I would give more stars if I could!!! The Academy is the most welcoming, inclusive, safe and positive space we have ever had the pleasure of being a part of! The coaches are experienced, professional and kind. They focus on each childs personal growth and goals, and are so encouraging! The owner Meaghan, is lovely and ensures all of these values are always upheld! The Academy is truly like a second family to us, and we are so greatful to have found it
We love The Academy! My daughter danced for years but was sold on circus after her first day of a summer camp run by The Academy. The program is designed to create well rounded, skilled circus performers. Individuality and creativity are valued. My daughter has found connection with her coaches and friends, giving her much more confidence and a sense of belonging. Meaghan and Tim are amazing! They have a passion for sharing their knowledge and a true love of performance and creation. Meaghan is one of the most caring and genuine people I’ve ever met. I love the positive energy of The Academy, and highly recommend them!
Truly an amazing experience! The teachers are really talented and focus on helping your little ones build skills. They also have a really great alternative schooling program. Wonderful for active little boys
Not a huge fan of this place for Cirque training for various reasons. For the positives, the facility is very clean, their attention to safe rigging is amazing and, on the whole, their teaching staff are friendly and approachable not owner Meaghan. When kids are being trained on the aerial apparatuses, there is strong attention to detail with movements and foot wraps, which makes their students more comfortable especially since they are hanging upside down or doing drops. Now for the Negative First: I agree with the other negative review on the dance vs cirque training. I also signed my child up for Cirque classes as they take dance elsewhere which is frowned upon by Meaghan. However, there was very little time that my child was actually on an aerial apparatus. During parent viewing sessions, it became apparent that there are way too many kids in the gym at once with not enough apparatuses. Therefore, other sessions dance, juggling, ribbon twirling, roller skating, etc are added so every kid has something to do and all groups rec & team can rotate through the aerial apparatuses. Either more equipment is needed or there needs to be less kids using the space at any given time. With too many activities, the majority of kids are not getting a lot of training on the aerial apparatuses. The focus is quantity over quality. Classes need to be smaller and the owner should be focusing on fewer activities. Since their instruction on the aerial apparatuses is so well done, it would be nice if the kids could get more of it. Second: While attending performances, including NFLD, only a few kids are chosen to actually perform on the aerial apparatuses. If you're not one of the few chosen, you're a floor warmer/dancer, which is a waste of money. Especially since the dance training here is not great. The owner, Meaghan, also likes to bring in "ringers" to perform with the group who get a lot of the spotlight, however, are not actual students. They are quasi professionals/teachers some not even with her group. This includes at dance competitions in town. Instead she should be using more of her own students and not always the same ones. Third: If you have a lot of money to spend like thousands a month, you get great, personalized training and more opportunities. This is not advertised of course and honestly, not many people have the funds to do this, but the owner will focus on these select kids and their friends and give them very focused training/endless opportunities. The problem with this, is it has created a very parent controlled organization. This is where a few parents by this I mean under 10 have a lot of say and persuasion over the owner Meaghan. To the point where these few parents and their children are allowed to bully other kids, act disrespectful in class, and go so far as to setup petitions to remove staff, harass people through social media and demand opportunities/attention away from other students. Meaghan turns a blind eye to these issues, because well "money talks". This has really only become a problem over this last year as compared to previous years. Multiple parents have brought up issues and Meaghan claims "there's no proof it's happening." But when people try to give proof, she ignores you. Meaghan needs to listen to ALL parent concerns not just the ones with money, focus her training more on aerial apparatuses, and get a handle on the parents/kids who are issues in the group. Fixing these issues, would make this place a good training facility in Cirque aerial apparatuses.
Fully equipped and dedicated spaces for arial, dance, and circus arts all in one location. Bright and spacious training areas with the best equipment, and multiple safe riggings. All classes are taught by exceptionally talented, highly qualified staff who are internationally certified under the careful direction of former Cirque du Soleil artist Meaghan Wegg. The Academy boasts a wide range of offerings from strong technical training for every age and interest, to professional caliber shows, exams, and competitions for those seeking additional opportunities. What sets this training facility apart from all others is the kind and conscientious way in which all staff celebrate each student while developing their personal goals, strength, range of motion, and breadth of emotion. While some students may move on to professional careers in cirque or dance, and others will be able to easily transfer into other arts or sports, all will most definitely be moved and move others due to the incredible role modelling found at The Academy.
Signed my daughter up for a “circus” program but she ended up in a “dance” program significantly more dance classes then circus classes after identifying this within a month of the program starting and asking for her to just participate in the circus part I was advised I have entered into a 10 month commitment. I was told slight modifications would be made and that didn’t happen. After nearly monthly meetings over dissatisfaction of the classes itself I was advised next year I can enroll my child into just the classes she wanted. After signing the agreement during the information session and being asked for a payment for next years classes we didn’t make payment because we needed to discuss which ones/how much it would cost the schedule never came. When I inquired for the schedule so we can pick I was advised by The Academy that their program doesn’t meet our needs and we aren’t happy with it and they will not re-enroll my child. After speaking with the owner Tim he advised there were rumours I have been “gossiping” about their program, when asked for proof advised he didn’t have any. When offered to show him any communication with the person in question to prove the allegations wrong that was denied. Tim advised they only want allies for their business. During our 2 years at the academy I was asked to babysit the owners children countless times which I did on many occasions free of charge, I have promoted The Academy on social media through my own pages or recommending on groups, donating time or supplies to the business, painting an apparatus to refresh it with my own time and money, volunteering for multiple projects not limited to chaperoning a trip with multiple students to Nfld bringing the owners family or team food during long days or times that one owner was away or having my child assist Meaghan in demonstrations for her other businesses free of charge while paying over $500 a month for training and “extras” Please beware that you can literally give this business everything and it makes no difference if you attempt to advocate for your child and their needs.
My child looks forward to her class every week and we have been so happy with the teachers and instruction she has received :
World class director, Cirque du Soleil performer and choreographer, Meaghan Wegg has created the safest training facility, engineer certified and professionally rigged and set the industry standard for circus arts training. Whether you are a beginner, developing, elite artist or a professional performer, there is a program for you. Most importantly, the coaching staff truly care about the growth and development of everyone who trains with The Academy. The sky is the limit and the opportunities are endless.
My daughter Iooks forward to her class every week and the staff are super friendly and helpful!
The Academy has been a great place to train and grow, and has created a great family atmosphere. The new expanded space will be amazing to continue training within!
