I am soloist with Miami City Ballet a former soloist with the New York City Ballet. When I was a young student, I was always looking for insights into the ballet world and how to improve my dancing as well as beauty and lifestyle tips. Now that I am a professional, it is my turn to share.
On my channel I make ballet, beauty, and lifestyle videos for everyone of all ages. My goal is help dancers improve and achieve their dreams as well as open up the ballet world to non dancers. You will see many different kinds of how-to videos here including makeup, hair, ballet workouts and exercises, Q and A sessions, lifestyle advice, and DIY on this channel. I hope you find all of my videos helpful!

I almost cried when you talked about your parents being so supportive. What they did touched me to the heart! Your parents are amazing parents and you're very lucky to have them.
Hahah I thought I was the only one, I just teared up and cried when she said her parents have been married for 40 years and are still together
The young performance you did in "WHATEVER" was just stellar!! Such a profound leap from that little girl in the tap shoes to that graceful princess ! Unmatched organic artistry flowing out of that little girl!
Did your grandma get to see you perform at NYCB? She definitely predicted your future!

This is hands down my favorite video of yours. Not because the footage is cute (it is very very cute) but because you tell your beautiful story with so much honesty, modesty and gratitude, yet without self-deprecation. I am your age (a month older) and I have nothing but admiration for the passion, dedication and, most importantly, a sobriety that you seem to have had from such a young age and that I have only had for the past 2-3 years (and I'm everything but passionless or a slacker myself). Thank you for sharing your gift with us, especially the ones who are still in their early ballet years.
Dear Katie, I was in a doctor's office today waiting for an important test result-very nervous. I opened my phone and here was this lovely video to distract me and lift my spirits….thank you! (ps, my appointment went well)
8:56 wow that choreography IS AMAZING! It’s creative and super difficult and beautiful!
Not a single thumbs down Katie!! Shows how much your fans adore you
Wonderful video, Kathryn! I loved seeing the footage of you as a child. What an inspirational story. Jennifer xx
Hi! I really like your book!
I’m a very late commenter I know this video is 4 years old but I love the message you give about hard work , love and dedication along with the talent you are born with .
I agree!
What parents! She was never alone. Her mother and father made it all possible.
I loved seeing the little girl keep growing up and up and becoming a ballet dancer.
I'm a middle aged woman and felt moved and inspired by this video. Aspiring young dancers are very fortunate to have your example. :-)
Your dancing as a 15 year old was just stunning!!!

This may be my favorite of your videos! It was SO neat to actually see you progress in each video! Your were so cute! And I really loved seeing the "Whatever" performance! Thank you for sharing such personal footage with us!
I'm not a dancer, I'm a subscriber because I've always been fascinated by ballet and ballet dancers. However, I am a runner and a triathlete and you really inspire me to keep working hard towards my goals! :) You also inspire me as a person, I'm so happy I discovered your channel!! :)
THIS IS ADORABLE AWWW I LOVE THIS! IF I DIE, I'M GONNA DIE BEcAUSE OF CUTENESS OVERLOAD
Thank you!
you were snow queen at 15!? Kansas City Ballet put me in the same role - a soldier in the battle scene meant for younger students - for five years in a row until I quite. I loved performing and i was never given a shot until Alice In Wonderland when I was finally able to dance at my level, but then my teacher was extremely rude to me because i was 'different' since I cut my hair, I wasn't as passionate. I would love to go back into ballet but they just left such a sour taste in my mouth :/
I almost screamed when I found out I got a solo in my ballet 😂😂😂😂
FYI it is the little match girl
Ava the Dancer you were a match?

Congratulations!
Hi Kathryn. Thank you so much for sharing your story!! you know? I was born with the gift of singing, and I love it, but I also love ballet so much... I started as an adult, so it is impossible for me to dance professionally. It's ok. It makes me so happy I dance "just because". I was just watching this video and thinking of the wonderful career you have. I wish you the best in life. Keep on shining!!
No idea you were a military brat. My fiancé is in the Air Force. Love all this precious footage! And I’m a musician now, and anytime I would hear classical music as a baby and it made me cry every time without fail. Thank you for sharing.
I love ALL your stories! Thank you.
Such talent...and beautiful inside and out!
Your parents must be so proud of you. You are such a beautiful dancer ... exquisite
8:56 I would LOVE to see the full version of this ballet!! (I loved the Snow Queen and Clara ones you uploaded previously)
Beautiful. Fantastic port de bras & artistry at 15!
I’m 11 I started when I was 10. I’ve only been dancing for 14 months. I want more than anything in the world to go to NYCB.
its been four years! How’s it goin?
really enjoyed this video! curious tho, how many classes did you take a week to progress this far when you were young? I want to take more classes, but firstly financial issues, secondly I need to concentrate on my studies as well. just wondering how you managed to cope with both. Was dance your priority above academics?
Thank you so much for sharing with us! I love you and your videos. I didn't know ballet was a dream of mine until it was too late and money has always been an obstacle for my family. I still have hope that someday my dream will come true. :)
What a wonderful life!!!! Thank you for sharing!
Such a beautiful story ! 🩰❤️🩰
Thank you. Blessings.
You are so inspirational Kathryn!! You make me think that I can do great things too!!!
I didn't know you were from Alabama!! I am too!!
I'm from Mobile, Alabama! I know a girl who dances at Mobile Ballet from my school! I go on field trips to the Nutcracker at the Mobile Ballet all of the time. I started dance when I was 3 also but anytime my sister had any type of performance before I started, you could see me in the home videos copying everything they did. Ballet has always been my favorite.
this is incredibly inspiring.......thank you for sharing your story with us katie
I Loved Every Second of this video.💝💝💝
This was beautiful. You are so blessed to have such encouraging parents who care about you and your destiny. it's sad not many families aren't like that. (especially my my own)
Thank you Melody. Yes, I am truly blessed.
Favorite video from you so far!!! So enjoyed hearing your ballet story:)
Thank you Lorena!
Thank you for sharing all this with us, it is a special video. Your Whatever performance brought me to tears, and Im not a ballet dancer, just a lover of ballet.
Beautiful dancer! Just wow!
best video ever!!!! :)
Thanks Kelly!
Lovely video, I love seeing footage of your earlier performances. It's also lovely how you make me feel like you're a friend, you're very personable and don't shy away from letting people know your weaker sides or your struggles. You're one of my favourite people ever!!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely loved watching this video! Thanks Katie. Agh. I just wish I could travel to come see you dance or that you could come to Australia one day and perform!
OMG!!! I’m probably old enough to be your mother (or at least your Aunt), but I Have a Dolly was my first recital performance dance, too! Forty years ago!!!
how old were you when u went on pointe???
Aw this was so cute😍 I just had a ballet exam and another one coming up soon it would be great for you to do a video on tips for ballet exams
My mom is from Mobile, Alabama! And my dad is in the Air Force too.
Aww really? :)
Grandmothers REALLY have that thing ... they just KNOW that their grandchild must be put in a ballet class. I can't thank mine enough❤
This brought tears to my eyes
I love all your videos Kathryn!!
What an,absolutely beautiful story!! ❤ Brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing!!
What a beautiful video. This made my day Katie, thank you so much for being so inspirational ❤️
I loved this video! Seeing you grow as a dancer throughout the video clips was so inspiring. Also, I paused at 11:50 and it was very funny :)
Awwww, you were so cute and beautiful as a little girl! You're so inspirational
Hi Kathryn, I would have picked you out from your movements and an emerging stage presence in those very early videos! When I watch the later student performances that you posted, I think how great you would also have been at a company, such as, say, ABT, that focuses more on the classics. The NYCB lucked out when you picked it out as your destination.
Ha! That was a very pinky rosey ballet performance there :) Myth officially reinstated Kathryn thank you. Toddler ballerinas wear Pampers for tutu yeah LOL
Thank you so much for sharing. your journey, this was so SO fun to watch. You are an inspiration to dancers every where.
this is so great! thanks for making this!
Thank you!
no, thank you!!!! :)
What a wonderful story! Your positive and grateful attitude is such an inspiration :)
how cute!!!
actually, how inspiring!
Haha thank you!
Oh so very cute! and talented
Omg you were sooooo cute! 😂🥰🥰✨✨ I really hope I have a daughter one day who enjoys dancing as much as I do (for fun) and I can put her in dance class. These videos are too precious!
Oh my gosh, you were INCREDIBLE at 14! Just so much personality and charisma in your dancing! Very expressive! Captivating!
My first recital I danced to somewhere over the rainbow (wizard of oz) I was so freaked out, but so happy!
So sweet! Love this
Aww so sweet! 👑 🎀
You made me cry at the end, I really enjoyed this video!
Beautiful adorable video!!! It was a pleasure to watch it! 😊
Your start was similar to mine, the only thing is I had to finish out my year when I was 5. My grandma was the one who got me in ballet, she was also the one who bought my recital costumes. And also, you were a cute kid...
I loved this video!!! You are such a beautiful person and artist
Been waiting for a video like this for so long thank you so much!!! love your channel please keep uploading videos.
So dang adorable ❤
I relate so much to your story! This was truly inspiring! 😍
What a beautiful and inspiring video - thank you Katie! Xx
Your parents are like my parents and I did pageants from the age of 15 and now I have an adopted five year old daughter and she loves to dance.
so nice to see such beauty and grace...yes your parents must be amazing people to make someone so lovely as you!
Your story is so amazing!!! So inspirational!! It makes me want to continue to work hard in dance.
This made me cry X
I'm too lucky to have parents supporting me. I figure skate and do ballet. Private lessons for skating, and ballet class two times a week. We aren't rich but very well off to be going on summer vacations and live in a good neighborhood. I don't need to pay them back, just with very good grades.
love the background!
I started dancing when I was 3 and still do it.I have been doing dance for 7 years
This is the most inspiring video I have ever seen❤️
OMG u were so cute! I first recital was circus themed so my class was the popcorn girls! I really forgot that ppl were watching me! Now I take piano, hip-hop, ballet, and tap!
This is so inspiring💜 thank you🌹
Wow, you are such a beautiful person, and so inspirational! You really helped me, and I am getting my pointe shoes in a few weeks because of your help! Thank you!
Loved this video! Such a cutie pie! Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all! x
Thank you Cristina!
"Become the music" is such a Balanchine thing! Balanchine would have loved you. But how did you keep up with schoolwork if you were in a regional company at the same time??
I love what you said at the end, I too believe in the value of hard work and you're the living proof of that.
But I read that Christopher Wheeldon was in NYCB but he was from Royal Ballet school?
So inspirational!
Beautiful, Kathryn!
My mom went out to get me my ballet leotard and a skirt. Today I am attending my second ballet class. Wish me luck! ❤
BTW nice name! ❤️
I am 11. I started dance when I was 5. And I enjoyed ever since.
By the way, I like to say that u r my role model. How u made it to NYCB Principal role is just amazing!!! 😊😊😊 I hope to be almost as amazing as u someday.
Thank you!
What an amazing video! I love how thorough and informative your content is, Katie! Thanks for always putting in 110% :)
Our stories are really alike not exactly the same but I loved ballet when I was really small but I couldn't start dancing because there wasn't any ballet schools not even a dance school where I live but finally when I was 13 I started doing ballet and contemporary in the only ballet school in my city in just a few months I got to be a very good ballerina because it was my dream I got to be in 5 numbers of the reahersalI even did one on pointe and you are a very inspiring person I love you so much💖
Aww, what a cutie pie! 😊
Could you make a video about tips for teaching ballet, and talk about your experiences teaching?
this made me feel so emotional! although I am not that young for ballet world anymore I still dream to join a ballet company and I hope I can do it! you inspire me to hard work and still have faith on myself
i love this sooo much
Oh how I miss ballet... I got ill at age 11 and had to quit, I spent a lot of time in and out of hospital... I am still ill... I never got to go back and I miss dancing so much... my teachers told me that I was going to be big on stage and a household name from about 6/7 years old... I wish I could have pursued it... I did 3 small performances at my dance school and because I am small I always did the partner work because there was only one boy... we did multi genre dance(ballet, tap, modern, contemporary, jazz, lyrical, cultural etc.)but ballet was my favourite :)
Your parents are awesome. You're very lucky. As a child I wanted to dance and do gymnastics. My parents wouldn't let me but forced me into piano. They're also from alabama(around ft Rucker) and very religious. They had issues with the costumes and stuff of dance. I'm glad that I have a foundation in music but I wish that as a kid I'd had the opportunity to follow a passion because I feel I would have done better at something I actually liked and not something that I'd try to hide from(I literally used to hide when it was time for piano lessons when I was 4-6ish)
You are so inspiring!
Thank you Elisa!
I'm not really talented, f.e. I can't keep the order of steps in mind very well, but I wonder where I would be now if I had had the motivation I have now and more and better classes.
The early years footage was very inspiring. Thanks for that :)
This video is absolutely stunning ❤️❤️
Thank you Bonnie!
