Kids Flying Lesson - Ages 6-12
This is a great opportunity for children to experience flying through the air whilst in a safe environment. The flying trapeze is a circus art that children can participate in and even enjoy being caught by FTA's very own Superhero!!
Frequent Flyers
If you loved your first flying trapeze class and wish to learn more, then check out some of FTA's Frequent Flyer Packages. From learning to take off on your own to some more impressive aerial tricks to a 'catcher', FTA's frequent flyer classes are designed to suit everyones pace and strength.
Family Classes
We encourage family participation, if as a parent you see your child flying through the air and performing one of our tricks and you feel you could do it. Why not arrange a lesson where the whole family joins in.
If you are already a 'flyer' and just want to keep fit, brush up on some skills and experience flying on a trapeze rig on a tropical island. Stop by the rig, let us know what your level is and we will take it from where you last left off . FTA have smaller more personal trapeze classes and guarantee that you will get the most out of your lesson.
In your first FTA lesson you will learn how to execute a 'knee hang catch'. After a demonstration on the ground with a practice bar, you'll be secured into a safety belt, up the ladder you climb, and harness lines attached! Once on the pedestal a FTA instructor will prepare you to 'fly', off you step and away you go towards mastering the 'knee hang'. Practice makes perfect so you will try again, this time adding a back flip dismount down to the net. After mastering the 'knee hang', a catcher will climb into the 'catchtrap', this time when you reach out, you'll be caught mid air and swing on through with the second trapeze.
This class is for flyers who have shown the instructors that they are experienced enough to fly without lines to the net. Even if you are a skilled flyer from outside of FTA you will be asked to initially fly with lines.
