Balancing & Acrobatics Classes are Here @ TSNY!
Acrobatics is an act performed on the ground where partners lift and balance each other in incredible poses, and use each others' bodies to perform acrobatic feats.
You don't need any prior aerial or acro experience to take these classes. You don't even need a partner - you'll work with the instructor and other students in your class, always under close supervision and with appropriate spotting and safety precautions.
Classes start with an active warm up with stretching, strength conditioning, and flexibility training. Tips and strategies for continuing your training at home will also be provided. Regardless of your background, you'll be able to learn at your own pace and interest level.
Check out our new classes today! And private classes can always be arranged. Please wear snug-fitting clothing that allows for a full range of motion; gymnastics shoes or bare feet; and a rubber hair band if you have long hair.

Intensive AERIAL Workshops at TSNY!
Due to the growing demand of our aerial arts classes, Trapeze School New York now offers Intensive Aerial Workshops (IAW). Starting April 23rd, April 24th, April 27th & April 28th, we are running four concurrent multi-week intensive training classes, which culminates in a performance.
The IAW is geared towards the intermediate and advanced levels, but enthusiastic beginners are very welcome!
Within each class, students can choose which apparatus they would like to perform on - Silks, Rope, Static Trapeze, Hammock or Lyra.
For more information, call 212-242-8769. To enroll,
CLICK HERE and look for Intensive Aerial Workshop in the title of the class.
Looking to get in shape for the summer?
Aerial Conditioning Classes offer an amazing work out!
Silks, static trapeze, fitness balls, and floor exercises are all incorporated into this full body workout.
This class will help aspiring and professional flyers and aerialists condition for their craft, as well as get anyone into the shape they want. It makes exercise fun and new by getting to hang from a trapeze and invert on a silk. SEE SCHEDULE>

As seen on "Better TV," this video featuring Better's Fitness Expert, Andrea Metcalf, and our incredible TSNY instructors (Mandy, James & Breton) shows you how you can fly high and get a great workout. It is also a great snapshot of what to expect in your first flying class.
Even Men's Fitness got in on the action! Men's Fitness senior editor Nate Millado shares with the readers a little secret: He's afraid of heights... but he did it.And so can you! If you want to give up that gym membership and the same ol' routine or want to change things up once in a while, you've come to the right place! As Nate says, "Right after the class, all my muscles (including ones I never knew I had) were sore. One of the instructors had told me he had given up his gym membership altogether ever since teaching trapeze five times a week. I understood why: trapeze is a total-body workout... worth the experience."
Model Julie Henderson becomes a model student at TSNY: she had fun, kept smiling and caught her trick in one magical morning on the roof Pier 40 overlooking New York City's beautiful landscape.
Our indoor rig at 518 West 30th St is open year round. Class signups available now for this location. Our outdoor rig at Pier 40 (West St at Houston St) is closed for the season, and will re-open Friday, May 14, 2010.
