Go Past Your First Swing

The Master Class

One class a week with the same coaches and the same group. You stop chasing single tricks and start building real skill in the air. The session ends with a Showcase where you fly in front of friends and family.

  • A clean takeoff and a stronger, higher swing
  • Your first knee hang and your first catch from the catcher
  • Body awareness and grip strength that carry into everything else
  • The nerve to commit when a coach calls the trick

Before You Book

Flying Trapeze Questions, Answered

Do I need any experience to try flying trapeze?

No. Most first-timers have never touched a trapeze. You train on the ground first, wear a safety belt, and a coach holds your line on every flight. Beginners catch their first swing on day one.

How old do you have to be?

We put ages 4 to 104 in the air. Kids, adults, parents and grandparents all fly here. Tiny Flyers covers the youngest, and open classes fit everyone else.

Is flying trapeze safe?

Yes. You are in a safety belt clipped to lines the whole time, with a net below and a coach holding you on every flight. We walk you through every step before you climb the ladder.

What should I wear?

Fitted athletic clothes you can move in, like leggings or shorts and a snug top. Skip loose clothing and jewelry. We chalk your hands at the rig.

Where are you located?

Plaza Vera Cruz, 110 E Cota St, Santa Barbara CA 93101, in the heart of downtown. Call (805) 515-4035 with any questions.

How do I book a class?

Pick a class time on this page and reserve your spot online. Spots are limited per class, so booking ahead is the surest way in.

Can I come watch before I fly?

Yes. Family and friends are welcome to watch from the ground. Many people watch one class, then book their own the same week.

What is the Master Class?

A weekly class with the same coaches and group that builds real skill over a session, then ends in a Showcase where you fly for a crowd. You take one open class first.
