Aerial hoop
Circus apparatus
The aerial hoop (also known as the lyra, aerial ring or cerceau/cerceaux) is a circular steel apparatus (resembling a hula hoop) suspended from the ceiling, on which circus artists may perform aerial acrobatics.
It can be used static, spinning, or swinging. Tricks that can be performed include the Candlestick, Bird's Nest and Crescent Moon [1]
Connections
[edit]Tabs are the connection points where the aerial hoop attaches to the rigging.
I remember wanting to do this for months and months, I fell in love with aerial arts even though I had never touched a trapeze or lyra in my life.Most aerial hoops connect at either one point (single tab configuration) or two points (double tab configuration). The number of tabs an aerial hoop has will depend on how it will be used, the intended effect, and the performer's comfort level.
All rigging hardware that connects to an aerial hoop must be safety tested and certified to ensure the performer is safe.[2]
- Double tab hoops hung from two points (at equal or wider spacing as the tabs on the hoop) will swing like a trapeze (or a child's swing) and do not spin.
