MAY 28 – 28, 07
The Crossings Austin, TX
Course: #CR07PG
Tuition: $75 (child or adult tuition is $75 per person per 2-hour class)

Are you yearning to be more alive? Come feel the thrill of the flying trapeze with our 2-hour classes offered MARCH 3 – MAY 28. These classes are appropriate for everyone from the beginner to the expert. Come challenge your fears or just fly through the air. All participants are guided through a sequential learning process, personally assisted by a qualified Trapeze Experience facilitator. Intermediate sessions are also available.

Physical Capability: Participating on the flying trapeze does require physical exertion, not unlike other activities such as horseback riding, skiing, canoeing, and aerobic classes. Using your personal criteria, which may include consulting with a physician, you will need to decide for yourself that you are prepared for this type of activity. Most people who are capable of some sort of exercise are usually prepared enough to participate and enjoy the trapeze.

Choose from the following class days and times from MARCH 3 – MAY 28:

Wednesday: 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Thursday: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm (Intermediate students only)
Friday: 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Saturday: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Sunday: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm (Sunday evening is for advanced students only)

I love you, crazy girl. You are just too cool.

Wow that does sound exciting! Hope you get someone to go with you!

I wish it wasn't such a long drive, or I would be right there with you.

Is there nothing this girl won't do?

Make sure you get plenty of pictures, and see if they'll let you video your arial exploits. Do you get to wear a body suit with lots of sequins?

You Rock!

I went to check this place out and it is fantastic. The day spa/retreat is so peaceful and relaxing....trees everywhere....beautiful.

The high flying adventure looks pretty cool. They had some students doing demos yesterday and I could see that if I lived closer....I'd be tempted to budget a class in as often as possible.
I CAN'T WAIT!
Whee!

I wish I was still in Texas for many reasons. I would join you in a heartbeat if I could. You'll have to tell us all about it!

I want to come. I think it would be so much fun. I'll add it to my wishlist but I don't know if it can happen or not. I have been financially challenged of late. I don't even get to go to my BOW workshop.

That is so awesome! Have fun!

I just saw this...So at this very moment you are swinging through the air!

My hubby sent me a link for a place like this in Maryland. He said, "Wanna do this?" That's sweet of him.

I'll have to get over some fears first... 1) heights 2) falling from heights 3) hurting my already hurting shoulders, neck, back, 4) being in public and talking / working with people.

I guess I won't be doing it then. But a decade ago it would have been great!!!

Can't wait to see the pictures! P.S. Did you change your mind about posting your "hot or not" picture? Heehee. I saw it the other day and didn't quite know what to say. Other than, "You already know you are hot." Or, "That's a side of you you've described a lot but now we've finally seen it..."

Keep having fun!!! Have some for me too.
