I found this place on Google maps months ago when looking for an aerial silks class. I finally dropped in (get it) for 2 of their trapeze classes last night and they were both wonderful. I received an almost full body workout in the static trapeze class. The instructor's teaching style was challenging but supportive and understanding, reminded me a lot of my Gymnastics days. She slowly progressed my conditioning, prep, and skills thoroughly and threw some fun challenges my way. Overall would take her class again. The second class was the Flying Trapeze and it was so much fun. They walk you through basic ground school (literally) before having you do the real thing. Like all training, one must progress from the training wheels to and mastering the skill of listening and timing took; this took a lot longer for me to grasp time but the instructors were patient and supportive, as were the other students. One called me out for being negative and gracefully reminded me that I could do it. I'm a retired gymnast, cheerleader, and pole vaulter. The idea of flying never scared me until this class but the feeling of accomplishing the back tuck dismounts and completing a catch, is the best feeliy ever. Can't wait for the next class.
