Lyra

The lyra is a discipline that is gaining popularity as a fitness alternative as it utilizes flexibility and muscle-strengthening to execute simple to complex acrobatics movements inside a metal hoops suspended from the ceiling. The hoop may be fixed or swinging, used elevated on high or close to the ground. When a hoop is worked at floor level, the acrobat can use the feet to propel it and may choreograph moves, vary the speed, etc.

Lyra and Silks

Learn two disciplines – the Lyra and Silks – in a single class.

Silks

Tissu, also known as “silks” are made up of a long fabric folded in half to form two panels hanging from the ceiling from a hooking device. Using this fabric, participants can wrap, suspend, climb, swing and spiral their bodies in and out of various positions. Different levels are offered where the participant will gain their upper body and core needed to evolve through more and more complex choreographic sequences.

Dance trapeze

Like the static trapeze, a dance trapeze is a bar hung from two ropes, but unlike it, a dance trapeze is hung close to the floor, from a single point, which makes it spin. The participant will learn acrobatic and choreographic movements and sequences.

Duo trapèze

Discipline using a Trapeze hung at various heights upon which two acrobats execute moves and acrobatics without using the trapeze's swinging movement. The Static Trapeze employed by two acrobats strongly resembles the Aerial Cradle, as the carrier attaches himself to the trapeze by the bend of the knees, enabling the flyer to perform various aerial acrobatics.

Flying trapeze
