The professional danglers at Trapeze School New York transform landlocked humans into airborne backflippers over Belmont Harbor with a unique and fun form of fitness that helps conquer the fear of heights, instill self-confidence, and improve team-building skills. With class options fit for all skill levels, experienced instructors teach prospective body pilots ages 6 and up how to work dormant muscles and laugh in gravity’s smug, scientific face in a fun and secure environment. Experience the flying-trapeze class, a two-hour course that will train students how to swing from a wildly pendulating bar by their knees before gracefully landing on a soft net. Trapeze School’s schedule typically runs seven days per week.
