Beautiful choreography. I also love the costuming (reminds me of a fairy, mermaid, or some other mythical fantasy creature) and silks (reminds me of white sheets which, of course, brings to mind Sleeping Beauty!) choice.

When you really don't want to get out of bed so you start playing in the blankets instead

I’ve been doing aerial for a few years and this still is super impressive. I knew the first few moves, but after she spun in a hip-key I was lost. Most of the incredibly impressive stuff was the speed, or lack there of. Doing things like eggbeaters (when she wrapped her legs then did a middle split) are super difficult to do slowly, for me at least. Keeping fabric from falling off is near impossible for me. As the hip-key I’m still in awe of the slow calm execution. Stunning. The climb in the beginning was awe inspiring, i can barely do that with two legs, let alone just one. Very good performance

This was so mesmerizing to watch. So graceful, beautifully done ✨

Ohmg. I used to do this with the curtains as a child. I did not realize it was a dance form

You know what was really nice? I mean all of it was really nice. But not only was everything perfect and not only did it go with the music perfectly, but it's such a relief to see a choreography smoothly executed and not just constant setting up for drops. Drops are cool and all but one does tire of the drama sometimes, this was so easy on the eye.

I wanna try Aerial Silk classes:( but i can’t split and i’m self conscious about my body, _,

I love this video so much. the song choice, outfit, choreography, her performance, video editing, everything about it is just excellent!

[ZazzyMeta]

I could sit and watch these performances for hours...so beautiful

[EM-cgiy]

Knee climb, dance wraps, splits, rotisserie to teardrop, hip key spin to thigh hitch to what I’m calling a fairy chair but don’t have the name for, then playing with leg position, back to hip key then secretary I believe. Even just the climb alone is utterly exhausting. This is so beautifully done.

Her costume is absolutely GORGEOUS (so was her performance)

[EM-cgiy]

I come back to this over and over because it’s so nice. Thank you.

Aerial silks are so much fun and a great workout, but this lady takes the cake! She has to have amazing core & arm strength for the moves. She is absolutely amazing to watch!❤

[addangel]

[brookemesser]

I’m going to start doing Arial silks and I’m excited and this is very well done, the music brings a nice stare of mind to the choragraphy
