Wow, I am so impressed with all dancers in this video. I was too scared to take part in the workshop because I thought I would be the only one who would be a non-(pre)-professional. I am so happy to see that to enjoy ballet and take part in your workshops the only prerequisite is to have a love for dance. Thank you (all) so much for sharing
I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me
ABSOLUTELY LOVE. So many of us dancing along in all of our spaces and with all of our beautiful bodies doing what brings us joy! Thank you for this, Kathryn!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Ohhhh it's so precious! And I'm happy there's older ladies, I feel less alone in my age group. I'm amazed how they were all able to make do with their spaces. Again 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That was really really beautiful to see - and all different ages and body shapes and levels of proficiency. So gorgeous! Thank you all for being brave enough to send your videos and let Katie put them out there.
I will shamelessly and loudly stan this and everything it represents. To all of you, sincerely, thank you for sharing yourselves with all of us. The ballet community needs to radiate more of this, a pure love, joy, and appreciation toward expressing oneself thru dance and movement. This was absolutely wonderful to watch, and I truly feel honored to have had the opportunity.
Ahhh, I hurt my back and couldn’t film my footage, I tried and my body was not having it. It was an excellent workshop. You all look great! Can’t wait for Black Swan!
I don't know why but while I was watching this tears started to pouring out of my eyes.... I'm having a difficult time right now with ballet and my life, and today was felling so down and dismotivated, but this video moved me so much! So heartwarming! To all of you dancers you are amazing, and Kathryn thank you really
This is wonderful, so encouraging and inspiring! It brought tears to my eyes, I'm so happy that I found you, and that I started ballet at home, in the middle of lockdown. Thank you to Kathryn and all the dancers!
Kathryn you are such a blessing. I was in tears watching this! So lovely to see the joy in everyone's face! I thought I was the only old person doing ballet! I love to see how many adults are sharing these awesome videos. God bless you Kathryn!!💖
This is so amazing! I love seeing the smiles on all of there faces! Congrats to everyone who got to do this it looked amazing! And thank you Kathryn for teaching the variation I love that you did it for us!
Awww.I just loved this! This is what ballet is about. Bringing joy to others through your own joy of dancing. Seeing all that concentration and those smiles on their faces made me so happy. And also it's just so heartwarming that Kathryn was so happy and proud of her students. Pure love.
Kathryn is not only a beautiful and wonderful ballet dancer but also an amazing inspiration to many of us out there, with such a beautiful mind she has. My all time favorite ballet dancer!:)
Just about time we learn that Dance is the hymn of life 💜 thank you Kathryn: you are doing such a great great job. And thank you EVERYONE to all these amazing dancers for showing the world what their song is. A song of joy. Please please keep doing this. Keep filling this world with the JOY of dancing. And this is said by a former pro dancer: it’s not necessary for all to be “perfect” it’s absolutely necessary for all to love the dance 💜
Oh, I just love this! Thank you! This is like a testimony to the concept that ballet is for every body, and everybody! You are doing such important, game-changing work. I am SO impressed by all these brave dancers! So inspired!
Good video in showing people dancing the variation in different locations and who are different ages. This is encouraging to those of us who older who are getting back into ballet that these workshops can be for us too.
Ah Kathryn..the bedroom ballerinas of the world salute you. Thank you for helping to make dancers of everyone who wants to dance. This made me quite teary. Thank you, all you gorgeous Lilac Fairies... 🧚♂️
Thank you so much for the video. It's just lovely. I am so glad that so many adult amateur dancers are featured, who seem to be a group that is often less visible in the dance world. I don't go to an art school, but my college has a very strong dance program with a lot of amazing dancers at professional level! So it's super easy to sometimes feel so overwhelmed in class since we put dance and non-dance majors in the same class, and even though we have six different levels provided, any classes at level four and up often have a bunch of just great dancers that leave me in awe. This video honestly feels much more normal/representative of adult amateur dancers and I am so glad to see I wouldn't have been that overwhelmed in such a workshop. The workshop itself is also such a great idea, since my college stopped offering Classical Variations class after COVID since it was meant to be strictly en pointe and they worry about students not dancing safely / with enough space at home. But this video really showed that it's possible. Doing variations is my favorite thing about taking ballet classes and people should just choose to go en pointe or not and adjust based on their home/studio setting. It's just too much fun to miss and even more needed for an emotional boost in the pandemic! I really want to sign up for your workshop in the future and hope more teachers will open up the possibility of teaching online variations classes.
Kathryn, this is THE BEST video of all! I am so moved...I'm cryin' like a baby! I send a huge hug to you and every single girl, young woman and woman who participated! You are all amazing! 💖🤗
Bravissimo! What a performance! YOU ALL NAILED IT! I loved watching your happy faces, SO MUCH JOY! Wonderful job, Katie! Love you all so much - CANNOT wait to watch "BLACK SWAN" next! XOXOXO
The joy on their faces says it all. Thank you for providing a safe space for dancers of all ages, ethnicities, body types, races and experience to express themselves through dance without fear of judgment or shaming. Dancers work very hard to perfect their craft, but without joy and love for their art their efforts don’t come through as beautiful as they could. My hat off to all the beautiful dancers who participated in this video, you’re all wonderful 💕
Loved the workshop! Thank you so much for the amazing workshop. Can't wait for black swan! 😍 Also these dancers are all so amazing! Dancing with what they have!
Very impressed with your students and your teaching. The joy they radiate should make you very proud. As someone teaching over distance for the past year, martial arts, I can tell you have the gift.
Kathryn, that was beautiful. I loved seeing all of your students dancing the Lilac Fairy variation. It's so interesting seeing everyone at different stages in their respective ballet journeys, and seeing all of their COVID work-arounds. :)
I'm almost crying. This motivated me so much to keep dancing. I get self-conscious about my level and my dancing sometimes, so this jus made me so happy. Hank you for sharing.
Yes. This. There is such joy to be had studying ballet, whatever your level. Dance on, every one of you -- be it in your kitchens, Lincoln Center, or in your heart and dreams.
This made me tear up!! Seeing a diverse group of beautiful humans keeping their ballet dreams alive. Thank you for providing the opportunity and space for everybody to nurture their dancer spirit and grow!
Brava to these stunning and courageous dancers for sharing their performances! I loved seeing a diverse set of students expressing themselves through art. Everyone who partook in this workshop is a stunning Lilac Fairy. 💜 And thank you to Kathryn for holding these variation workshops for dancers!
This is so amazing and it is so encouraging to see so many different levels and ages. It just really makes me so excited. 💜 Thank you to those of you brave enough to share
I love this so much! Bravo to all these wonderful dancers! Would love to see more videos like this and it has definitely encouraged me to take part in a workshop in future.
Great job to all the dancers and to Katie!! It’s fantastic to see that you can bring ballet into your homes and life even if you don’t go to a studio or formal dance school! Thanks for sharing
I’m super inspired guys , I broke my ankles yes both and always have pain . Now after losing 3 stone after being obese and after all the strengthening I am about to attempt my first barre class. I hope one day to get to a variation. Keep up the good work and Thankyou Kathryn❤️
All of these dancers were so amazingly talented! I’d love to do one of these workshops sometime if the times work out since it seems like a ton of fun!
