TRAPEZE! with Suzanne (Advanced Beginner/Intermediate)
In this Advanced Beginner / Intermediate class, the focus is on technique and conditioning and improving upon the tricks in your basket. e.g. Sitting and standing on the bar may seem like a piece of cake to you now, but its easy to take the nuances and subtleties for granted as you're expanding your aerial vocabulary and skills. Drilling the basics is an important part of training for everyone. It can even be dynamic and exciting! Get a satisfying work out for your body and your brain!
Experience required.
Wednesdays 7:00- 8:30pm • $45 per class

The Trapeze Loft opened its doors in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn ln the Spring of 1999 under the direction of Tanya Gagné. The Loft was founded as a place to learn and improve circus skills in a professional yet relaxed and supportive environment. Personalized instruction is offered in private lessons and small group workshops.
In the Spring of 2011, The Trapeze Loft packed its bags and moved across town to its new home, Big Sky Works, a new multidisciplinary arts space, also founded by Gagné.
