Tito Gaona, the premier trapeze artist in the history of circus, has become one of the master teachers of the art of flying trapeze.
About
DID YOU EVER DREAM YOU COULD FLY?
With Tito’s expert guidance and the use of the trampoline, nets, low wires, mats, and safety harnesses, students at his trapeze park in Venice, Florida, experience the thrill of flying in a safe and structured manner. Tito’s past and current students range in age from 3 to 86.
Introductory classes on the flying trapeze focus on beginning techniques, including landing in the net, takeoff from the platform, and basic flying positions. Sessions include warm-up on the low trapeze to stretch out, learn flexibility, and enhance body awareness.
During his illustrious circus career, Tito performed before royalty and thrilled fans with his daring performances with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s “Greatest Show on Earth” and the Big Apple Circus.
Known as The First Family of Circus, The Flying Gaonas (Victor, Tito, Richie, Mando, and Chela), were awarded the circus art’s highest honor—The Golden Clown.
