What is an "aerial hoop"?
An aerial hoop, also known as a lyra, is a circular metal apparatus suspended from the ceiling that performers use to execute various aerial acrobatics. The hoop allows performers to swing, spin, and hold different poses while suspended in the air. Aerial hoop acts showcase the performer’s strength, flexibility, and control as they execute graceful and dynamic movements, creating visually impressive routines. This type of performance is often featured in circuses, variety shows, and aerial dance.
