Lyra\Aerial Hoop
Lyra is a metal hoop on which you can hang, twirl, split and intertwine yourself around. Whether or static, Lyra offers a fun way to adapt moves you may have learned on trapeze and learn entirely new skills. All Galinda's welcome!

Aerial Silks:
Two pieces of silk fabric rigged together as one. We climb, split and do many acrobatic drops, flips, rolls and like poses on.
Static Trapeze: A 1 inch thick metal bar, hung by two ropes. Static trapeze is a set bar that moves slightly but not necessarily meant to swing but some swinging might occur, there are spinning movements. We pose, flip, drop and dance around the bar and ropes.
