Take an adult trampolining class
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
Club trampolining is a coached sport, not a bounce at a trampoline park, and adult classes teach jumps, twists and turns towards somersaults. Leisure centres in Chelmsford, Sheffield and elsewhere run them weekly.

What a class is like
Riverside Leisure Centre in Chelmsford runs one hour-and-a-half lesson a week in term time, led by qualified coaches. Adults learn jumps, twists and turns and work through British Gymnastics' trampoline awards. At Hillsborough Leisure Centre in Sheffield, adults start with the basics and can progress to harder moves and somersaults.
Places Leisure says its adult classes are for all levels and can be adapted for different abilities. Its centres follow the British Gymnastics Trampolining Proficiency Awards Scheme.
The rules are strict and practical. You cannot go on the trampoline without socks. Remove jewellery, belts and anything else that could damage the equipment or cause injury, tie your hair back, and do not take part if you feel unwell.

In the US, USA Gymnastics lists its member clubs, and trampoline and tumbling is one of its disciplines. It says membership does not imply endorsement, so ask each gym whether it runs adult trampoline classes.
