We Believe You Can Fly

F**k what your sixth-grade science teacher said; gravity can be beat and you don’t have to live with your feet planted on the ground for eternity. You can join the cadre of birds, airplanes, and NBA players that are lucky to coast through the air with the wind beneath their wings. There’s one catch. You must be strapped into a double-line safety spotting harness, there should be a net in place to save your precious life, and you should do it at The Flying Trapeze School. Maybe you’ll get to attempt a half-turn or a shooting star, or perhaps you’ll chicken out and stand on the sideline to clap for your friends. Either way, we promise it’ll be a blast to watch humans fly through the air.

Class skill levels progress from scared to ballsy — we mean novice to advanced — and are available Thursday through Sunday at Bayfront Park (301 Biscayne Blvd., Miami). The school’s tagline is “Catch ye later,” to which we say, “I hope so!”
