HOOP

What is it?

Aerial Hoop or Lyra is the artform of exploring acrobatic movements, choreography and transitions in and around a circular metal hoop suspended off the ground. A hoop can be practiced as static or ‘spinning’ which is when a swivel is attached to the top of the rigging straps to allow the hoop to rotate or ‘spin’ adding to the  style of choreography.
