High Flying Trapeze

From beginner to Ringling Bros., we offer Flying Trapeze classes for all levels.

First time students go through “Ground School” - an introduction to the rig, take-off techniques, flight, their first trick, and dismount.
Towards the end of each class, depending on a students comfortability and success with their trick, they will have the opportunity to be caught by our world-class catchers.

As students advance & gain confidence (which is generally by the end of the first class), we introduce new tricks that develop spatial awareness.

As time goes on, students build their repertoire of tricks, learn to properly and powerfully swing with the catcher and return back to the bar, remounting the board & becoming a true "carnie".

Beginners are welcome to all classes, excluding those for "Frequent Flyers".
