What circus themed blog would be complete without a post about trapeze? Ladies and gentleman, girls and boys, direct your gaze to the center ring.

A friend of a friend, Chanel Durelli, is an ariel artist. She teaches and performs trapeze professionally in the Los Angeles area. Always up for a little adventure we decided to attend a class and now we’re hooked, literally, by our knees, legs, anything! Hold on for dear life and try to look graceful while doing it. It’s quite a challenge, an exhilarating experience and an exceptional workout.

For those who prefer to leave it to the seasoned pros don’t miss your traveling or local circus troop. Many can be hired for events. What better way to liven up a party than to have people swinging from the rafters?
