Flying Trapeze Adventures

“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.” 

Recently I attended Natalia's IFW (Intensive Flying Workshop) show at the TSNY Gym. All of the students  gathered to show off their talents and hard work that they had put in over the last couple of months. Some of the tricks were awesome, some of them were pretty scary, but as a whole the event was really fun to watch.
Each show has a theme, and this time the group chose "Color Wheel".

Basically everyone wears a color, and plays a song associated with that color while they are performing their tricks. Natalia Chose gold, and appropriately chose Kanye's "Gold Digger" as her song. She was actually really worried that she wouldn't look as good or perform as well as the other flyers because she was considered the newbie. Um, you can definitely tell that this lady has experience in acrobatics.



There was a girl that decided to go all out and dye her hair pink, and use the pink panther theme song while she performed her tricks. She painted her face and wore a tail. Other then Natalia, she was my favorite.



Natalia and the kiddos.


Here is a summary video of the entire evening:
