Toronto’s West End

Okay, so technically this is a circus school and not a gymnastic studio but depending on your children’s interests, it might be the perfect place for them. Classes are available for toddler age to adulthood and cover such skills as acrobats, silks and trampoline. There’s also the Ninjability program that’s, “Perfect for kids who want to run, climb, and jump!” Cirque-ability is currently located at 213 Sterling Rd (near Bloor and Lansdowne) but will be moving to a new, to-be-announced home in the same neighbourhood in a few months’ time.
