Fly SchoolOctober 30, 1965 — Jean Shrimpton Wears Miniskirt to Derby Day
On October 30th, 1965, Model Jean Shrimpton shocked the Australian establishment by attending Derby Day, a significant horse racing event in Melbourne, wearing a mini dress with a considerably higher hemline than was acceptable in Australian society. In doing so, she brought global attention to the fashion revolution already underway in Europe, one that was changing the landscape of women's fashion from one of maternal imitation to one of individuality, empowerment, and youthful domination.
Fly School Circus Arts presents 'Daringly High', a celebration of the empowerment, confidence, and freedom found in doing the unexpected, flying in the face of limitations, trying something you never thought possible. In our classes, we constantly strive to give our students the feeling that they are rising above their own perceived limitations and others expectations. Each two hour class is geared to the individual, the first time student or the seasoned returning flyer. Ages 6 and up can participate alongside adults under 250 lbs.
The Fly School is located at 313 S. Broad Street, directly across the street from the Kimmel Center.
