Climb the ladder, swing into a knee hang, and feel the net below as professional catchers complete the sequence. This two-hour private flying trapeze session at Académie De Cirque in Montreal teaches fundamentals with an emphasis on safety and individual progression.
The first step onto the platform is deliberate: wooden rungs underfoot, a harness snug at the hips, and the gym lights throwing long shadows across the net below. In that suspended moment the city’s hum fades—air seems to hold its breath—and you swing into a sequence of coached movements that range from a tentative knee hang to the heartbeat rush of being caught by a professional.

In that suspended moment the city’s hum fades—air seems to hold its breath—and you swing into a sequence of coached movements that range from a tentative knee hang to the heartbeat rush of being caught by a professional.
Montreal’s circus tradition springs from a long history of performing arts; the city has been a North American hub for contemporary circus innovation since the late 20th century. Académie De Cirque continues that culture on a human scale, teaching core aerial technique rather than spectacle. The building itself sits in an urban neighborhood where former industrial spaces were repurposed for creative uses, so expect functional gym floors, rigging points, and safety nets rather than theater trappings.
What you’ll do: a safety briefing, ground drills, ladder climbs, and progressive flights culminating in a catcher-assisted release. Coaches focus on fundamentals—grip, timing, and spotting—so beginners and experienced flyers leave with concrete skills.
Practical guidance: come with a light meal 90 minutes before class, wear fitted athletic clothing that won’t snag, and remove jewelry. Disclose any spinal, cardiac, or pregnancy concerns; staff will adapt or advise against participation. The session is two hours and physically demanding in short bursts; moderate fitness and basic upper-body strength help. Book early for private slots; classes run year-round and can fill quickly on weekends.
No—classes are designed for all levels; coaches progress you through ground drills before your first flight and tailor instruction to your pace.
