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 an artist performs aerial acrobatics. It can be used static, spinning, or swinging. Routines are an exciting display of athleticism, coordination and flexibility.

Aerial net is a type of performance in which an artist performs aerial acrobatics while suspended by a special net fabric. The performer uses the fabric to wrap, suspend, fall, swing, and spiral their body into and out of various positions
