Trapeze School

My wife and I were heading home along West Street in New York yesterday, when we saw two people practice on a trapeze. Amy and I have lived in the New York area a long time, and neither of us have ever witnessed any outdoor trapeze acts.

The equipment belongs to an outfit called Trapeze School New York. The institution trains "flyers" and "aerialists". I don't know what qualifications one needs to make the grade, but I would think checking off "vertigo" on the application form would be a real non-starter.
