Aerialympics 2018 - First Place JR Advanced Silks [Kamryn Bell~Aerial Silks]

[@bricelagrand1405]

This performance is absolutely breathtaking! God I hope I can get my straddle climb to look that seamless someday.

[@Katherine_critters]

I’m still learning how to do a straddle with out falling into the knot that I have for safety

[@backupaccc3691]

3:34 was my favorite part i thought she fell for a second and then i saw her ankles were tied and it was just so satisfying

[@antoniaortiz219]

This is by far my favorite silks performance. It's absolutely GORGEOUS! And that drop- absolutely breath taking!

[@springbonnie-cookie]

same

[@boobsmcgee279]

this is my favorite aerial performance i’ve seen :) it’s so fluid, graceful and flowy

[@hoa3901]

(what i’m replying to is my old youtube account) if anyone sees this, it’s 4 years later and i’ve started taking aerial silks classes at 17 :,) dreamed of it for 4 years and im finally here !!

[@instagamrr]

I simply can’t believe this is a Jr performance! She is the best I’ve ever seen!

[@lucyg9730]

Those drops are amazing!!! I haven’t learned them in my silks class yet, but I hope to be as good as you some day.

[@kamce3203]

Quarterbean 12 thank you so much! I wish you the best in silks!! :)

[@dddrakers]

I wish I could be like you! You're so amazing!! I don't see anything wrong with this performance. You 100% deserved first place. It was beyond gorgeous. That takes a lot of practice. When I do silks, I always try to get better. I've been doing silks for about 5 months now. I hope I can be as awesome as you someday even though I'm not that flexible. You did amazing.

[@kamce3203]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me! And keep working hard you’ll be absolutely amazing!

[@judithrevenberg6747]

O my god how are you not afraid to just drop into that ankle hang :o amazing performance!!

[@upliftactive6566]

Gorgeous performance!

[@KL-xs5qq]

Ah! The ankle hang was so stunning. One of my favourite moves to do!

[@MeganMSGX]

do you know the name of it?

[@juliadirusso9679]

I just found your video totally randomly as I'd like to start Aerial some day. Your performance was beautiful and you are definitely really skilled. You do not look klunky to me AT ALL!!

[@springbonnie-cookie]

that was me now im doing it im almost intermediate

[@morgan-reneebilhartz2556]

Beautiful.

[@naomigage7934]

GOD, YOUR STRADDLE CLIMB IS AMAZING. HOW?

[@springbonnie-cookie]

butiful ilove the ankle hang and whats the song called

[@reneeransom1641]

So inspiring! Great choreo!

[@lalabtu2601]

you should do more videos like that😉👏👏

[@TarotwithTalia]

you are so talented!!

[@thatgurlhope8713]

That last drop and to hurt so bad and with bare legs I can feel the pain just watching

[@rogerkreil3314]

I love it! 😀❤️🦶😍

[@amaliarodriguez5455]

Precious woman awesome!

[@umasen3165]

OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING. How old are you?!

[@kamce3203]

Uma Sen 17 :)

[@instagamrr]

Does the ankle drop crack your back? lol

[@jocelynf3113]

What the thing you did at 2:35 called? :)

[@JeannettieP]

looked like a triple star to me

[@emlybker]

Pretty sure it was a triple star drop

[@willyliltrickie7061]

fallback triple star

[@willyliltrickie7061]

how does one begin to do competitive circus?

[@dddrakers]

When you just fell to get into coffin hang, does it hurt your ankles? Or ankle hang, whatever you like to call it. I want to try to just drop, but I'm afraid it'll actually murder my ankles. Does it give you silk burn or hurt? I really wanna try it :)))

[@kamce3203]

Exploding Bananas during this performance my adrenaline was pumping so I didn’t feel any pain lol but I did it a few times for practice and it did hurt, you may have bruised ankles :/

[@LukaChesterton]

Hi, I also train aerial silks and personally I've never found it too painful, the pinch around my thigh on star drops and other sorts of drops like that have always been worse for me.

[@dddrakers]

@@LukaChesterton I'm intermediate, and ready to get bumped up into advanced. I don't know how to do star drop yet but from what I've heard, it's a tight squeeze but it's really fun.

[@cirqluka6110]

@@dddrakers The first few times hurt quite a lot (I did my first star drop on my 6th day of circus training) but you get used to the feeling, and double/triple stars DEFINITELY hurt less than single stars, which cause a really sharp pinching pain.

[@dddrakers]

@@cirqluka6110 Thanks for the information. I'm excited to try a star. I don't think I'm there yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to it

[@mariadelpilarfernandez8013]

Beautiful performance! By the way, what's the name of the song?

[@kamce3203]

Maria Del Pilar Fernandez earth by sleeping at last

[@SynthornCosplay]

I think you had a wonderful drop and it seemed quite graceful. How long have you been doing Aerial Silks?

[@kamce3203]

Just hit 4 years :)

[@kamce3203]

Just hit 4 years :)

[@deannak5501]

Anyone know that song?

[@agustin__]

2:29 nice drop

[@katiejustins9190]

i feel dizzy just watching this

[@yeranyfernandez9723]

Omg

[@queenhotcheeto340]

What’s this song

[@janajezkova3950]

Earth by Sleeping At Last

[@lalabtu2601]

song?????

[@kamce3203]

Lala btu earth by sleeping at last

[@ValerieWoodMusic]

Why are so many aerialists so klunky going up the silks? I understand this is an incredibly difficult sport, but it should also be considered a dance first and foremost....EVERY MOVEMENT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR GRACE. Seriously. I know this is harsh, but this is what separates the amateurs from professionals. Oh, wait...she's really young...sorry I said anything...I'm a jerk- she'll get there....

[@kamce3203]

Valerie Wood I’m beyond confused, I’m sorry you think my performance is “so klunky”. But I want to know, if you think you shouldn’t have said anything why did you post it anyways? If you don’t like my performance, please don’t watch it and move on with your life unless you had some actual feedback on how I can actually fix it and not have you complain about it. Please and thank you

[@ValerieWoodMusic]

That’s fair. You’re strong and obviously work hard. Here are some dance tips, and sorry if I hurt your feelings: 1) go up the silks about 50% as slowly as you do now: to slow down your movement, slow down your breathing. Tighten your core, remember people want to look at you, don’t rush, every second is an experience. Dance in front of a mirror as often as possible to understand clearly how you move 2) hold your poses about three times as long- you’ve made the effort to get into the pose- take a moment to enjoy it and let the audience really take it in 3) video record yourself often and review often- be honest with yourself about your strengths and your challenges- and watch lots of professional aerialists- get inspired from a lot of different people and study different forms of dance. Knowing how to move your arms in a flamenco or belly dance style would go a long way- do things no one else has done, even if it’s just stylistically.....These are my observations based on this video. It is my opinion that if you combine your strength with dance technique, you will very soon be an artist.

[@abbymyers4351]

Well, the judges obviously disagree with you, you know since she was amazing 🤩and got first place and all, so I don’t think anything qualifies you to call her performance “ klunky”

[@elisa.alexander]

Yeah there was absolutely nothing clunky about the way she climbed the silk. The speed with which she did it was impressive because it made the motion seem fluid, not rushed at all. If there was anything in this performance that seemed less than perfect it was at the end, when the silk got caught on her foot for a second, and then the bow could have been held a bit longer because she deserved the applause, but it’s understandable because she was probably exhausted after that! Definitely disregard that stupid comment, this performance was incredible.

[@annelieseb7521]

@@ValerieWoodMusic dude! Shut up! Nothing about this is clunky, and do you even do aerial silks? The speed at which she is going is what matches the song.This is a professional aerialist, and keep you’re stupid opinions to yourself!!! If you don’t mind why don’t you give me a time stamp of where it’s “clunky.” Thanks for being an idiot.
