 Come enjoy and experience the extraordinary physical exhilaration of flying on the trapeze.
This 2 hour class is action-packed! Participants are given level-specific assistance on the flying trapeze by qualified Trapeze Facilitators. During these beginner-friendly lessons, participants warm up, get a ground-lesson, and then spend most of the class “flying through the air with the greatest of ease”, and learning the basics on the trapeze. There’s even an opportunity to be caught in mid-air in the first class! Trapeze is a “mountain with no top” so each time you come out, we’ll assist you “taking it to the next level”. All levels welcome, ages 6 and up, and there’s a 250LB weight limit.
Frequently Asked QuestionsIs trapeze safe? Surprise, the Flying Trapeze is actually safer than the uninitiated realize. Originally, the circus advertising-departments “positioned it in the Public’s experience”, by marketing “the trapeze”, as, “dangerous” -- obviously, to sell more tickets -- but, if that were true, then how did the performers ever practice? Though there are inherent-risks, as is true with every activity (baseball, football, jogging, bicycling, horseback-riding, etc.), the flying trapeze has a better safety-record than all of them! Many of you have seen “rock-climbing walls”, which have their participants hooked-up with one safety-line to their harness -- that’s called a “single-belay”. With the flying trapeze, we use a “single”-belay for the ladder-climb to the platform, and a “double-belay” (an attachment at both sides of the safety-belt) for the flying -- plus, there’s a safety-net!
Do I need any “athletic-ability”? It would help – but not required for first lesson, which is very beginner-friendly. Also, you’ve done “hanging around” before in your life -- here, it’s on purpose, and turned into powerful lessons of creativity and generativeness. (Even the “jocks” get it.)
Will my arms get ripped from my body? No, they won’t. Thanks to gravity, the swinging is quite effortless; and due to the physics-principles of pendulums, the swing-momentum actually reduces the load on the arms and shoulders. Pay attention to the instructions and you’ll do well.
Will I “pull” something? You might. But then, anybody might “pull” something getting-in or -out of a car. Actually, the question is, “Will I feel soreness afterward?” Maybe. It depends on what kind of shape you’re in, and how much you typically exercise -- that’s why we do “stretching”-exercises during the warm-up.
Is there anyone who physically can’t, or shouldn’t, do this? When that’s the case, the reason is usually obvious. If you’re uncertain, sit out. Maximum weight limit 250LBS
Will I get laughed at? You might, but not by the Trapeze Team. This is a time-tested activity that’s been done for years with hundreds of thousands of people! Very quickly, everyone comes to realize that “comparison” is impossible and irrelevant -- everyone is pushing their own boundaries. “Looking bad”, is not possible here. Actually, everyone soon begins cheering and supporting each other -- this is fun!
Will I end up discovering that I’m much more capable and terrific than I thought I was? You might, everyone else seems to leave with that realization. You likely will even tap into possibilities for yourself and your future that are actually very exciting!
