Community Events at Santa Monica Trapeze School

Santa Monica Trapeze School teaches flying trapeze, static trapeze, Lyra (aerial hoop), trampoline, and aerial conditioning classes on the Santa Monica Pier. Founded to make aerial arts accessible to locals and visitors, the school offers beginner-friendly First Time Flyers sessions, multi-week Flying Workshops, and progressive Level 3 Flying Trapeze training for advanced students. Community Events and public shows bring circus arts to the pier, while private Event, Parties, and Buyout options accommodate group celebrations and team-building. Classes combine hands-on safety practices, individualized coaching, and professional rigging. Instructors maintain a focus on technique, strength, and flexibility; specialized sessions such as Aerial Harness and Conditioning and Flexibility support skill development off the trapeze. Static Trapeze and Lyra classes emphasize poses, transitions, and body control, while trampoline classes build airtime awareness and flipping fundamentals useful for flying trapeze. Sessions range from 30-minute introductory flights to one-hour specialty classes and four-week immersive workshops. The school's pier location provides a unique seaside training environment and easy access for tourists and residents in Santa Monica, California. Equipment and protocols adhere to industry standards for aerial arts, with staff supervising ladder climbs, harness use, and landing techniques. Whether booking a single introductory flight, enrolling in a workshop, or reserving a private event, participants join a community-focused program centered on safety, progression, and the joy of flight. The school welcomes students of all fitness levels with clear safety briefings and progressive goals.
