​
Silks
Also known as aerial fabric, aerial silks are a type of vertical apparatus similar to the rope, corde-de-lis or Spanish Web.
​​​
​
Lyra
Lyra consists of a steel or aluminum bar welded to form a circle. It is considered a horizontal apparatus, like the trapeze. Lyra is most often used as a spinning apparatus.
​
Trapeze
Trapeze is one of the most classic aerial arts, and comes in a variety of formats: flying, static, dance, swinging and more. At GCC, you'll find Flying Trapeze at our satellite school in Williston, and dance and static trapeze at our Gainesville studio.
Cirque Fitness
This open level class focuses on core strength, technique and flexibility required to practice aerial arts. Both floor and aerial drills are worked through class.
​
​​
​
Handstands
Hand balancing an art form and an excellent cross-training element for aerialists. Aerial arts require a significant amount of hanging, while handstands require the opposite motion of pressing. Combining handstand practice with aerial training helps to balance the neck and shoulder muscles.
​
Circus Kids
From juggling, to silks, to trapeze, students work on a variety of circus skills throughout class! New students practice basic concepts of balance and fine motor coordination on the ground and in the air, preparing them for more advanced skills as they grow!
