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 chrismurphymusic.com/

[@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... :)

[@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!

[@rachelwatson2534]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@TrixyMinx4]

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

[@julietamourglia9479]

I'm amazed. You are wonderful!!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@darcieboatswain4173]

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

[@khawlah9491]

in my dreams I dance just like you ! congrats it's an amaaaazing performance !!

[@maudk4765]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@12nerdynerd12]

She has beautiful transitions

[@camilaaltese9192]

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

[@christinagulley7046]

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

[@lauradasi]

Thank you so much for your wonderful compliment!

[@ainjulleg]

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

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@KimonoFashion]

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

[@huggtrees]

I think this might be the most beautiful silks performance I've ever seen.

[@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]

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

[@lj3622]

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

[@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!!

[@themarz1992]

One of the best i've ever seen

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@PHONICIANFIRE]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@milanganesa]

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

[@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.

[@tRipleRdharma]

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

[@fangsmax]

I love how simple this was!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@altgrl88]

the most beautifull art in my eyes...

[@bacebaceb]

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

[@RozaCasey]

As someone who does silks and tango, this is amazing

[@LilyNoelleArt]

This is stunning. Thank you for sharing.

[@flaviapalmieri3204]

u're so armonic: every movement is full of grace. Congratulation!

[@lauradasi]

+flavia palmieri Thank you!

[@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.

[@yaninaperez5887]

Amé tu coreografía, prolijo y super encantador! saludos desde Argentina Laura!

[@mycatwilleatyou7569]

I am just learning myself and I'm going to take a thing or two from your transitions. It's beautiful how you make everything so seamless and meaningful. This just just proves that you don't have to be super aggressive or fast to have a beautiful performance.

[@irisponcia1437]

I do aerial silks myself and I reconised a lot of the trics but I never know how to make them look so elegant. Love this performance!

[@naianapadial3437]

You are awesome! Congratulations. You inspired me a lot

[@alexkoun658]

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

[@brianalily9215]

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

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@jocelot4812]

This is absolutely GORGEOUS Laura! :)

[@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.

[@heidisadonkorpi]

Beautiful! Love your expression!

[@ThisIsErikaRad]

REally beautiful!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@hothotheat3000]

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

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@PepperNelson]

Agreeeeeed!!!

[@aviel3361]

So skillful! The transitions are amazing.

[@wick3darling]

So beautifully done!

[@alisaritchie3410]

Impeccable! Bravo, perfect to the last drop!

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@carlosolvera7409]

Gracias Gracias Gracias saludos desde el estado de México

[@lauradasi]

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

[@annaphan1210]

It's breathtaking! You're amazing Laura.

[@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!

[@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.

[@vildejoha]

This is just so gorgeus. I have to try aerial silk

[@Leelafleur7]

breathtaking and touching

[@lauradasi]

Thank you!

[@merenaty130]

[@Emilbiany]

my favorite silks performance (:

[@lauradasi]

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

[@babychuck419]

I LOVE your musicality awesome job great performance.

[@lauradasi]

Thank you! Musicality, to me, is one of the most important elements of a performance.

[@tryskael]

Laura you are so beautifull!I´m also an aerialist and you are a big inspiration!The way you dance with the silk is so full of life and feelings...you have a perfect technic but also much more than that!Thanks so much for your art!If you ever come to Portugal,please let me know,i would really love to meet you!Patrícia

[@lauradasi]

Thank you so much Patricia!

[@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.

[@anacarolinacostasilva]

BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLL

[@nataliasantos3243]

At some point I was like, “DON’TGET TANGLED UP THERE!”... she was amazing.

[@lolifernandez8448]

Bravo!!!

[@metaphysiclstyle]

love it

[@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

[@moonfaire460]

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

[@jessicaturri439]

is perfect.. absolutely.. how you did??! It will be my dream be like you!!

[@lauradasi]

+Jessica Turri Lots and lots of practice!

[@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.

[@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.

[@noeb800]

muy bueno!!

[@user-up1wx4ou7h]

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

[@lauradasi]

My pleasure! I love sharing my art.

[@whoisteo4840]

So 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!

[@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/

[@lucindarowekamp2659]
