Hi all,

After realizing I have neglected my blog writing, I thought I would take the time to sit down and tell you about something I am passionate about, and that few people know exists within the city of Detroit. Ever have dreams of running off to the circus? Of course you have. At one point in time I would bet money that it has crossed the minds of every child and adult (it still crosses mine). Fortunately for you it is not too late, and you can learn your new craft from talented trainers in your very own backyard.

Most people go to the Eastern Market to load up on produce, often walking right past what I consider to be one of the best hot spots in town: The Detroit Flyhouse.

The place oozes talent and art, and has every apparatus you ever dreamed of learning tricks on. Yes, I am talking about trapeze swinging, lyra hanging, aerial silk twirling circus acts. The skills taught at the Flyhouse are by far some of the most challenging, yet beautiful, exercises I have ever attempted. Each skill combines the flexibility of yoga with the grace of ballet, and is brought all together with brute strength.

Live closer to Ann Arbor? No problem. The Ann Arbor Aviary just opened, and is an equally amazing place. Visit http://a2aviary.com/

For real though, try it, you'll be addicted. Even if your 9-5 job prevents you from actually running away, at least you'll live out your dream for that hour you are there.
