Item Description

Experience the joy of flying through the air with the greatest of ease with this certificate for one flying trapeze class.

Our flying trapeze classes let students safely experience the exhilaration of this extraordinary circus art, regardless of fitness level or athletic background.

First time students are fitted with a safety belt and begin class with a brief ground school lead by one of their three instructors. After learning the basic safety rules, practicing their take-off on the ground, and seeing a demonstration of their first trick – the knee hang, students will climb up the ladder and soon be flying through the air. Students are connected to safety lines from the time they step onto the first rung of the ladder until they roll out of the net and have both feet back on the ground.

Throughout class instructors will provide coaching on the beginning flying techniques. The final 30 minutes of each class are devoted to catching – yes, an instructor will hang from another trapeze bar and catch a flyer! If you're still working on finessing your trick, not to worry – students can continue to practice (without attempting a catch) during the catch rounds.
