Circus Glory is a central London trapeze school owned and run by Genevieve Monastesse since 1993.
Genevieve has taught circus arts to adults, teenagers and children for over 30 years in variety of leading circus school and is respected as one of the best aerial teachers in Europe.
The key principle of Circus Glory trapeze school is a personal attention from Genevieve who works 1-1 with each student on trapeze, instead of spreading teacher’s attention on all students simultaneously. The small group setting of maximum 4 people add to the quality of teaching and the intimacy of the group. Every student's progress is closely monitored and supported with one-to-one tips and technique corrections. This speeds up overall learning progress and allows a person to naturally perform to a high standard overtime (demonstrated beautifully by a pool of regular students training with Genevieve for years).
For many years, Genevieve has been teaching the Degree Programme at the National Centre of Circus Arts, one of Europe's leading provider of professional circus education.
Her students are some of the successful aerialists that you will have seen performing worldwide
