It's because it's Pure transcendental Art. Not sexualized content to feed packs..!

I acknowledge that he claims it's the worst part in him. I felt this woman's Feminine energy and Masculine energy.. until the whopping power that comes with it broke through.. that's when I realized it. We're so used to women objectifying themselves that it's hard to think of one woman as a person anymore. I bet, What she feels is beyond what most women feel after all they do for attention and to 'feel good' about themselves. She probably feels like she looks ..👇 Her strength and flexibility came through the dance... So powerfully. Her smile was the cherry on top. It felt even more powerful..❤❤❤❤

The best part was her grace because I did not feel suffocated watching her. Brilliant performance.

[@ScarlettMoenkemoeller]

As a diver myself, I can say this is the most incredibly orchestrated piece of work I’ve seen; for it to be underwater below these depths makes it even more breathtaking. Just Wow. Incredible work

[@apeape06]

Is this green screen? An in studio tank? Or do you have a secret weight and o2 mouth piece on you?

[@tamzenkarma]

I have so many questions

[@Esciente]

Props to the sound programmer and video editor 😮

[@Deathnotik]

Это просто вау. Поражаюсь смелости и решимости, сколько пришлось дыхание задерживать... Никогда подобного не видела, это очень круто

[@briannabrown4961]

One of the most beautiful, sophisticated, and talented things I've ever seen. I can't even imagine how you would film something like this without a footprint. The stillness of the sand and water is unreal. No bubbles, no sand kickups, no debris floating everywhere. It's fantastic.

[@AllyVi]

I don’t know how this ballet could be possible over there, but wow!!! This video is magnetic and that woman is so stunning. 👏🏼

[@IfAllElseFails_Ctrl_Alt_Del]

HOW IS THIS NOT GOING VIRAL😱💙, I was mesmerized from start to finish with its poetic beauty. The ethereal & haunting visuals, made it more magical. Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much to who ever made this💙😲👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Alorajones19]

This is unreal. Just wow. The talent of not only the dancer but the videographer is amazing.

[@janysalinas6838]

A phenominal dance perfectly encapsulating what it used to feel like to be a kid doing tricks and dances under water at the local pool

[@glowfitness8796]

I appreciate the dancing underwater but the videography of it is amazing, it makes it so cinematic and compliments her dancing.

[@MidniightRush]

This is beautiful.

[@inspirestrength505]

That back flip into a split off the boat is unbelievably fantastic xoxo

[@lone-welf]

HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MILLIONS OF VIEWS. SHARE THIS VIDEO W EVERYONE.

[@andremusgrove]

Thank you!

[@Dr_Larken]

This was deep! The fact that you’re average person can’t even hold their breath for 30 seconds, amazing!

[@TommyJShizuko]

I love when random cool stuff like this pops up on my feed

[@ninuser7817]

Same

[@RainbowLane]

The best YT video suggestion I’ve ever had.

[@TheGeekMonster]

Wow! To be able to not only hold your breath this long, but dive down and then DANCE underwater - this woman is the most incredible athlete! Moving underwater takes more effort due to the resistance, and she makes it look so graceful and easy. I love swimming, but I'd be panicking to be underwater that long, and so far from the surface.

[@k.s.k.7721]

Considering how often the camera cut away from the dancer, I would expect this to be a series of short episodes, broken with her using an oxygen tank and/or being helped to the surface to breathe and regain strength. There was a safety team on hand, most likely consisting of divers, a medic and other professionals to assist between takes. This was a massive, physically demanding piece of work, and could have taken days to get every shot the way the director wanted. It was well-worth the effort.

[@vaderladyl]

@@k.s.k.7721 It took them three years to make, for only 4 minutes of film.

[@HotDollsGoneBad]

Just Bravo... Her last flip made me cry. Encore....

[@Noplayster13]

Gives new meaning to the phrase, ‘Dancing on Someone’s Grave’.

[@jessicaselenecenteno]

Exactly.

[@pepperrose467]

Moved to tears. She really embodies many of the feelings I’m having lately

[@andremusgrove]

Thank you!

[@neebsie]

As an illustrator, I dont think anything i could draw or paint would come close to this, this is art.

[@itsnlee]

Thank you YT algorithm, this work of art is absolutely phenomenal.

[@andremusgrove]

thanks for watching

[@lellolemon4367]

I can only imagine how insanely difficult this is! Really good job!

[@silkenaria]

Such a beautiful expression of the soul of a mermaid. 🧜‍♀️

[@andremusgrove]

thank you

[@queencupcake09]

Underwater dancing should be an Olympic sport. ❤

[@heimdal8]

It litteraly already is. Not like this but as artistic swimming.

[@queencupcake09]

@@heimdal8 yea, I literally already know that, but it literally is only ABOVE water in-sync dance swimming called synchronized swimming. I like the form on this video more though and think it should be included in the Olympic games.

[@BrigidNouveau]

@@queencupcake09 the name was officially changed to artistic swimming about 5 years ago. And they spend about 3/4 of the 3-4 minute routines underwater holding their breath and moving much faster. I think this performer started off a synchro swimmer. This is the kind of stuff we do when we mess about and the coach isn’t watching. It’s pretty, but kind of easy compared to what the athletes at the Olympics do if you take away the depth of this specific video. A lot of the flexibility moves she does are used as a warm up to Olympic artistic swimmers

[@marissaharp6197]

That’s insanity, how deep is she?! Wow that is so stunning and impressive and beautiful for real.

[@TellazDragna]

She makes it looks easy

[@MakeShow]

This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in years.

[@Robin-w8c]

The amount of trust you would have to have in yourself and your body……just WOW
