Now there are 3 ways to design your party at Trapeze School New York! No matter whether you are looking for a small party or an extravaganza, TSNY is here to meet your needs.
If you have 10 or fewer people, this could be the easiest party solution for you. Simply book an entire class using our online class sign up and get ready for an amazing flying trapeze experience. We will supply the fun and you bring your own party supplies –- decorations, cake, and other goodies. You get our standard 2-hour flying trapeze class, plus we will supply tables for the extras you bring. This type of party is especially popular for small birthday or bachelorette parties.

TSNY will provide all safety equipment, disposable items (tape, chalk etc), staffing and instruction for this amazing high-flying adventure. By far the coolest part of everyone's day!
Additional Activities
Ascent and Traverse Ropes Courses
Our unique rope climbing activity offers your group the opportunity to go beyond traditional climbing to the next level. Work with cool climbing gear to see who can climb the highest, who can walk across the high beam, or even climb blindfolded!
Trampoline
This is among our most popular activities at TSNY. Our expert instructors will carefully guide you through movements that match your ability and take you just a little bit further. Progress through the more advanced tricks is facilitated by safety lines – you can even try a flip!
Sword Play
Foam swords, teams of five square off to battle each other! Release your inner Knight with our fun foam boffer swords! Score points and eliminate opponents by knocking off their limbs Monty python style. Battle cries galore!
Juggling
Balls, Beanbags, Clubs, Scarves, Diablo and Spinning Plates are all used to teach hand eye coordination. We teach a basic cascade pattern and beyond. Beanbags and scarves are easy while the more advanced and more coordinated participants learn ball and club juggling, plate spinning, and, well, anything's possible!
Silks
Silks are among the most artistic and beautiful of the aerial art forms. We will teach you some basic moves that will make you look like an expert performer. You will amaze yourself and your colleagues.
Hula Hoop
Few things symbolize simple times like the Hula Hoop. This ingeniously simple activity captures the rhythm of our playful nature and gets everyone joining in the groove as they start swinging their hips with that rattle and roll. We'll show novice and pro alike how to work up some impressive moves and maybe even perform your very own synchronized Hula Hoopla.
Stilts
Want to stand out among your friends and walk tall! This is the activity for you.
Acrobatic Yoga
This is the latest sensation in yoga, and we have just introduced it into TSNY activities. You will work with an expert instructor learn how to position yourself and your friends in intriguing and unusual positions that will stretch your muscles and your imagination.
Finale
Towards the end of the event, we'll do catching on the flying trapeze, and we'll showcase selected individuals showing their stuff at each activity station. You'll be trained and you'll put on your own show!
