Flying Trapeze Level 1

About

In Flying Trapeze, you’ll learn to jump from a platform holding onto the trapeze bar, using your legs to propel  yourself backwards and forwards in a swinging motion whilst performing various moves on the bar. It is a dynamic and exhilarating aerial skill, which provides a full body workout.

Our Flying Trapeze setup is known as a ‘petit volant’ and most of our participants wear a harness belt to ensure safety from falling. As this course uses equipment at height, participants need to be strong and confident enough to support their own body weight (min 20 secs) in order to get the most out of the class.

Who it’s for

This course is the place to start if you have no or limited experience of circus, but want to learn from the basics, as well as developing your fitness and helping you gain confidence on specialist circus equipment. Once our teachers feel that a student is ready, you will be able to progress to Level 2.

If you have experience and would like to start training at the National Centre on a more advanced level course, you can book an Aerial Assessment.

What to wear?

Please wear comfortable clothing such as leggings or tracksuit bottoms, a T-shirt or vest, and clean indoor trainers. For aerial classes, clothing that covers the limbs (like long sleeves and leggings) is advised.

Course Information

Please note, no classes will run from 16 – 22 February due to the half term.
