| - So here's an update on Cirque-ability: still totally awesome!
I ended up taking the Beginner Acro class for the fall term... the same class that Linda (see Linda M's review) ended up joining. It was a blast every week. Heather is a great coach, very patient and good at breaking skills down into their components so even if you can't get a handstand, headstand, cartwheel or bridge yet, you can still practice the skills needed to eventually get it. Heather's also very patient with beginners! I've also had classes with her husband, Maleke, who is also a great coach with a good sense of humour. And you develop camaraderie with your fellow students, cheering each other on every week. Having small class sizes really helps for that!
You certainly do develop skills each week! Even us old people (read: adults) who haven't done any of this sort of stuff since we were 10 can make progress. I'm more flexible now than when I started in September, and I've made progress on headstands, handstands and bridges. I'm hoping that in the upcoming winter term I'll finally be able to get a cartwheel, woohoo!
And yes, it's still fun! Highly recommended. In fact, I like this place so much I've signed up for an Aerial class for the winter term - static trapeze, here I come!
