Hoop

Aerial hoop is a circus discipline performed on a suspended metal ring. The artist uses the hoop to sit, hang, balance, invert, spin, and move through a wide variety of poses, transitions, and dynamic movements in the air.

It combines strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and control, while also allowing for graceful and expressive movement. Aerial hoop can include both static positions and flowing sequences, making it a discipline that is both technical and artistic.
