What an amazing experience that would not be possible without the fantastic & encouraging people who instruct at Trapeze U!
I have an incredible fear of heights and roller coasters, and did not really want to do this - I went to meet some newly made friends there. As I was watching what was involved I started getting sweaty, nauseous, & short of breath...pretty much a train wreck. The first time up the ladder I didn't want to let go and the poor guy up there very nicely coaxed me to get on the ledge. Then of course I couldn't jump off it...again the very nice instructor on the ledge and the instructors down below gave lots of encouragement and support...and soon I was flying through the air. At the end of the class, because of the wonderful instructors, I was able to jump (hep in circus talk) and completed a catch & a backflip...which was a miracle I didn't think possible at the beginning.
It was a great feeling of accomplishment and I can't praise the people at Trapeze U enough. They learned and used the names of every single person in the class (15 of us over 1.5 hours) which is kind of a feat in itself. The other people in the class really come together to cheer everyone else on, following the leads of the instructors. Really nice, kind, supportive staff and a fantastic experience!
