    I have just discovered your channel. I’m so happy I have found this video. I did ballet as a child from 4years until I was about 15 and had a good solid classical education. I’m now 30 and I have just started again. My flexibility came back pity fast and my technique was still pity good, apparently old habits die hard in a good way! I have been struggling with my strength and stamina, particularly working towards getting back on en point. This video and theses exercises have been so helpful. I’m suddenly making HUGE improvements in this area. Seriously THANK YOU.

    Hi Kathryn, I'm Zofia from the UK, and my ballet teacher had a chat with me yesterday and she said i have beautiful extension, flexibility and turnout but i need to strengthen up for things like develops in the centre. My plan is to tone up this summer and do workouts like this, and for balance and strength every day this summer because I want to go back with a bang this new year!! Do you have a recommended schedule or exercises like this that would help me as I tend to procrastinate a bit...? P.S., congratulations on getting married! I loved watching all your blogs. :) xxx

    Hi Kathryn. I've been watching your videos for a good year now and they are all so very helpful. I'm a dance leader at our church worship team and we used this video at our weekly practice on Thursday night and boy, did it burn!!! We are not trained ballet dancers, although a few of us have had ballet classes as a child. We are all in our late 20's, early 30's and I would say when it comes to ballet work, we are all beginners. Can you make more videos that would help strengthen the core? This video was very helpful and we will continue to do it from week to week until it becomes much, much easier.
    On another note, my husband has Hashimoto's and thank you so much for all of the videos you have done about this. He and I have both watched them together and taken some of your dietary and other advice and we definitely don't feel alone now. Thank you for that!
    Please don't ever stop making videos like this... I have bookmarked so many of them and am going to incorporate as much of them into dance practice and my own routine as I can. Thank you so much!!!!

I have one thing I struggle the most: I have huge difficulty on supporting my leg in the air... after a couple of seconds, my leg just "fall" or I get completely unsquared on the hips... Are these exercises helpful for that kind of situation? If not, I would love to see a video about it! Thank you and sorry for any grammar mistakes XD Portuguese is my first language!

    (Last ditch attempt to get you to see this comment...Sorry to everyone who's seen it several times!) Hoping you can help me Katie!! The studio I go to now only has 2 classes a week, but I can't afford to go to the other studio near me. I supplement my classes with 2 and 1/2 hours of workouts every morning and give my self class the days of the week that I'm not at the studio. But I know it's not the same without a teacher to give me feedback. Do you have any advice for what else I can be doing? And how can I let them know that I work for more than 3 hours of the week (there's no where to say that on a Summer Audition application form)?

    • @kathryn_morgan
      @kathryn_morgan  7 лет назад +26

      I'm sorry you are in that situation! I think you are approaching this correctly - doing something is better than nothing! So I'm proud of you for doing what you can on your own. Even if it is barre on the days you don't have class, that will make a difference. Could you talk to one of your teachers? Maybe you could explain the situation. They might be willing to work with you privately. Or even push you more in the classes you are currently taking. Are there other schools in your area? Maybe you could supplement classes at a 2nd studio. Many dancers have had to do that, myself included. I think you are on the right track - just keep doing what you can!

    • @jillianb2631
      @jillianb2631 7 лет назад +10

      The only other school within an hour and a half is the too expensive one, and I take Cecchetti method, so the classes are set. But the other studio does have a once a week Pilates-based class that I could maybe go to. And I will look into the privates. Thank you so much for making all of your workouts and barres accessible!!!!

    I've always had trouble keeping my hips stable. I can't really feel how to lift up and out of that supporting hip. Any visualization ideas? This was an especially excellent video for me. I have great intentions of doing this everyday. It's a killer but QUICK!

    even though this isn't what i usually practice doing, it helps a lot to strengthen my legs for other types of dancing so i think it's a really good workout!!

    Great exercises. Since my sciatic pain is in the house right now - I'll tell you what I have been doing. My cat and I have been exercising according to your instructions with a feather on a stick. :) She loves it!

    Tysm for this workout. I really appreciate it! Huge achievement for me: I made it to the very end of the video and I didn’t die doing this workout. (Although my calves do feel tired and I’m sure they will get a lot stronger after doing this workout.)
