Get a Grip Trapeze

Chicago’s only Flying Trapeze School! We offer flying trapeze, trampoline, & aerial arts classes for people ages 6-100. Beginners welcome!

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or have never taken a circus class before, our expert instructors will work with you at your level to keep you safe and teach you the basics of flying trapeze.

In your first flying trapeze class, you’ll learn how to do a knee hang and a backflip dismount. At the end of every class is Catch Round, where one of our instructors will attempt to catch you from your trick! You’ll be in safety lines the entire time, from the moment you touch the ladder to when you roll out of the net safely to the ground.

Our year round location is in the Broadway Armory, 5917 N. Broadway in Edgewater. In the summer, we set up outside in the park just south of Foster Beach. Classes are available almost every day; please check our website for availability and exact schedule.
