CARISA BORRELLO


In 2010, I became the owner of the Trapeze Club. Flying Trapeze found its way into my heart the first time I flew here in 2002. I know I have a passion for something when I start to think about it regularly. I began training myself by replaying the movements in my mind, seeing my body do the actions at the right times, creating new mental body tracks.

Trapeze has helped me to gain self-confidence, to challenge myself to get stronger and to be aware of my body & mind while flying through the air. To learn to know where I am in space, physically, mentally and emotionally. Having the trapeze so close to my home has always felt like a blessing. It has been somewhere I could go to experience something extraordinary in daily life.

I was deeply saddened when I heard the Trapeze Club was going to close down. I immediately began to think of solutions and how I might be able to preserve the club's legacy in New Paltz. In 2010, I happily stepped in as owner of the Trapeze Club. I am so grateful to all the people who have been involved in the trapeze club for the past 12 years, who kept the dream of flying alive and available to us all. We are a community that shares the passion for flying and strives for new heights...literally.
