Hi I'm Kathryn!
I am a former soloist with the New York City Ballet and Miami 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. Let's bring the joy back to ballet! You will see many different kinds of videos here including ballet classes, workouts, Q and A sessions, life advice, performances, beauty tutorials, technique tips, and more. I hope you find all of my videos helpful!

One thing I noticed from Federico is he is a very, very good partner! I watched his Sleeping Beauty with Fumi Kaneko and also Swan Lake with Akane Takada - all really show that he can adapt to his partner, match their level of energy, 'correct' and camouflage any slight mishaps that were barely visible to the general audience👏🏻
Alina is one of the most incredible dancers of all time
I agree! Xoxo
He's a wonderful partner too.
Bonelli is one of my fave male dancers. I’ve been lucky enough to see him perform live several times in London ❤
Definitely. So glad to see his final performance in Swan Lake with Fumi Kaneko.
And now he's director of the Northern ballet! Which is great
Bonelli is one of my all time faves. His performances in the classics, Macmillan and all kinds of other ballets are unmatched. It’s criminal his Rudolf in Mayerling wasn’t recorded as it was the best male performance I’ve seen on stage ever 😮
His Mayerling with Laura Morera was the best ballet performance I've ever seen (maybe tied with his Onegin). It so should have been recorded! I miss him greatly.
Alina is one of my favourites! Such a master of the classical style, and yet I feel somewhat underrated?? I love her precision but without overexageration. Her sensibility and musicality are beautiful. I'd love you to do Olesya Novikova, I feel like she's another one of the great classicists of our time.
I totally agree with your statements about Alina. She is much loved in Europe! What makes her very special is her ability to construct a character and play it out, beyond steps, technique, musicality (all extremely important, of course). She is an actress and ballerina. That is unique to her as an artist. "Critics' Circle Dance Award for Outstanding female classical performance Aurora in Sleeping Beauty (2017) Dance for You Magazine Award, Best dancer 2014 for her roles as Juliet and Giselle by John Neumeier (2014)" - from Google. She is amazing in ballets created for her by John Neumeier, never danced in America. Thank you, Kathryn for this treat!
@@1088RIL I know she's beloved in Europe (I live there haha), but I still find wild she has not performed in America. So many european stars have guested with ABT, for example. She would fit very well in their repertoire.
So interesting, Kathryn. Thank you. (And such serene, secure dancing from Alina and Federico).
So fascinating! I just love learning about all the tiny details in a ballet performance, it helps me enjoy the dancing even more. Thank you Kathryn!❤
.. oh!.. her arms..! they are so full of intention.. each and every movement has intention..✨🥰..thank you Katie ❤
Wow this is so incredibly informative. I love it. Please do more of these and have a fantastic day 🥰
I will! Thank you!
Lovely as always, Katie! And now I simply can’t unsee the guy “shuffling” haha
Right?! And Thank you!
Katie I am loving these.. while I dont dance these are hugely helpful to being an informed audience member and understanding the subtle nuance that is often lost when you're not intimately involved in the performance aspect of things!
They were so wonderful!! It would be great if you could deconstruct "Diamonds". And I have to say I really love these "deconstruction" videos! We learn so much from them.
Bonelli is such a fantastic partner, and Alina is divine!
Please could you analyse Miyako Yoshida's Sugar Plum Fairy Variation? She's still one of my all-time favourites, and I think she executes this solo really beautifully ❤
These videos have helped my dance improve from seeing how the ballet greats do things. Tysm Katie! I hope you do more of this series
Thats great. We dont fully appreciate what the men are doing. It almost goes unnoticed.
I missed this originally. If you ever do more I would love a look at Maya Plisetskaya and maybe a discussion on how technique has changed. I know you’d love her arms!
I’m a big Alina fan, her Aurora is my favorite! Also, Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg dancing Mayerling is insanely gorgeous and it gives me chills every time! Definitely worth a watch for those who haven’t already. ❤
Totally agree. I’ve always loved her Clara in the nutcracker as well. It’s so pure
What a treat it is to have not just any video from you, but a "ballet deconstructed" video!
Hopefully you have had a great and healthy summer so far!
As a non-dancer, I can only marvel at how dancers have to execute all these very difficult steps, while staying with the music, AND while portraying a character!
I like how you also explain what Federico is doing and how difficult that is while not being the star attraction.
Alina is very captivating and has a unique charm! When she was 15, she danced the most unusual variation I've ever seen! It involves a sword and actual gymnastics! You probably know this already, but Alina used to train in gymnastics, which is no surprise as she grew up in Romania! It sounds like the commentators were in awe (respectful shock? 😄) after she finished. That a 15-year-old can play this character so convincingly has got to be VERY unusual!

In case the link does not show, just search "Alina Cojocaru at 15." Although it must be pretty obscure, I would love to see an analysis of this!
I believe you mentioned that you would be dancing this exact Sleeping Beauty pdd with your partner in the near future? Is there any chance you will upload or stream this performance on RUclips?
Thank you very much for sharing your expert knowledge!
Do you have a RUclips channel community that one can join or Patreon or something similar?
Best wishes! 😍🙏💐❤
Have you heard of a ballet called Moon Reindeer?I've found the music but no footage. Maybe in the future you could do a video on ballets that dont get an airing very often,or have fallen out of current popularity?
Love this idea!
Love this! Super interesting! Also, as a non ballet dancer, it was very interesting for me to learn about how much the male dancer is doing that no one even sees!
Hey Kathryn, would you consider breaking down a video of Fonteyn and Nureyev? Her style is different from what we usually see now, and she was 47 when she and Nureyev recorded the videos of Swan Lake and Romeo & Juliette. Would love to hear your analysis of Fonteyn, especially from Romeo and Juliet - she's fabulous in the role and is such an important artist.
Thank you so much for these. As an Adult Ballet Enthusiast, this level of performance is something that I will never personally experience. If not for these pointers, it's a dimension of the art that would have been totally lost to me. It's enhancing my life !
Thank you for this analysis! I love Alina and Federico. Something Alina is nearly unmatched in is her subtle head movements that add so much to the character. I got to see her with ENB in Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall. It's such a huge venue that dancers have to emote so much to even be able to see it from so far away. She did it beautifully without being over done; a true artist,
I know literally nothing about ballet but I always loved watching it because it’s so beautiful and artistic, I have so much respect for it
Ballet is all about the choreography, the story doesnt matter! Ballet is such a marvelous art
ive missed your videos!! so excited to watch this 😊😊❤❤
I love your deconstructions! They are so educational.
Omg ❤ I have learned so much from just watching this! To say that Alina is amazing is and understatement 😮
Cojocaru and Osipova both have quite severe bunions, which makes their shoes look even more untidy. I think it's also probably why (apart from very strong feet) they wear their shoes pretty dead.
I very much enjoy learning about all the subtleties you point out in these deconstructing videos. I think this performance was graceful and gorgeous.
i love these sm, it helps me as a repetiteur and director so so much
Yay you're back!!
I love these kind of videos please do more. You are so precise in explain all the details great job Thank you very much 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Ohhh that’s why I saw in your Aurora, Katie. You two have similar vibes❤
I know I should keep my eyes on her--and she is lovely--but he is so drop dead gorgeous I can't keep my eyes off him! Even though he is always supporting what she does, of course.
Love it sooo much Katie ❤❤ I've been taking ur ballet classes on RUclips since I started ballet ❤🥰hope there is a RUclips class coming upp!
yes! her classes are the best
There are! For sure! And thank you!
I’d love to see you do one of these for Manon or Romeo and Juliet(MacMillan) 😊
The strength required to do this is insane! 😬🤪 Thanks for the analysis.
❤❤❤learned so much!!❤❤❤
I don't know a lot about ballet but at circumstances like that at 4:15 you really have to have a lot of trust in your partner. If he let her hand slip that could result in significant injury to her (falling down backwards like that). They must have a really good working relationship and trust.
It amazes me all the work put into the foot movements; movements where the total time is only a few seconds.
Absolutely loving these deconstructions. Fede and Alina are two of my favourites.
So many other classical ballets I want you to deconstruct: Giselle, Romeo and Juliet (perhaps the Frankie Hayward & William Bracewell film version for something different?), nutcracker, La fille mal gardée ❤
Loved this Video. Where are you, and Sean dancing Aurora?😊❤️
If someone was analyzing you (current projects or NYCB performances) what style dance or particular position/step do you think they would pull out as the example of “perfection”
I first saw her in Giselle and she was just stunning to watch. I would love to see a commentary on the Red Shoes (I'm a huge fan of the film) either the Red Shoes ballet or the Swan Lake scene.
This is great! Could you also analyse her Rose Adagio?
Katie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😄
Could you do act 2 vision solo with Nela or a dancer from roh as I have to do this solo for my solo evening at school and I would love to see your opinions? ❤️
Could you do an analysis of Olga Smirnova's Nikiya death scene?
I have fond memories of that room now. #adultballetintensive
I believe Svetlana Zakharova has some clips on RUclips. Any role of hers would be super interesting to analyze!
The first time I watched her in sleeping beauty on video I fell off my treadmill three times. Easiest run ever
Next Natalia Osipova's Act II Giselle please❤❤
She’s Romanian ❤️💛💙
Romeo and Juliet?
❤🩰❤️
Dangggg James wack a leg Valentino add. Pink
