Taking Flight


After visiting my family in Virginia, I headed to Washington D.C. for a meeting this past Monday.  I usually go to Circus Place in Hillsborough on Monday nights for my static (still) trapeze and lyra class.  I knew I would really miss it, so I looked online to see if there were any classes in Washington D.C. I could take.  Unfortunately the class was late, during the time I had plans for with some other people who work with schools.  They did, however, have a FLYING trapeze class earlier. So, I figured I should give it a try!

What an amazing experience!  With each new attempt I got better and better.  I would absolutely love to fly again soon!  I am posting some photos and a video below.  Enjoy!


Waiting for my teacher's command.  In circus they say "HEP!" instead of "go."  "Go" sounds too much like "no."
Here I go!

Going for the catch
Got ya!


There were very few books on circus arts in the Somerset County Library System, but here are three you can take out:
