Flying Trapeze: First Class

About this class

The beginner flying trapeze class at Trapeze School New York puts you on a safety line before you climb the ladder, so even first-timers swing out with the net below and an instructor calling each move from the ground. Most participants reach a knee hang or mid-air catch within the two-hour session, and the school's method of coaching from below means you hear corrections in real time without stopping between swings. Classes run year-round at the indoor South Williamsburg location and seasonally at the outdoor Pier 40 rig overlooking the Hudson River.
