The Aerial Hoop(also known as the lyra, aerial ring or cerceau) is a circular steel apparatus (resembling a hula hoop) suspended from the ceiling, on which circus artists perform aerial acrobatics and dance. This fun workshop will introduce you to the beautiful art of aerial hoop. You will learn spins, transitions, balances, moves under the hoop, moves sitting on the hoop, and moves above the hoop and in the ropes. As well as having fun, good technique and conditioning exercises will be introduced.

Aerial Silk(also known as aerial contortion, aerial ribbons, aerial tissues, fabric, ribbon, or tissu) is a type of performance in which one or more artists perform aerial acrobatics while hanging from a special fabric. Performers use the fabric to wrap, suspend, fall, swing, and spiral their bodies into and out of various positions. Aerial silks may be used to fly through the air, striking poses and figures while flying. In this fun packed workshop, you'll learn climbs, wraps, poses and drops. As well as having fun, good technique and conditioning exercises will be introduced. Some upper body strength, dance experience, or pole fitness experience is required to gain the most from this workshop (if you're not sure please just ask)
