the incident. Overall a horrible experience, which is unfortunate, as I did not have any other issues with other employees, the instructors. They were very polite, helpful and professional. It is clear that the problem stems from the owner and the management as they simply do not know how to speak to a client in a difficult situation and instead wish to upset the client even more.
