I am in shock right now. Shock.
Leap Trapeze is closing.
I was looking forward to having my birthday party there in the spring, to taking more workshops and learning so many more tricks. Short term goals: straight jump, half time seat roll, cutaway.
What am I supposed to do now? Go to Club Med? Ashville? Hope a new trapeze place opens in Atlanta?
I'm just so sad it's closing. I knew it was hard for them to run the rig with their full-time jobs, but I thought they were making money. All the classes sold out and I thought they were really close to being able to expand and do trapeze full-time instead of part-time.
• They had so many athletes willing to work for them. Especially college aged ones that wanted to learn.
• It's hard to get a class there they sell out so fast
I just thought the next step for them was expanding—doing workshops, camps, more classes.
But they're closing. Shain's been looking really tired lately. He's been running all the classes since Kaz broke his hand. And he can't do it alone. I just really hope that they all get the rest they need and open back up in the spring—because they miss it too much. Really hoping that.
They moved here to open the rig. So will they sell the rig? Move away? Are they doing more classes in November?
I wish I had gone to Leap sooner—last summer when I first heard about it, and then I could have done more. But I'm glad I went—and got to learn what I did. I've been bugging some of my friends about going—or going back and now they'll never have that opportunity.
And I had so much to learn. I guess I'll spend the weekend researching flying trapeze and where else I can go. I feel like I need flying trapeze in my life. It made me happy. A fleeting happiness, apparently.
