Learning to swing, release, and catch on a flying trapeze with an instructor coaching from the platform — a thrilling circus art that builds trust and exhilaration together.

The Essentials

Steps

  • Arrive early for a safety briefing and to be fitted with a harness and safety lines.
  • Climb the ladder to the platform, where an instructor helps position your hands on the bar.
  • On the count, jump off the platform and swing forward, keeping your body straight and legs together.
  • Pump your legs at the top of the swing to build momentum, following the instructor's timing calls.
  • Release the bar on cue and, on later attempts, reach out to catch a second bar or a catcher's hands.
  • Let the safety lines lower you gently to the net or ground after each swing.

Tips

  • Wear snug, comfortable clothing without loose jewelry or zippers that could snag the bar.
  • Trust the safety harness and net completely, and keep listening for the instructor's commands throughout.
  • Grip the bar with your thumbs wrapped around, not just resting on top, for a secure hold.
  • Expect sore forearms and palms after a first session, and stretch beforehand to loosen up.
  • Watch other participants swing first if it's your turn later, since it helps you visualize the movement.
