Tango In The Air

My recent Aerial Silk piece from "One World, One Show",a benefit performance for YMCA youth programs. Most ambitious routine yet at 7 min. I must say I am very proud! Music: "Tango" by Chris Murphy chrismurphymusi...

[@minibyrne4994]

As a fifty year old who has just started on silks, I have found your performance breathtakingly beautiful, and inspirational. Thank you.

[@lauradasi]

So glad to hear that! And good for you....we're never too old to pursue our passions.

[@classychicforever]

Mini McCusker I guess you really are not too old to start something, I really want to start figure skating, but I am 18 and thought I was way to old, but maybe if you can do aerial silks at 50 I can do ice skating.Your comment just gave me a boost of confidence. And this performance was beautiful!

[@sarahcrisp9194]

Ahh, same! I'm 18 in one month and I've wanted to start figure skating since mid last year but I was too scared haha ^^ Maybe I'll give it a go... :)

[@cheneysmith8377]

your expression and fluidity between movements is beautiful! I'm 37 and just started learning a few months ago and you are lovely inspiration!

[@lauradasi]

+Cheney “PurpleCAT” Thomas Thank you so much!

[@rachelwatson2534]

I would love nothing more than to have someone teach me how to do this. I need a teacher

[@WildDivaNymph]

Your previous dance experience really makes this piece shine and stand out from other aerial videos. Well done.

[@lauradasi]

Thank you. In my opinion, aerial arts are another form of dancing, an extension of that discipline and training. It's so much fun to play with and defy gravity!

[@WildDivaNymph]

I agree

[@xJellyMx]

I hate how the really GREAT and mesmerizing silks performances on youtube don't have many views like this but loads of technical and boring routines get more views....:/

[@lauradasi]

Thank you. I'm actually quite pleased with the # of views this has gotten.....more than 48,000 so far in 2 years.

[@jessicam7137]

Laura Dasi and now over 350k! Laura you are an inspiration! I strictly did pole, and after watching more aerial dance performances (this one in particular), I decided to branch out into all aerial ❤ thank you for what you do!

[@TrixyMinx4]

You make this look easy. I adore this aerial tango :)

[@ainjulleg]

So beautiful... This is why I love aerial silks. Amazing performances like this one.

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@12nerdynerd12]

She has beautiful transitions

[@darcieboatswain4173]

The timing of everything is absolutely perfect and gorgeous :D I love this.

[@maudk4765]

I love the way you move. Excellent act. It's not a routine of tricks, it's beautiful. You're amazing.

[@julietamourglia9479]

I'm amazed. You are wonderful!!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@camilaaltese9192]

That was beautiful and perfect. I love the performance,it was flawless, you must be proud, well done! Gongrats!

[@missxteen]

Beautiful! I just started aerial silks a year ago and felt so clumsy, but this video motivates me to continue! It's not just figures in the air, as teh others have already said - it's a cocktail of figures, movements and flow that combine into a dance:) Bravo!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you! I don't follow any particular diet other than to try to eat healthy, natural foods, not too much sugar or processed food with added chemicals. My mother is also very petite so I am genetically thin. Embrace who you are and appreciate your unique beauty and strength!

[@lauradasi]

The music is by Chris Murphy. This piece is simply called "Tango".

[@christinagulley7046]

Incredible performance, Laura! Well done - so graceful and beautiful. You are exceptional!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you so much for your wonderful compliment!

[@TheIIBA]

Wow, Laura, that is one of the most beautiful performances I have ever seen. What grace, strength and sensuality. Bravo!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. What a joy to watch.

[@KimonoFashion]

No matter how many times I watch this, still amazes me more and more.

[@hothotheat3000]

This is stunning. Just stunning. I just started silks a few months ago and you are an inspiration.

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@PepperNelson]

Agreeeeeed!!!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you! I am so glad to have found my way to aerial silks. I have such a passion for this art form and it only gets better from here!

[@lj3622]

These transitions were so smooth and beautiful, this is by far my most favorite aerial dance I've seen

[@sarahmrn115]

I recently started silks and this is one of my most favorite performances I've seen!! I've been a salsa/Latin dancer for 10 years, so it is SOOO awesome to see it tied into silks...this is such a gorgeous and creative routine, truly like a dance =o) different than anything I've come across yet! Lovely

[@lauradasi]

Shoshana Jacobe Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the dance aspect.

[@themarz1992]

One of the best i've ever seen

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@VivaLaCroix]

Laura OMG!!! Watching your videos inspires me to keep training on silks. I just started 3 months ago and I hope to someday be able to move as gracefully as you do! So beautiful and elegant!!! ❤️

[@lauradasi]

+VivaLaCroix Thank you! Keep up the hard work and you'll find your flow with the fabric.

[@brianalily9215]

Absolutely beautiful! Gives me inspiration and helps to remember why I love this style of dance so much! Well done!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@fangsmax]

I love how simple this was!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@milanganesa]

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Amazing performance, congrats!!!

[@PHONICIANFIRE]

She was amazing. Graceful & elegant. Takes a lot of work to do this.

[@tRipleRdharma]

Beautiful.. one of the most beautiful performances I ve ever seen.

[@AbbyNotASingerYet]

I know this is an older clip, but your talents are amazing, and thank you so much for sharing them. This is really incredible.

[@alisaritchie3410]

Impeccable! Bravo, perfect to the last drop!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@francesboffa717]

Beautiful!! I'm a newbie to silks (retired from Irish dance)...really well done : )

[@lauradasi]

Thank you.

[@evelynashley9468]

Laura Dasi I'm might be moving into hiplet or a swing/Italian trantella dance thing

[@Valentiniisimah]

Very inspirational performance! I love it!

[@lauradasi]

+Thelema Therion Thank you!

[@emilysmith9049]

WOW! I have been doing ballet for 12 years now (non-professional) and have started training in pole and silks. This is absolutely stunning! The strength that you have with this is incredible. The last drop was breathtaking; what was the name of it (I want to learn it :)? I saw your other video from 2015 and both dances have such grace and strength. I have watched a lot of silk performances on youtube and I like your's the best; your ballet background really shines through all of your transitions. A lot of other silk performers have choppy transitions when preparing for a drop or wrapping themselves in the silk for their next pose/move (I have no room to speak as I am the choppiest of them all as I am only a beginner in silks lol, just making an observation); having dance under your belt really shows through as there are no moments of choppiness or hesitation. Throughout the entire 7 minutes there are no awkward preparations and pauses while you're wrapping yourself in the silk; everything looks effortless!!

[@orlandoyouthcircus]

I just came across this video after watching something else. This piece is very well choreographed to the music with excellent form throughout. Lots of beautiful leg lines evoke the feeling of tango. Nothing excessive or extraneous. I appreciate seeing quality over flashy moves that are poorly executed, as is the case so often these days.

[@alexkoun658]

This is the most amazing thing i've ever seen!

[@ThisIsErikaRad]

REally beautiful!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you Kianna! I am loving this journey too. I truly feel I was meant to fly!!!

[@bacebaceb]

I always come back to this video, it's just amazing. probably my favorite performance.

[@DianaGarcia-vb8bc]

AMAZING! I just love love love your performance. I'm gonna show this video to my aerial silk group as an example of perfection. I hope one day be as good as you!! thanks for sharing!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you Diana. Where do you teach? I am available for workshops.

[@jocelot4812]

This is absolutely GORGEOUS Laura! :)

[@annaphan1210]

It's breathtaking! You're amazing Laura.

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@jodiearrington]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@lauradasi]

+Jodie Arrington Thank you1

[@sara10214]

I love how you roll down looks like fun :) you make this look so easy. good job

[@lauradasi]

It is fun!!!

[@maggiekasberger2412]

It is painful at first but fun too!

[@Emilbiany]

my favorite silks performance (:

[@Leelafleur7]

breathtaking and touching

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@AnaMaria-sh8sx]

you just helped me choreograph my aerial 1 final phrase. transitions were literally seamless, now i know the order of my moves. .

[@mollysimpson6654]

You have this way of climbing onto the silks that makes it seem effortless you move as if gravity ceases to exist for you.

[@accordingtosam]

Your endurance is insane. I've been doing silks for about nine months now and I love it, but I so do not have a 7 minute routine in me yet! Lovely performance!

[@lauradasi]

+accordingtosam Thanks! The endurance is something you have to build. If you don't do this already, I would suggest that at the end of a class or training session put on a song and improvise on the silks. See if you can stay up there for the entire song then gradually increase your air time with longer songs. Really gives you a chance to figure out transitions, how to pace yourself and be creative.

[@naianapadial3437]

You are awesome! Congratulations. You inspired me a lot

[@biancadiekreativen5140]

seldom seen someone actually "dancing" on silks - very well done!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you! Glad you appreciate the dance-like quality of my performance. To me, aerial arts is about so much more than doing a bunch of tricks. One needs to convey emotion, tell a story.

[@ΔημητρηςΦουντουλης-κ8ρ]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!i love it this video......really beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lauradasi]

Δημητρης Φουντουλης Thank you!

[@merenaty130]

[@vildejoha]

[@aviel3361]

So skillful! The transitions are amazing.

[@LilyNoelleArt]

This is stunning. Thank you for sharing.

[@cruxadventuresandfitness6407]

I love this performance!! Such beautiful choreography! You are a truly inspiring performer. What is the name of the last drop in this sequence?

[@lauradasi]

+Tiff Thank you! This is one of my favorite routines to perform...so much emotion. It seems that everyone has a different name of everything bit I call the last drop Lola.

[@Crumpetism]

that was beautiful!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@thepinkestfish-8083]

I feel like your dancing with the silks and not just on it . I love this piece . If I may ask for practice would it be easier to have my hair up or down ? Thank you

[@movementartduo]

[@lauradasi]

+anna s Thank you!

[@dianabuenavid]

Que belleza!

[@lenajuma853]

Wow, I've seen a few of your other perfomances, and they are so captivating! I love every second of them! I've only recently started the silks and I hope I can reach your standards someday, so I can make others as happy as you do. :)

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@jessicam7137]

After pole dancing for quite a while, I tried silks and I am now firmly under the impression that silks are more challenging than pole. I never thought I would say that because the strength, flexibility, and grace you need to be a pole dancer is what makes it such a challenge, but you don't have to manipulate the pole. Not only do you need to be graceful, strong, and flexible, but you also need to manipulate the object you are using for aerial dance. I think you need to be stronger in many ways because you can't rely on sticking to the object the way you can in pole. Sure, can wrap and lock your feet, hips, etc., but it seems like it took a LOT more upper body strength. I could be wrong; this is just my two cents.

[@oszivlogs2560]

I agree with everything you say, but I prefer pole dancing. On the one hand, it is easier to create a more energetic and dynamic dance choreography on it. Silks does not allow this. There are much more static movements on that aparatus, so the choice of music is narrowed down to slower, more melancholic music.

[@thomask.4530]

wow great Performance! I started silks almost one year ago but I have the feeling I'll never get this good :D

[@lauradasi]

Thank you! Keep at it...you'll get stronger.

[@ioana2739]

amazing!!!

[@ronaldcosta1850]

AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEI! TU ES PERFEITA.

[@Екатерина123-щ4ч]

Thank you for your beautiful tango! Laura - super!!! Вы прекрасны!

[@lauradasi]

My pleasure! I love sharing my art.

[@florenciacostapaz4022]

You are amazing, really!!! What song was that? I need this!

[@lauradasi]

+Florencia Costa Paz Thank you! The song is called "Tango" by Chris Murphy. chrismurphymusic.com/

[@oszivlogs2560]

The performance was amazing and unique. You should work as a professional circus artist. Can i ask how did you improve your flexibility?

[@saroyaarts2455]

Beautiful

[@ashleymoymurray]

Wow, that was so good!! Do you ever get dizzy hanging upside down so much or did you get used to it?

[@lauradasi]

I'm completely use to spinning and being upside down. 20 years of ballet trained the dizziness out of me!

[@lucindarowekamp2659]

Lovely

[@lolifernandez8448]

Bravo!!!

[@jenvu1234]

Laura, loved this performance! You are amazing! This is a random questios, but where did you get your leotard for this performance? I'm looking for a black/red/lace leotard and really like the one you're wearing here.

[@MatiasNeiff]

Hi, is possible use some parts of this (or other) videos in my music videos? With credits to your channel of course. I found your work finding stock footage. I hope you do not offend and thanks in advance.

[@lauradasi]

You are welcome to use my footage in your music videos, as long as you give me credit as you mentioned. And please share them with me when they're done! Would love to see.

[@MatiasNeiff]

Thank you so much Laura, I'm so so so glad to hear that. Would be a honor. I hope you have a nice weekend. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@whoisteo4840]

So beautiful

[@noeb800]

muy bueno!!

[@nataliasantos3243]

Soy fan.

[@metaphysiclstyle]

love it

[@Yoganut319]

Now this is interesting! I have NEVER seen a performer with her hair completely loose. I thought that bounded hair was a requirement but not so!

[@lauradasi]

:)

[@sakuraxu9206]

i would love to do this but i can't take classes how else can you learn this

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@lesliewofford9497]

thank you!!!!

[@joaobrito8088]

Muito lindo😍😘

[@heheh92]

wow this is amazing. I've been doing silks for four months now and love it. But my flexibility is shit. What excercises do you do to be this flexible or r you just naturally flexible?

[@newaveride3396]

Do flexibility and contortion exercises daily... You will build the flexibility required.

[@lauradasi]

I started training in gymnastic at age 8, then switched to classical ballet. Studied ballet for many years and danced professionally in New York City. Much of my flexibility is from discipline and training, but I believe I had a natural tendency toward that also which gave me an advantage. I've been practicing and teaching yoga since 2003 so that helps me stay limber in addition to my aerial work.

[@mirjananestorov2775]

PRELEPO!

[@moonfaire460]

7 minutes is insane. My hands feel like they're going to fall off after 2 minutes of simple tricks, haha
