* Let’s hope for the best…!

The forecast is calling for rain later this morning, but let’s hope for the best! The winds will be mild & the temperatures will be cool. The first class is on & we’ll update our site by 8:30a.m. for the classes after that. All the classes for this Memorial Day are sold out! This’ll be another great day to watch if you’re not already flying with us. This holiday weekend has flown by! Yesterday was beautiful with cool temperatures & hardly a cloud in the sky! Fix was cutting his teeth by catching Emma, MC & Jen and attempting to go for returns! Jordan, Dina, Biranit & Denise were flying with us again. JC & I caught his layout! Kristin is growing as an instructor; she’ll be indoctrinating our static trapeze program soon with some of our other instructors. We had great crowds watching & cheering our students on. And, at the end of the day, we had our staff fly session. The instructors & staff were having fun throwing positions in & out of lines. Chrissy was working on her flexus again. Karen was throwing her half turn/half turn. Jodi is well on her way to becoming a catcher! And, Catherine was working on her take off & split. Come out & watch today! Every day on trapeze is a good day. – Dino *

Just yesterday, I made travel arrangements to return to NY for the 1st time since leaving. With great excitement & anticipation, I'm gonna be at the Club Getaway weekend this June! Can't wait to see everyone again & fly! Hope to see you there...!

* Gorgeous spring day...!

This will be a pleasantly cool day with temperatures & winds rising only mildly. All classes are sold out today, but if you’re not already in a class, trapeze is still a great spectator sport! Yesterday was windy but so much fun. David is coming along well as a catcher. And, Fix is doing great on lines, boosting students higher & higher! Olivia was working the crowds with positive energy. Frederique was keeping everyone including me laughing! As for the students, Paula was catching with us again & she brought her brother, Rocco, along for the fun. Renee conquered some of her departure idiosyncrasies. Nina is developing her back end whip. It has been difficult for me to leave the rig for the past two nights. Friday night, we were catching in a light wind with cool students, and my Catherine was there with us! Last night, I left the instructors with a fun bunch of students during the last class. The winds had calmed down slightly as they were catching under the lights within a cool night. It was an almost intimate setting watching everyone fly. Yeah, it’s been a good spring… - Dino *

It's interesting, heartwarming & funny to look back on what we were each working on back then. And, two of the person's mentioned in this update below are now married...! (Do you know which two...?)

* Sunny & warm…!

Temperatures will be rising & winds will be picking up as the day goes on. There are still open spots throughout the day. So, if you’re not already signed up, come & take a class! I hope to see my regular Monday morning crew. As for yesterday, it started out cool, got hotter & even rained on us late in the day. Nonetheless, we had our first staff fly session; it was good to see the instructors flying together, learning new tricks. Chrissy is working on her flexus. David is growing stronger as a catcher. Ronnie was successfully catching students as if he were made of fly paper! And, we welcome Emma to the team! As for the students, Eddie celebrated his birthday by taking a surprise class his wife gave him. John, Katie, Nickie, Mike, little Lauren & others made their first knee hang catches! Paula was flying with us again. And, our growing hardcore crew was flying, too. It’ll be a great day! Come out & fly with us! – Dino *

Though we can't fly together for now, we have flown together in the past. So, to let you know that I've been thinking fondly of all of you, here's some memories from our past. Hopefully, we'll be able to create all new ones together again soon...!

"Many people will walk in & out of your life, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart.... Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why they call it the present." - Eleanor Roosevelt

* Looks like another beautiful day…!

Our forecast calls for warmer temperatures with some clouds & light winds. There may be some rain later in the day, but for now, we’re good to go! We’ll update you if the weather turns against us. All classes are full today, and if the weather holds, our staff will be flying together tonight! There’s much to watch. Yesterday, we made some new friends & saw many old ones. Jane & I were catching her beautiful straddle whip! We hope to see her again soon. Renee was progressing with her take off & back end tricks. Jen was throwing her layout again. Fred’s planche is developing well. We’ll see him again in a few weeks. MC is looking more comfortable with her back end tricks. Maria is working on her front end splits. As for our instructors, Allison is getting stronger with each class she instructs, and Ronnie is growing stronger as a catcher! I can hardly wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for us! – Dino *
