Circus Arts Byron Bay runs flying trapeze classes during school holidays as part of our School Holiday Programs or as a casual class. We have a different timetable during NSW school terms, however flying trapeze classes are enjoyed by adults as well – read more here.

All ages and experience levels can join the same flying trapeze class – from children (6 years+) to adults making it a unique family activity where everyone is challenged. It has become increasingly popular amongst those who want to maintain an active lifestyle, but love the feeling of an adrenaline rush in a safe setting. Quite often those who try a class as one-off experience sign up for weekly classes. Additionally, it can become their new hobby or fitness regime, which brings a great number of benefits, like an increased level of fitness, self-esteem and new friendships.

More Details

The class starts with a quick warm up and safety briefing on the ground followed by learning the key positions for your trick on the static trapeze bar. Up the ladder 10m for a few practice turns on the actual flying trapeze. Feeling good? You have 2 attempts to “throw” your trick to the catcher! If that’s not for you, then 2 more practices. Learn more difficult tricks and how to generate your own swing height with each additional class.

Participants need to be able to hold their body weight on the bar.

Flying trapeze weight restrictions – up to 100 kg.

Progression

All students wanting to fly out of lines must have sign off from one of the head coaches. If you are not a regular flyer at Circus Arts please email or call ahead to see which classes are best for you.

Something we always wanted to do and loved every minute of it. Highly recommended. The instructors guide you the whole way.

Allan O’Connell

Awesome. The staff and instructers are so friendly and patient, the flying trapeze is one of the jewels of this place, alongside the rock climbing, parkour/trampolining, and silks area. There is even a little cafe to relax and a fantastic circus theme park inside the building for your little ones to play!
