Way cooler than Clown College, Vancouver Circus School teaches people of all ages and abilities…read more(and flexibilities) the arts of juggling, trampoline, aerial silks, trapeze, acrobatics, hoops, and more. It's been many years since I have done a back bend, but when the opportunity came up to join one of the regularly scheduled Intro to Circus classes, I jumped on it. For joy. I might ache a wee bit now, but had a ball. After a good warm-up and stretch, our class included segments on juggling (including the fluid art of contact juggling - not so much from me, but the instructor was amazing - "Lots of lonely Friday nights," he joked), trampoline, and aerial silks. My favourite part was learning how to make a little cocoon out of the silk - a long piece of fabric that hangs from the ceiling - and spin it around. The owner of the school is an acrobatic/artistic coach for Cirque Du Soleil and the instructors are all working coaches and performers themselves. They've created a happy, airy facility in the River Market with lots of natural light and views over the Fraser River. It was bustling on the night I went - everywhere you looked, someone was doing something amazing: tumbling and flipping across the floor, wrapping themselves around a silk and/or a partner up close to the ceiling, elegantly writhing through the hoops. If you're curious or just want to watch, the troupe gives a free 15-minute performance every Saturday afternoon at the school. As for me, I'm definitely going back for more (hello, I have a Circus School in my 'hood!). The circus beats boring old yoga any day.

My friend texted me saying she bought a Groupon for circus school. I texted back, "WTF."After…read morechecking out the actual Groupon description, my WTF moment softened as I was immediately drawn to Aerial Silks. Which girl doesn't dream of doing something so graceful, especially in the air! The school is located in the River Market in New Westminster, a kind of a new concept culinary destination slash community arts gathering place. It's located on the 2nd floor, right on top of Donald's Market. A great grocery store to get your smoothie fix or power bar when you get hungry. Our Groupon included 3 thirty minute sessions. I started off in Acrobalance, which is floor exercises. We were taught somersaults, shoulder roll, and eventually progressed up to headstand. The instructors are great at easing students with little or no experience into having fun with learning these new skills. Next up was Aerial Silk (what I had been looking forward to!) It was actually surprisingly difficult to accomplish a task that looked relatively simple. Glancing over at the more seasoned acrobats, our group definitely felt a new-found respect for circus performers. Last up, we got to try Trampoline. What can I say? We were bouncing up and down - how could that not be fun? Other stations we didn't get to experience were the Trapeze and Aerial Hoop. All in all, Vancouver Circus School is a great place for everyone. It's an environment that fosters kids to gain confidence and learn new skills. At the same time it's for experience junkies who like to try everything once. And it's great for those who are looking for a fun, recreational way to keep fit. Because really now... would you rather do reps at the gym or bounce on a trampoline?!

Not to be confused with The Galley Patio and Grill (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-galley-patio-and-grill-vancouver) which is the restaurant located upstairs at the JSCA offering fantastic views, cold beers and decent pub fare (tho a bit pricey). This restaurant is an added gem and makes for the perfect end to a day of sailing sitting in the sun on the balcony sharing a pitcher. Check the JSCA website for a list of the clubs at the center or just come down and rent a boat for the day or take a lesson at Mac Sailing. Excellent and welcome community at the JSCA!

All in all the food is ok, view is fantastic and the crowd is friendly.

I had to use up a Groupon that I purchased a year ago, and it was coming up for expiry soon, which…read morebrought me here. I did not know what to expect, just that I would be in the air in some sort of plane. I have to say that this was a pleasant experience. The people who work here are very engaging, and entertaining, as they teach you the basics about the flying, tell you in detail about the actions they do to steer the plane, and also create some good conversation in the air. The people here have character, and even though I was using a Groupon, they were not just doing their jobs, but they were enjoying it, and showing it, which makes for a good time. I had the address programmed in my gps, just know you may miss this spot when driving, as I missed it, and didn't realize where it was, as my gps said it was 200m away from where it is. When you drive back, you notice a small sign with a plane! When you get to the place, you notice a bunch of small planes here, just know they only have two, and the other planes are parked here, just like a marina, and you see a big stretch of grassland, and you wonder, where is the runway, it is the grasslands, yup! I was really starting to wonder about things now, as I was the first flight in the day, and did not see any planes go up..... nor down! I signed a waiver first, and was guided toward one of their planes. These planes are small, and I rode the bright yellow looking one. They have 100 hp, propeller planes. Heidi was the pilot with me on this day, and she was really good at explaining each step, and what everything on the plane does. While we were taxi'ing on the ground, she allowed me to steer the plane using my feet, and eventually she took the helm, on a stretch, and we took off, with not much distance travelled on the runway, as these planes are light, they get up pretty quick. While we were in the air, she gave me the helm, and guided me on how to steer the plane, how to eye the height, and how to balance the plane, at the same time, enjoying the view over the houses in Surrey, and the water, it was a sight to behold. You do not really realize where you are, and the planes you are in have a window like door beside you on the left, so you see almost everything. The controls are very sensitive, and because you are in a small airplane, any small move is felt. It was a thrill to be in the air, and something that could be considered if you are interested in learning how to fly. They have classes, and they teach on a regular basis, as I learned due to my introduction to this Groupon, he actually ended up taking the classes, and is well on his way to getting his pilot's license. For those who want that feel, come here, it's a good intro to if you want to go further, and if not, it is just a great experience.
