I’m a 74 year old woman who has danced her entire life. You seem to be peering through time and space to know exactly what I need. Balance becomes a challenging thing for the aging brain. Alas, your use of barre and barreless workout is precisely what I need. I thank you for your tenacity to re-invent yourself as my personal ballet mistress.
I'm 71 - an ex dancer. I LOVE your classes. I miss it so much and will never be able to do what I once did but your classes are just perfect and you teach the basics so well Thank you!
I would love a hybrid with no intros BUT with the talking during the exercises. It is so helpful to have the tips while you are doing it and it’s motivating! I do the one with intros and try to FF to the exercise
Dear Kathryn Morgan: Thank you so much for creating these videos for us. You put your mind, soul and heart and we really appreciate it. I hope one day I can give you back what I’ve learned for you. Your videos are magic and I’m imagining I’m in a beautiful world without diseases (I’m an ER nurse) By dancing I’m escaping from the reality and I co-create my own reality. God bless you always Catti 🐝
This workout was really challenging. I am a fifty year old beginner but I’ve been dancing for about five years. I really have been thinking about you Kathryn. All the difficulties you have been through. I had been worrying and then I remembered, Kathryn is a strong woman. She gets knocked down then she gets back up and fights. I know you will find your own path that is right for you. In the meantime, you’ve inspired a middle aged woman who has health issues, to love the ballet you instruct. Stay safe.
I am a dance teacher who suffered a head injury a month ago. My doctor recommended physical therapy to regain my strength, balance and control but I knew that all I needed to do was get back to class! I started today with this class and it was a perfect balance of simplicity and challenge. It was lovely to focus on all the details. Thank you!
Just want to express so much gratitude for your videos. My 9-year-old rhythmic gymnast had to give up formal ballet due to schedule conflicts a few months ago, and her technique is really suffering. Ballet technique is so important in RG for muscle control. She started taking about 3 online barre and centre classes at home and has improved so much in a month. Can't thank you enough Kathryn!
I've been doing this 2-3 times per week for 3 months and today I FINALLY made it through the plié relevé exercise at the end! The last 8-16 taps weren't terribly high, but that's progress!
Wow! That was surprisingly difficult-- so valuable to me. I learned how much I was over-relying on the barre and actually off balance. I learned I was relying on the barre to gain extension (at the expense of alignment). That was quite a challenge, and I will be coming back to it as well as trying to reduce my reliance on the barre in other classes. Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much! After a surgery I'm painfully out of shape after just 1 month no class! And now it's lockdown again...This barre is somethin I can manage right now and hopefully recover my strength.
Hi Katie, I found your channel a couple months ago and I so appreciate all that you've done for us dancers who didn't start out at 2 years old. I'm almost 49 years old I've always loved dance and every form. Because of the pandemic I started taking online lessons with my ballet coach who also does figure skating which I do too. We both embrace ballet to help us look graceful and strong on the ice. My coach was no longer able to coach me so I looked online and found you! I appreciate your love and honesty about everything in the ballet world. I did this beginner workout about a dozen times and I would say I'm finally getting it! I'm really focusing on getting my basics and getting a strong foundation. I've seen much improvement in myself already. Appreciate you so much 🤗.
I love these workouts! But sometimes I feel like the beginner ones are a bit too easy and the advanced ones a bit too difficult. ONLY IF YOU WANT, could you do a 100% intermediate workout? I love your work!
I fell off a ladder landing on both feet. My knees took a hit. When I returned home after emptying a house practically by myself I broke my toe. I am so out of shape. I’m afraid to take a public class. I like the short classes. Your classes are wonderful thank you. I was able to do it enough to get benefit.
Hello, Kathryn! First of all, thanks a lot for you content it's always amazing and I always love it, i've been following since i was around 14/15. I'm 19 and have always loved dance, especially ballet, but was never able to actually do it, because classes and all the stuff are quite pricey in my country. I would really love to learn it (even if just the basics, cause it is a very good exercise and i've been needing those) but i don't have any equipment. I do have a full length mirror (not very wide, perhaps around 50 cm) and a variety of chairs in my house to use as bars, unfortunately no ballet shoes and no idea of what type of clothing i could use. Do you believe I can follow this bar (even though i don't know any of the basics yet) or do you know of some even more beginner level classes i can find online? I would also really appreciate any tips you might have. Thanks in advance for everything and keep up your incredible work. Love from Brazil 💕💕 (i commented this on the other video as well, but i thought this would be easier for you to see)
I am doing this at home. Just wear something comfortable, leggings, sweat pants, a top and barefoot or you can get ballet slippers online they are not very expensive. Chairs work as a barre too
I like this routine so much. It's definitely building my strength up! But I get a charlie horse on the last part. Still doing it tho!! Thanks for making this.
Hi Kathyrn! I heard from someone online that doing ballet from RUclips tutorials without a mirror or someone to watch will actually teach bad habits. I have done ballet classes before, so I already had some (small) sense of technique. I found their comment really sad because I've really been enjoying your classes, and realistically, I wouldn't be doing ballet very often without channels like yours. It seemed like kind of a perfectionist mindset. What do you think?
Im early!!II love the Disney theme!! Have you been back?(I know you and your parents were French Quarter fans.) Id love to see a video if you go back. (You and your man might also enjoy Beach Club-its my favorite, although this year we are hopefully trying Carribean Beach for Christmas.
Can you make some warm up videos for beginners to gain flexibility or just regular warm ups :) just came across your channel and I love it this will be so much help I am a beginner and thins will help me so much with hand movements and my feet thank you!!! Much ❤️
Which ballet slippers do you prefer and would recommend for an adult beginner working out from home? Thank you in advance for your response and hard work!
hello I don't know if you will reply but my grand jete has to land on one leg and stay and I can never stay when I achieve all the corrections like travel and out. and my grand jete often lands realllyyyy loud. Do you have any corrections for me please? my competition is in 3 weeks and I am so scared. (I commented on your video about grand jete but it's 4 years ago so I'm not sure if you will reply. that's why I'm commenting here if that's okay)
She has a video on ankle strength with Suffolk. If you look up Suffolk Kathryn Morgan ankle strength I’m sure you could find it! I did it everyday for about a month and it significantly helped me, although I’m in my 3rd year of being en pointe.
Hello there! Your age is exactly when I started pointe and I had to do a series of exercises to make sure I’m strong enough. I recommend all her videos to help strengthen! Get that theraband out!
@@ajesver185 thank you!:) I was a little bit nervous because I will be twelve in October and I didn't want to get en pointe late, but now I think I have nothing to worry about!
@@junebug2705 aww I'm so glad! pointe takes a lot of work and I think eleven and twelve are perfect ages to start pointe! just to be safe, I really recommend looking up the requirement of skill to have on pointe because I actually had to go through physical therapy to make sure that I was strong enough. best wishes vv :)

I agree! No intros but being able to hear your wonderful tips during the combination. Wonderful life saving classes during covid!

Thank you for this challenging beginner class...I was hanging on for dear life and really enjoyed it! Best wishes to you, beautiful Kathryn 😊
I have done this ballet routine almost everyday for 2 weeks now and my ballet has improved so much!
I have for at least 7 years now! :)

Best ballet classes I have found online so far!
I found this video at night. . It is hard to wait until tomorrow. .
The music is so nice. . . Lovely. .
Yay! put in my playlist: From Sunday to Saturday I do different ballet barre workouts from Katie every day. :D
I've been doing this 2-3 times per week for 3 months and today I FINALLY made it through the plié relevé exercise at the end! The last 8-16 taps weren't terribly high, but that's progress!
Thank you beautiful Kathrn.... always the highlight of my day!

Cannot wait to try this without intros. Though I do find myself pausing and rewinding...

I love these workouts! But sometimes I feel like the beginner ones are a bit too easy and the advanced ones a bit too difficult. ONLY IF YOU WANT, could you do a 100% intermediate workout? I love your work!
Variety can be good but yes 100 % of a certain type is nice.
Especially with speed of the battements - would be great to have something in between the easy/beginer barres and the intermediate ones.
Agreed. Even if the intermediate ones are just the beginner ones to faster tempo music
i live for these classes.
Music is also fantastic!
Hi!! it's Ana from Spain thank you very much for your classes. I am enjoying ballet again :)
Thank you dearly for posting this version! I love it!
I love your videos! They always inspire me to do more. Thank you so much for your time and effort!
Thank you so much! I really love your videos because they are helping me to make my wish come true.
My best wishes for you, you are so talented.
Thank you. That was awesome. This seemed harder than the more advanced class!!!

This is an amazing workout. Thanks for posting.
I've been waiting for this 💛
Yay! These are my fave! Much love from New Zealand!

I got so excited by Hairspray that I missed the start and had to rewind!
Ahhh so excited!
May I put in a request for a barre or workout that works out extensions? Thank you!!
Katie, can you do a "How to" video on développé arabesque? I have always had trouble finding the position behind me.
Thank you so much!
Thanks!
Can you make some warm up videos for beginners to gain flexibility or just regular warm ups :) just came across your channel and I love it this will be so much help I am a beginner and thins will help me so much with hand movements and my feet thank you!!! Much ❤️

What is the list of music played on this video, it was very nice?

Does anyone know the song that is used during Frappes?? It’s driving me nuts! Haha.
Is there no music link?
Hi Kathryn, how can I get on pointe fast? I'm eleven now and I am just wondering about some exercises to strengthen feet. Thank you:)
