Childhood dreams of life under the big top can become a reality at the Toronto School of Circus Arts, where aspiring acrobats can step right up for an exhilarating lesson on the flying trapeze. Trained instructors show you how to take off from a pedestal and swing through the air on a fly-bar. Once you’ve mastered soaring with grace you’ll learn how to perform a daring trick mid-air. Have no fear—you’ll land safely in the arms of a professional catcher. Friday drop-in class 7 p.m., $25 per person; call 416-935-0037 to reserve.
