Trapeze
We offer static trapeze, dance trapeze, and duo trapeze through a mix or regular classes and special workshops.
Static trapeze allows you to explore the beauty and artistry of the trapeze bar while staying in place and close to the ground! Working on a mix of seated, standing, balancing, or hanging poses and transitions, students can then progress to more dynamic swings and inversions.
​
Static trapeze is generally fixed to two points, whereas dance trapeze is hung from a single point and can therefore spin. Duo trapeze is performed with two partners: a flyer and a base, and uses a static trapeze. Partners can perform a variety of synchronized poses and sequences, progressing from static to dynamic.

These classes incorporate elements of dance and acrobatics and will move you through a series of poses, pirouettes, inversions, climbs and transitions.
