High-Flying at the Trapeze School of New York

We decided on whim to check out the Trapeze School of New York. No, it had nothing to do with the fact that Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City once did it. We tried it because our friend is a frequent "flyer" there.

The TSNY offers classes for all levels of flyers and different types of workshops. As far as we can tell, though, most classes are just full of people with various trapeze experience. Thus some students were completing more complex hangs while we were barely getting through a single swing.

For the record, we fell off our first time and got back up (barely) for a second time to complete a few swings. The knee hang was out of the question for us. So was catching. So was going up for a third try.

The famous outdoor rig will open on West Street at Houston next week. Some classes are also held in the indoor spot on West 30th Street. Classes range from $47 to $65 a pop. Anyone over the age of 4 is welcome to give it a try. Not allowed? People who decide they need liquid courage before the class and show up drunk.
