Hi - So I have removed mid-video ads. (I can't control what ads you see btw). BUT... if an ad interrupts your class, PLEASE let me know. But I think I fixed it! xoxo
I've gotten around this problem in previous barres by playing the whole thing first - since so far the mid-video adds don't repeat on the second loop. It's a good time to warm up, takes about the right amount of time.
Thank you! I already commented under the Video in question, but your long streaching routine video has 6 mid video ads for me, I would love to do that one again. :)
The adds are important - people need to get paid for the hard work they do to put these videos together. It takes a lot of time to put together a good quality barre video, and the equipment needed for the good audiovisual quality can be expensive.
I live in a VERY rural area with no access to in-person ballet classes. I’ve been following your videos for a month now and am having a blast! It’s taking a while for me to remember what I learned as a child but it is slowly coming back
Oh I love it, thank you!! So wonderful to be inspired to dance and be expressive at the barre instead of just focusing on bare technique (what I usually end up doing). So much looking forward to themed barres, such a great idea!
Hi Kathryn! I wanted to thank you for taking your time doing these videos. You have no idea how much I have improved these past months. My technique is improving everyday!! You inspire me
Ms Kathryn has opened now Baller Pandora Box...by sharing things with us...we never knew the secrets steps that makes ballet do enchanting and mysteriously beautiful form of art...
This is a wonderful barre! Really looking forward to the "no intros" version, to do it straight through for artistry and stamina. Thank you so very much for doing this!
It's between a variation and a barre! This will be a real challenge, but keep them coming. I just slow the pace to 0.7 when I don't get it until I get better.
This is a magnificent class, and a terrific idea for a series. I think themed barre (and center?!) classes will help us with our artistry, and mastering those character port-de-bras. Thank you for creating this.
Pro-tip - if you are really struggling to keep up on a few of the combinations, slowing it down to 0.95x speed helped me to make sure the technique was correct before bringing it up to full speed.
I LOVE these intermediate classes because I don't have access to a studio right now, but I'm finding it really difficult to accomodate soutenu transitions in my at-home setup. Having an option for at-home dancers to have a bit more time to move the barre to left would make it SO much easier to keep these in my repeat list. Love what you do and thank you for your passion 💜
I haven't smiled so much with a class in a while! This was so fun. I'm an adult in my 4th year of learning ballet and I am very proud I can mostly do this! As a Spanish person, I also have a bit of love for Don Quixote :D
I fell in love with this Don Q Barre. Except for the Class nights, I do practice with this almost every day at home now, thank you Kathryn, this is amazing :)
I was just going stir-crazy. But after two of your pointe shoe classes and this wonderful class (love the arms) I feel better and grounded again. Thank you so, so much for being there and doing such a great job!
Really good class, thanks! I've improved so much since I started "barre with no barre" and using your videos. You have such clarity and precision in your movement, I can see exactly what you're doing, and I feel like a better dancer just following you. You've been a real godsend through this pandemic!
Thank you! This was great, I really felt like I was in class with you. As a teacher of Beginners I often get so focused on the technique alone, and as I've been recovering from various injuries its been hard to remember as well, but this was such a great opportunity to explore my artistry a little bit!
this was definitely hard but its been a while like since 2017 that I do your ballet class and I do improve. not fast as I want but I am a better dancer because of your educational ballet video. I do it one video before to go to work and one after my work shift.
I loved this, the sweat is all over my body : ) thank you so so much, and I love the themed barre idea!! it's so nice how you keep challenging yourself to come up with new ways to share your knowledge, and with that how you keep challenging us to push past walls like you said. Really needed this, thanks again
Saaaame. I like to find a barre that's somewhat difficult for me and then do it everyday (or almost everyday) until I perfect it and I think it will take me a loooong time to perfect this one hahaha. But it's so much fun and I love the challenge
I hear you...I too studied ballet for many years no one teaches classes as she does no one even come close...I too have to rewind and a few classes I have to reset the speed cause some steps combinations are complex
Hi Kathryn, I am currently new to ballet so I have been doing your videos. They are so amazing and I love doing them! I was wondering if you could do a bit more beginer classes, as I have done them all. So alternativley I tried the intermediate, it was a bit challenging but still very fun to do. Thankyou for what you are doing ❤️

You are love.
I wish RUclips would give more control over ads. I didn't get any mid-rolls and I LOVED this class. One of my favorites!

This is, without doubt, the most amazing idea for barre ever. Such a good way to change up the routine and work on artistry! I can't wait to try it!!
Thank you! This also gives me so many more ideas for barres now. Because I will admit - I was getting stuck!
So understandable! I can’t wait to see what other awesome things you’ll come up with!
Best idea ever! I wish my teachers did this.
Kathryn is so successful because she is so respectful of her subscribers. She is looking slender and beautiful.
I'm so excited for this because I just found out we are doing Don Quixote for our spring show :)))
Good luck! 😋
How fun!
I love this idea, I‘d appreciate more beginner versions. Thank you so much for doing these barre classes to do at home!!
Will definitely do beginner versions for sure!
My wife and I struggled to keep up with this but as you say no growth is possible without effort and risk. I would call it a work of art!
How romantic husband and wife dancing together!
Oh I love it, thank you!! So wonderful to be inspired to dance and be expressive at the barre instead of just focusing on bare technique (what I usually end up doing). So much looking forward to themed barres, such a great idea!
Thank you!

WAY more exciting than normal barres!
Respect to another jaw-droppingly beautiful video of how to do center work but at the barre. You have noo idea how much I appreciate a DQ barre!!!!!!
I love this themed-barres idea, and yay for Don Q!!! Thanks Kathryn!
Pro-tip - if you are really struggling to keep up on a few of the combinations, slowing it down to 0.95x speed helped me to make sure the technique was correct before bringing it up to full speed.
Yea!!! Sounds so fun! Thanks! Hope you are having a great day!
My goodness what a terrific barre! It was tremendous fun and such a challenge. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow. Thank you Katie!
this barre killed me in the best way! Thank you for this barre class!
Love Douglas Schultz’s music!
Thank you, K! I was looking for barre to do while I’m traveling for work. Can’t wait 👏🏻
this was so challenging and really helped me with my port de bras! Thank you!
Thank you Kathryn. Another great bar. So glad I got to tackle this one. Love the themed bars.

Amazing idea and lovely music. I look foward to do it with my twinsister this week. Take care, Kathryn! Warmest regards from Germany
Love to you both!
Thanks a million! I love itttt!! Can't wait for a don q center theme!! 🙏🙏🙏🎉🎉🎉💃💃💃

I love your classes so much. I’m getting back into ballet in my kitchen and living room and this is just so important to me thank you so much
Love it!!!! Thousands of "thank-yous"
bravo quelle belle idée de proposer une barre sur une musique aussi jolie ! J'attends avec impatience une autre barre sur la musique d'un autre ballet
I fell in love with this Don Q Barre. Except for the Class nights, I do practice with this almost every day at home now, thank you Kathryn, this is amazing :)
this was so fun and so challenging! im a young dancer and i loved it
Don't mind me watching an entire advanced ballet class when I'm not even a dancer... :D
Thank you very much for another great barre........the music is so nice and strong, it takes me trough with pleasure!!!!!!!!!
What an inspiring class! Ah, the joy of dancing!
good challenge! will definitely be back more times to try and master this one!
I was just going stir-crazy. But after two of your pointe shoe classes and this wonderful class (love the arms) I feel better and grounded again. Thank you so, so much for being there and doing such a great job!
I am loving these theme barres. Thank you so much 🙏
We love you too, Ms Morgan!
Oooh I'm soooo excited to try this. Please please please do more themed barres or work outs. This is so much fun! Thank you so much!
This was SO HARD, but so beautiful and fun, more like these please!!!! YOU ROCK!
Such a great idea! I'd love to see a Giselle one too!
Really good class, thanks! I've improved so much since I started "barre with no barre" and using your videos. You have such clarity and precision in your movement, I can see exactly what you're doing, and I feel like a better dancer just following you. You've been a real godsend through this pandemic!
I love your ballet barre classes Kathie. Thanks for sharing!!!
I really love the video. Fantastic ideas. It is really challenging and that is the reason why I have made so much progress.
Love the “themes” idea, so fun! Looking forward to more.
Just looking at this, I am winded! But also super excited to do this fun barre! Thank you :)
Thoroughly enjoy this barre!! Thank you thank you thank you! You are the best
What a great idea to do themed ballet barres!!! Can't wait to try this one, thanks Katie!
Loved the idea of a themed variation class .......made it so interesting and fun while being challenged at another level altogether. Thank you ❤️
I love this idea - I'm looking forward to if/when you do another one!!
Aaaaaah, what an amazing idea 😍😍😍
Ah this was really fun! Thank you for making these videos!
Oh Yay! So pretty! Great idea. 💃♥️
What a great idea! Can't wait for a Swanlake-themed barre 😊
Wonderful, Thank you Kathryn!
Thank you! This was great, I really felt like I was in class with you. As a teacher of Beginners I often get so focused on the technique alone, and as I've been recovering from various injuries its been hard to remember as well, but this was such a great opportunity to explore my artistry a little bit!
What a great idea! Thanks Kathryn ❤️
Awesome routine! Last part makes me crave some Swiss cheese fondue(e) and have a frappe for dessert.
I also used to due this with my classes occasionally. Swan Lake was a big winner - I'm sure you're going to do a crazy good one of those!
Themed barres😍😍 this might be too advanced for me, but I’m definitely going to try!!
Same, if I can get a better grip on the basic barre - I am definitely going to be trying this one out :)
I'm definitely trying this out!! Even though I'm a beginner
I was suddenly inspired to take class late tonight, and honestly this was so fun yet challenging to do. Exactly what I needed🤗❤
Loved this class, Katie! Thank you for sharing!
Κathryn this is a marvellous ckass workout!! If you want make more of them !From the best thank ypu very very much!!❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐🌟
I saw your FB story yesterday and I'm a bit nervous to try this difficult barre. But very excited for this and more themed barres. More musicals!
Doing this class now... thank you!
This is so lovely and creative, it gives a different vibe and it's so elegant!
The hardest barre I’ve done this quarantine but had a blast doing it!! Thank you so much!! 🥵😅💪🏼
Merci beaucoup Kathryn pour cette superbe barre!!! J'adore ce ballet.
Thank you so much Kathryn for this great barre!!! I love this ballet!!

Omg I can’t wait to take this class!! You look so good Katie!
It'll be fun! she said. There will be Don Q arms! Oh yay, this is super fun! Wait... wait, wait now I'm dying :p!!
I just keep wondering how do you manage to explain combinations and do them at the same time. I'm literally breathless 🙈
I really loved! It was challenging and interesting and lovely. Thank you
I had to rewind so dang often and still messed up on most combinations, this really is the hardest barre we've had up until this point 😅
Same here! :)
Saaaame. I like to find a barre that's somewhat difficult for me and then do it everyday (or almost everyday) until I perfect it and I think it will take me a loooong time to perfect this one hahaha. But it's so much fun and I love the challenge
I hear you...I too studied ballet for many years no one teaches classes as she does no one even come close...I too have to rewind and a few classes I have to reset the speed cause some steps combinations are complex
this is so fun!! would love a romeo and juliet theme as well!
Beautiful idea🥰
Oh this is adorable, I love it.
Love this idea!💗
This is so great! I’m excited to try this one! I’d love to see some for the Tchaikovsky ballets as well 😍😍😍
Loved it so much!! I was faaaar from great, but so much to aim at to make my movements better :) Thank you for pushing us on! x
I didn't know I needed this but Imma go change and do that barre🤩🤩😍😍
Just what I needed!!
