★★★★★Barbara BruttOn a scale of cotton candy to Brussels sprouts, Dragonfly Aerial & Circus Arts Studio is a tiramisu. I traveled through town, and I was hoping to train some aerial while traveling. Despite being in the middle of a move, I was able to schedule a private lesson with one of the instructors, and I was so pleased to work with Young! The new Dragonfly space is gorgeous, and I hope I get to return to see what it becomes as they live there longer. The studio is located in a warehouse so it can feel like you're arriving to the wrong place at first! (But we know that can be normal for aerial studios)
★★★★★Amber HadleyMy 9 year old daughter recently attended summer camp here and she absolutely loved it and 2 weeks later is still talking about it. She was challenged and told me she feels less afraid of heights and that she made some friends. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging. We plan to take classes in the fall- my 9 year old daughter (her 13 year old sister expressed interest after watching the performance wants to join) and also my husband and I for date night! They have beginners adult classes!
★★AngieSo this is my first time seeing a performance, I was super excited to be able to support such a great non-profit for kiddos to be able to receive a scholarship to learn this art form. I was even going to ask how much a scholarship cost, so I could donate some money...but I'm taking that back. As I was in line to get some snacks, the group of kiddos who performed prior were using inappropriate acronyms. I wanted to know who was in charge, just to inform them to let the kiddos know that they should be mindful of their conversation, for you never know who's around. The lady I spoke to was rude as hell! And that is saying it nicely! She was upset with me because I would not give her the description of the kiddos who spoken appropriately, for I did not feel I had to directly pinpoint particular individuals out, so instead of being a mature adult and addressing the entire group with a basic reminder to be mindful, she was more adamant that she wanted to go to the individuals directly. I refused to pinpoint all the children, and her response was completely nasty and negative. If I am supporting you, I think it's important that you address yourself professionally in every aspect. I bit my tongue and my daughter and I just left. Sadly I will not be able to support this organization based on their communication style. Tis sad....
★★★★★Beatrice RodriguezTook my 2 girls there for a beginner class (used Groupon) and they had such a good time. The instructor was so nice and patient with them. I HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!! We WILL be coming here again.
★★★★★Carissa DantasLissa and Jake are amazingly warm and wonderful people! I met them in downtown Nashville where they were on stilts passing out flyers for a free class the next day. I went there just hoping to try stilt walking and was blown away by what they offered for the free class. The aerial arts studio is phenomenal! Super friendly and passionate instructors. Beautiful demonstrations executed by themselves and their students. I was able to try my stilt walking plus lyra, fabrics, trapeze, and tightrope walking. If I lived in the area, I would have joined today! If you live in or are traveling through the Knoxville area, I highly recommend stopping in.
