Dance Trapeze

A trapeze bar hung from a single point, so it spins, swings and circles with you. Dance trapeze pairs the strength of classic trapeze with the flow and musicality of dance, and it's one of the friendliest places to start in aerial. No experience needed.

The basics

What is dance trapeze?

Dance trapeze, also called single-point trapeze, is a trapeze bar hung from one rigging point instead of two. That single point lets the bar spin, swing and travel in circles, so rather than holding still on a fixed bar, you move with it: poses flow into turns, beats and drops, with a big focus on musicality and clean lines. It's different from static trapeze (hung from two points) and from flying trapeze, the swing-and-catch act with a net.
