Aerial hoop (also known as lyra) is an apparatus-based circus art that brings acrobatic training into the air!

During this workshop you will learn a variety of poses, practice a short combo, and learn to spin!  Ms. Amanda at Activiate has a passion for athleticism and artistry, and aerial hoop is the perfect combo of both. The feeling of being up in the air moving through skills is like no other!
