Dylan and Clara have been running Flying Trapeze intensives and retreats all over the world for over 15 years now, and have taught every different group of flyers that you can imagine. From working with specials needs, to kid’s summer camps, to training professional flyers, they understand what it takes to turn someone into a trapeze artist. The last six intensives were run in America and were for high level flying trapeze. Check out @flying_trapeze_retreat on Instagram for more info and photos on those.

Flying Trapeze intensives are a great way to learn trapeze quickly and master certain goals or skills that you’ve never had time to do in a regular class setting. You get many, many hours of flying and enough time to not feel stressed out and just take a breath. Dylan and Clara run their intensives very organically and make sure not to overcrowd the weekend. This allows for very personalized coaching and catered instruction for exactly what each individual student needs. It also allows for people to form a community and get very accustomed to the space quickly.

This Intensive is specifically set for those who have never-done flying trapeze before or who are at a basic level. It will be taught in a fun and enjoyable manner and completely stress free. Dylan and Clara will make you feel comfortable up on the trapeze and have dealt with many cases of fear of heights or unsureness. The goal is to encourage students to feel ownership and empowerment over their flying. The motto is #ownyourflying and regardless of your level or ability we want to you to feel ownership and control with what you are achieving. For everyone this is different, it could simply be climbing the ladder or hanging upside down, or maybe catching your double back flip. No matter how small or big the goal we want you to feel confident and completely in control. You will be taught why and how each skill is done and understand the mechanics of movement while swinging. Confidence is the aim, and guaranteed you will leave feeling excited and ready to take on the world after a crazy year! Bring it 2021!

Flying Trapeze is truly amazing for what it is and its uniqueness. While you’re up flying everything else that may be happening in life shuts off for those seconds of swinging. It requires focus and determination, but it is also simultaneously incredibly fun and exciting! Your body will awaken muscles that you did not realize existed. You can treat trapeze as a fun hobby, a workout, mental health or decide to run away and join the circus. Regardless of your intention, Dylan and Clara teach trapeze in a very professional manner while maintaining lightheartedness and A LOT of laughter. Come join them on the weekend of a lifetime, you will not regret it.
