What are the dates for class sessions?
Class sessions are divided according to season and usually run around the following months. Please check the top of this page or our registration site for exact dates.
What should I wear?
Wear close fitting, stretchy clothing that covers your knees and shoulders. For tops, as flying trapeze generally involves going upside down, higher necklines are encouraged. For bottoms, yoga-type pants or tights work well. Baggy pants of any sort should be avoided for safety reasons.
If you are interested in using grips we encourage you to use either gymnastics grips without a dowel, men’s gymnastics grips with a dowel, or tape/gauze grips. You are not required to wear grips, and many of our flyers fly without them. If you have more questions, email us.
When should I arrive?
Please plan on arriving 10-15 minutes prior to the start of your lesson or class, so that you can check in, warm up, and be ready to fly when your lesson begins.
Are there any prerequisites or restrictions?
For flying trapeze classes only, there is a weight limit of 215 lbs. At NECCA our number one priority is the safety of our students and staff. All of our policies including our Weight Limit reflect this priority and exist to mitigate the risk of injury.
Flying trapeze classes are unique. Flying Trapeze requires that an instructor holds a students’ body weight, both on the platform for takeoff and with safety lines while swinging and landing. This means we rely on our instructor’s physical ability to keep students safe (among other factors). Therefore, despite thorough training, our instructors may be less able to keep a student safe if that student is beyond the stated weight limit. Weight isn’t the only factor that determines a student’s ability to be able to participate safely in class.
All students, regardless of weight, must also meet the following requirements:
We understand these conversations can be frustrating. At NECCA we strongly believe that the circus is for everyone. This policy is purely for safety reasons. There are also lots of classes you can take to prepare you for a future flying class. If flying trapeze doesn’t sound like the right fit right now, we have lots of other classes you can attend with no restrictions.
Please feel free to reach out if you aren’t sure what program or class is best for you. We are here to make your circus dreams come true!
Please join us in thanking these companies for their support of NECCA.
Provide high-quality circus arts training for students and artists while facilitating greater access and programming to everyone.
