Todays Experience: Trapeze Lessons





From Trapeze School New York

Hello. My name is Jonathon Conant and I am the President and Co-Founder of Trapeze School New York. I would like to share the school's history and a bit about the people who have committed their lives to TSNY. The school is here today because of the cooperative efforts, shared vision and well-aligned goals of our co-founders (myself, Dave & Anne Brown) and others who've pitched in along the way.

The Beginning
In 1998 I visited a Club Med while on vacation. There I had my first flying experience, and saw that the flying trapeze was an amazing tool for helping people (re)discover what they might be capable of. Back home, I looked for a place to train and put my energy toward progressing the sport of flying. But I found that trapeze, while popular at resorts, was so far from the mainstream that it barely touched the consciousness of the American public.
