FLYING TRAPEZE CLASSES
Finally! You don’t need to be part of a circus family that spans generations to try your hand at this quintessential circus art. And thanks to our safety lines, net, and state-of-the-art indoor rig, it doesn’t have to feel death-defying either.
First timers and veterans alike will find fresh challenges to conquer while exploring our robust offering of classes and programs.
Session Classes
Take your first leap or work on taking a more advanced trick out of lines. Weekly classes will get you the airtime you crave. Beginning students will learn how to take off from the platform, perform fundamental trapeze tricks, and begin to work on their ‘swing’—the bread and butter of flying trapeze. More experienced flyers will continue to work on fundamentals and advancing their trick vocabulary.

WEEKEND DROP IN CLASSES
Don’t want to commit to the whole session but can’t stand the thought of not getting up in the air? These two-hour classes for ages 7 and above are great for flyers at every level, from your first time ever through experienced flyers.
In the last 1/2 hour of class, flyers who are ready will also be able to take their tricks across to a catcher—one of our coaches, swinging from a second trapeze.

FLIGHT NIGHTS
With a special theme each session, Flight Night is a great excuse to grab some friends, get dressed up and take a swing or three on the trapeze.

PREP BEFORE YOU FLY
ARRIVAL
Please plan on arriving 10-15 minutes prior to the start of your lesson or class, so that you can check in, warm up, and be ready to fly when your lesson begins.
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear close-fitting, stretchy clothing that covers your knees and shoulders. For tops, as flying trapeze generally involves going upside-down, higher necklines and shirts that stay put are encouraged. For bottoms, yoga-type pants or tights work well; baggy pants of any sort should be avoided for safety reasons.
