Fantastic experience: Great time at Dust Palace for a end of year school event (5-12 years old) Tutors were great with the kids ensuring all levels of ability & desire ended up having a go and be successful across all the activities including tumbling, juggling and even some aerial work. The serious looks of determination followed by the light of accomplishment along with smiles and laughter earn the 5 stars

Positive experience: Didnt have great contact by email or phone. Just turned up in person and sorted out as a member now Love the range of classes from toddler to advanced experienced adult, and the timetable is sensible. Toddler class before child class on the weekend makes it easy to hang out in the comfortable foyer while the kids take turns doing their class Classes are well priced and unlike other childrens classes run for a decent 1 to 1 ¹/² hours

Fantastic experience: The Dust Palace is quite simply Amaaaazing! Great bunch of highly talented performers and teachers who continue to wow me again and again. I really recommend booking yourself in for some classes, a birthday or hens party, or even a live performance at your next private or corporate event! (I had tears the first live performance I saw, which was two of their young scholarship students!) I love seeing what new creations they come up with for each new show, and I have also learnt SOOOO much from doing some of their classes myself! (They do both Kids and Adults classes, plus you don't even have to be fit to try them) It really is just so much fun and I simply can't recommend them enough. :) :) :)

Maple Goh 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this place. I signed up as a beginner and have had really supportive teachers like Jess who continue to make each and every aerial silk experience memorable. The prices of the classes are very affordable, and the venue is well equipped with plenty of silks, hoops, trapeze swings, nets and all sorts of fun things to practice on. They also have great flexibility with their term contracts, which other places in Auckland offering these classes cannot even begin to compare to, as they allow you to cancel classes up to 10 minutes before the class, and you can sign up to make up classes if you have to miss a class for any reason. This was a big seller for me as I work long hours in a hospital and finishing work is always very unpredictable. Really happy with this place :-)
