Woah. The way it's shot implies that she's being watched. It's so beautiful, but so creepy. I love it.
H. Boyle YESSSS! Intentionally voyeuristic
My thoughts exactly
Exactly!
I’d almost say that the end where she falls is whatever was watching her finally took her.
I’d almost say that the end where she falls is whatever was watching her finally took her.
I gasped when she fell out of the silk at the end
The real question is who didn't.
Saaaameee D:
@@merakinalani1753 me
Rebecca Jasso I didn’t, lol
Spoiler alert.
I love this stuff. The setting, music, choreography doesn't convey the "look at me, I can do this cool athletic move" which has it's place, and I'm not bashing. But this shows true artistic vision and excecution. Conveying story, emotion, and layers. Not just swinging limbs around in the air.
Thank you, for creating true art.
This is our goal! Thanks for noticing
Definitely, I just happened to stumble onto this and now I’m hooked, I LOVE it. 🥰❤️👍
PREACH IT!

Beautiful performance. I interpret this as a very morbid last dance before suicide and when she falls at the end she’s letting go and falling to her “freedom” and all that is left is the silks hanging from the tree flowing as she lets go
I love how you interpreted this dance very creative
the silks also loosely resemble a noose-
I interpret it as a transformation......as a butterfly goes through. 😂
She must have fallen into water 😂
That's very dark indeed...
Beautiful! I have no idea how people manage to make this look so effortless. My interpetation of this is the evolution of a caterpillar changing into a butterfly. At first she looks like she's almost sleeping, immibile and completely reliant on ths rope for support- a larvae. As the perfomance goes on, the dancer becomes more and more experimantal with her movements, finding a sort of independence from the rope and stretching it out more and more around herself, until finally she is encased in it. In that moment, she moves around the "cocoon" made from the rope, indicating a shift; and when she gets out of the cocoon, she stops for a moment, the rope almost looking like butterfly wings sprouting from her back and drying in the sun before she can take off. When she lets go of the rope completely is when the "butterfly" finally flies into a new life. At least that's how i see it!
the best avocado love this take!
Glad I'm not the only one who saw a cacoon! Granted, yours is a much better, in-depth analysis but still :)
This channel has had some of the only aerial artists that put the emotion and depth I’m looking for when I watch such amazing and talented work ahhhh 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
Wabi- Sabicore that is exactly what we are hoping to do with aerial- bring emotion, depth, and story. So glad to have you here!
girl: *lets go and falls*
me: oh sHI-
Wow. I see alot of ariel videos and think its just trick after trick and you can tell when someone is leading up to a big trick but this was so seamless and carefully put together and just incredibly beautiful.
Heidi Baltom that’s exactly our goal! Thank you for noticing
@@versatileassassins it was beautiful. Im definately watching your other videos.
Heidi Baltom yay! :)
Yes, and this is why I have stayed away from this apparatus because I never really cared for the way it looked but THIS? Oh ya I could get in on this style
This is creepily good. I love the way the lighting shows her silhouette, like your watching you shouldn't be but you can't tear your eyes away from it because its so captivating.
The way she drops makes my heart stop.
Incredible grace, motion and physical storytelling. Beautifully filmed.
I was depressed and feeling suicidal. Feeling pain about keeping living. I was suffering from it. I have had nobody to talk to. But when I met this beautiful dreamy video and music, I could breathe and felt eased after a really long time.
Amazing how art can help us process. Be that gentle non-judgmental presence that calms us. Say hi anytime and be well. - Erin
❤🌹
WOW😍😍 felt like I was under a spell ... sorry I want to say a lot of things but you have left me speechless.. I loved it💝
This is the most magical captivating performance I’ve ever seen😍
I did not expect to be watching a total art piece. I mean all silks routines are art but the setting, the camera work, and her absolute skill are magnificent
Julianna Allred 🥰
To this day this is still one of my favorite aerial silk videos. The setting, the song, the atmosphere-all of it was crafted perfectly together. Plus how the viewer was set gave it an almost eerie feel. I adore this.
Thank you for producing such beautiful content. As a film student and ex dancer (who had to leave due to major injuries) this makes my heart happy and has given me a new love. Thanks to your films and how much they show the artistic expression of silks I’ve fallen in love and watched just about every video on UA-cam and will be starting next week! Hopefully I can follow in your footsteps and crate beautiful works of art through movement and express myself in the air! Thank you so much for giving me a new way to dance and a way to combine my love of story telling through moment and beautiful cinematography.
With much love 💕
- your biggest fan.
0:34 lmao the guy on the bottom left wafting the smoke.
How did you even see that? Haha. I had to go back to that like 10 times to see it.
Incredibly good eye.
Haha.. 😂😂❤️❤️👍👍
Everything about this is perfect. Such grace and power seeping out of her. Wow!
This is the most breath taking performance i’ve ever watched! Its so beautiful! The choreography goes absolutely amazing with the music and the setting!
I love the fact that it’s in the woods or whatever you want to call it! It’s just so gorgeous and fits the song so well! What an effortless looking video in the best way possible! 💞
This video is absolutely stunning. Between the scenery and performance it reminds me of the stories of fae in the woods. It's mystical. It's like something you shouldn't be watching but are beyond captivated by. It's breathtaking. This channel is amazing.
This...made me feel so many many emotions. Some that I've had to come to focus with and fix. It's just beautiful. What your doing is beautiful. This made me wanna do aerial silks. Love the work and emotion. I see other ppl do it and sometimes I see no emotion or anything. I saw a lot of it in this choreo.💗💗💗💗
This is art. The way it's shot, her graceful movements and athletic power. This is a secret, a power, art and a dance all in one. Its pure beauty.
Out of all, this is probably my favorite. The grace and elegance definitely convey the beauty of aerial athletics.
I wish I could be that elegant😭
You can
Everything about this is just so amazing! The scenery and the music just capture the vibe and its so elegant yet creepy. I have literal chills! Amazing work :D
Amazing! More people need to see this.
This was gorgeous, I actually cried for some reason, Absolutely phenomenal job💗
the song and the mood even the eye make up...i mean it is just incredible, ill be sharing it beyond...
Dance with Rasa thank you for appreciating all the details :)
I'm so in love with this channel! The most hipnotising videos of aerial the I ever seen. You're amazing! And the emotions? Geez, you can feel. So in love! 😍😍😍
Ps: sorry my bad english, Brazilian here
Scarlett Lynda aww shucks! So happy to have you here!
It's incredible, I recently started going to classes about that, and the passion I feel for doing this and also when I watch videos about this, your video is beautiful, I could feel how well you rehearsed.
This is one of the most beautiful performances I have ever seen.
So beautiful this is pure aerial art love the song also it is so captivating to watch this keep making more videos like this because I just grew in love of your videos
Wow, this struck me as amazing! I am a dancer myself and I have my own aerial silk in my room and it is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing to do when I come home. I love making up my own dances and using the amazing fluid tricks that you use in your dances in mine.
This is beautiful 😍 obsessed with your videos, so much talent! ❤️
Truly a work of art! Beautifully done.WOW!!👍😎🔥
Stunning and haunting. It was a beautiful performance.
absolutely beautiful!!
Wow 😍😍😍😍i loved it i love lana del ray and it's hard to choreograph to her songs but you did it so beautifully ... You were captivating
This is so beautiful. Been looking for this song in Ariel Silks and you make it look so majestic and graceful. 😱💕💕😍😍 I’m an aerialist as-well.
Thanks Diane. What apparatus do you like best?
In love with Lana del Rey' original song from the Maleficent film ! 💕 Amazing performance. God bless your art, body & soul! 🙏
Love this song and this was a beautiful performance!!! Towards the end it reminded me of a butterfly coming out of his/her cocoon. ♥
Beautiful motions, beautiful nature, beautiful lights, fog, this performance is amazing
I'm completly speechless...
This performance gave me goosebumps! Thank you for the inspiration
Just wanna let you know that this is your first video I ever saw, I subscribe real quick. Its so emotional, the dancer's face, the song, the background, everything put up all together was jist so great that I cried. Thank you, thank you for existing.
Internet Wanderer thank you for existing too! So happy to have you here on our channel!
Its just so calming to watch 😊
As tacky as it sounds this performance gave me chills, it was so calming and beautiful. It made my heart leap when she let go. This was a good change in aerial compared to other artists, this wasn't a hardcore must get this move right mentality, it was very gracious and in the moment. Bravo💖👏🏼
That's our philosophy! Its about movement and story. Making it look effortless rather that making it look "hard" and full of "tricks"
goosebumps when she fell. THIS IS ART!!!!!!
Beautifull coregraphy ,beautifull choice...👍👍👍
This is so cool great job erin and selkie
Thanks Gabby!
So incredibly calming an beautiful. I'm taking classes now.
Breathtaking!
Everything about this. Amazing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
OMFG!! Guys honest. You did an incredible job here. The visuals, the sound, the light and the artists too of course. Respect and much love for you from the bottom of my heart. thanks for that amazing piece of art!
Breathtaking
It's so magical it feels ethereal. Like watching fairy or a nymph in the forest.
Beautiful dancing and a lovely rendition of the song!
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked it!
Woah! I'm obsessed with your videos! These are so good.

Da pra ter medo de quem possui a ousadia de dançar assim dessa forma tão eloquente tão segura essas fitas? Sensacional
I love everything you’ve made. It is so free! It makes me want to fly. I’m so envious. And I love Lana DelRay, so what a perfect pairing. ☺️
