FLYING TRAPEZE SEASON UPDATE
Hello everyone! Here’s a quick update from your friends at Rocky Mountain Flying Trapeze. As the weather warms up we know you are all anxious to know what we plan to offer this season. First of all, a big thank you to everyone who has reached out over the past year to us with messages of support and to let us know how much you appreciate flying with us! We plan to set up the rig, and hope to be able to provide a limited schedule of classes for the summer season. Those of you who still have active passes with us will be offered the opportunity to redeem them on a priority basis. In order to comply with COVID guidelines, our classes will be structured differently with smaller class size and adjusted duration. Catching will not be available at every class, but this will provide flyers with more time to work on their skills and tricks. We do hope to offer several workshops over the course of the summer for our more advanced flyers; more information regarding this will be available in the coming months. Please stay tuned to our website or Facebook page for further updates, and we hope to be able to see you again soon!
CLASSES AND PRIVATE EVENTS
FLYING TRAPEZE CLASS
Our Flying Trapeze Class is suitable for everyone, from beginners to advanced flyers. New flyers will start with ground school where they will become familiar with the safety harness, calls, and body positions. From there, you will be guided through your first aerial tricks on our flying trapeze rig. The focus of all our classes is on skill development and our instructors will help you progress at an appropriate pace according to your level. Some classes may end with an opportunity to experience Catch - this is based on availability of a Catcher and cannot be confirmed until the start of each class.
Ages 6 and above
Class Duration: 90 minutes
Maximum: 8 students
FREQUENT FLYER PASS
If you love Flying Trapeze as much as we do, then you may be interested in being a Frequent Flyer. We offer discounts for 2, 5, and 10 passes that can be used for our FLYING TRAPEZE CLASS.
Space in classes may be limited as booking is based on first come, first served basis. Please book your class time early to avoid disappointment.
PRIVATE FLYING TRAPEZE EVENT
Looking for a great, original idea for a special occasion? Whether the event is a Birthday celebration, corporate team building, sports team party, or just to spend time with your favourite group of friends, we can accommodate a wide variety of ages and skill levels in a safe, fun, and friendly environment. No previous experience is required.
The Flying Trapeze event starts with a warm up and a stretch, followed by our “Ground School” lesson. Everyone will be fitted with a safety harness, and then be guided through performing aerial tricks on our flying trapeze rig. Based on instructor availability, we may finish with "Catch", where everyone who is ready is given the opportunity to do their trick and then be caught in the air by an instructor.
Private events will be arranged on a day and time that works for your group. Events for a larger number of participants and longer durations can also be specially organized.
Please contact us at and we will be happy to assist you in scheduling your event.
Ages 6 and above
Event Duration – 2 hours (1.5 hours Fly time; picnic space available 30 minutes after Fly for party food, cake, etc.)
