Aerial, Trapeze, Circus Classes Bay Area California

California Bay Area Aerial Arts Classes

• Trapeze Arts
  Fly through the air with the greatest of ease... just like you see in the circus. During the first class, participants learn the basics. You'll hang by your knees on a stationary bar, then proceed up the ladder to the flying trapeze! After practicing a knee hang position for execution and timing, you may even be ready by the end of the class to attempt a catch with our catcher... and this is just the beginning!

Turn, twist, roll and stretch through the fundamentals of circus acrobatics. Balancing skills, partner acrobatics, and clowning will come into play.
