★★★★★Jessica EverlithI love all the offerings from NECCA! Taking classes with them has made me feel so strong, powerful, and confident. It makes exercising a treat instead of a chore and my kids love the classes and instructors. The service by the team is always incredible: responsive, fair, and friendly. Don’t sleep on their classes or shows!

Elevates the word ‘fun’ to a whole other higher level with endless smiles of happinesses 😃👍🏻😍❤️💗 🙃🤸🏼♀️
★★★★Anna SchumacherIt’s very cool that we have a world-class circus school right here in lil’ ol’ Brattleboro! My kids have both done classes and camps here and enjoyed them, the “trapezium” is impressive AF and I really love the way NECCA is integrated into the local community—it seems like they have a presence at every local event and fundraiser and I like the vibe they add to the town. I took one star off cause their kids programming is pretty rigid—they do the same thing in all of the camps and seem more focused on the show they put on at the end of the week than on the kids having fun and learning new things. Also their parking lot is a nightmare and they will low-key shame you for showing up late even if the reason you’re late is because you had to scale a snowbank to park there.
★★★★★Heather WellsMy daughter took the Sneaking Pathways on Silks and loved it. She felt she learned a lot of new things & will continue to work on them back home in her training. She was able to celebrate World Circus Day as well during this workshop.
★★★★★Julia KeyesWhat an incredible circus school! World class coaches, dedicated students, classes for all ages and levels, and a custom built facility! If you're looking for the highest quality circus training in the US, NECCA is your place!
