This dance explores Aerial Silks as a dance instead of a circus apparatus and combines skills that were developed through exploration with Ann Berhends and my partner, the Aerial Silks. By viewing the Silks as your partner their a unlimited possibilities to the variations and timing of the movement. This is my love, my movement, and like the mind body connection in yoga this too will take me to "limitless" possibilities.
