Fly Boise

Fly! Boise is a nonprofit center for aerial arts instruction and performance. Center stage at Fly! Boise is the flying trapeze rig. Participants of nearly all ages and abilities will safely climb the ladder to the pedestal and be guided by 3 flying trapeze professionals to accomplish a trick which matches the flyer's ability level, culminating in transfer to a catcher on a separate trapeze and a gentle landing in the safety net. Beginning classes require no special skills; serious flyers may accept the challenge of ever-increasing levels of difficulty.
For strength-building, endurance, grace and fun, aerial arts can be a gateway of inspiration. Aerial silks involves long silk fabric upon which artists climb, spin, wrap and dance. Static trapeze participants hang, pose and climb in feats of balance and strength. Lyra is a circular steel apparatus on which to perform acrobatics while static, spinning or swinging.
