“I love taking classes that tone my body and soul without realizing how hard I'm working. Gwyn and Bill create a safe and fun environment for learning such a unique skill. I was so surprised how quickly I could learn new choreography and tricks with them. I really appreciate their years of experience in dance, acrobatics, and performance. I highly recommend this class!”

—Suzanne Boothby, Writer, Health Coach, Adventurer at Heart

“Taking class with Gwyn and Bill is a wonderful, inspiring and fun experience. They are kind, professional and safe. Both are incredible movers, especially Gwyn, when she flies effortlessly with Bill's support it is like watching something straight out of heaven. The air awareness looks easier than it actually is, but the time you're able to experiment makes it possible to SEE progress. A warm, enjoyable, affordable experience that I would recommend to anyone wanting to Fly.”

—Paige Allison, Stunt Woman

"To take Flying Classes with Gwyn and Billy is transforming. You can confront your fears of heights or being upside down because their gentle guidance and encouragement fuels you. I felt emotional being that free up in the air. I wish I could do it everyday. “

—Evita Arce, Swing dancer and Teacher at michaelandevita.com

“Flying with Billy and Gwyn at 5th Wall is a joyous exploration of the art of the impossible. For me, the vulnerability I feel aerial dancing is what makes my expression feel more grounded, no irony intended. Bill and Gwyn create a safe space for that vulnerability, and I am free to explore.”

—Jessica Krueger, Professional Dancer, Acrobat
