After years of not dancing consistently, the limited turnout I had seems completely lost. While in class now I feel like I fight and really force to maintain any turnout. Can you suggest any daily exercises that can make the most impact on my turnout? Great, awesome quick tips by the way! Thank you!

Kristin Becks Do exercises for middle splits and hip flexibility, this will help your turnout. And I also just stand in fifth position a lot 😊 but my turnout isn’t perfect as well

I actually have a condition where I was born with my hips turned in, so I don’t have good turnout or a good range of motion in my hips. Maybe try looking into physical therapy. If your hip hurts, I would also look into hip displasia

The developpé one changed my entire life... Katie's videos have helped me so much in such a short amount of time, I have improved A LOT. You're my new best friend, thank you so much for this channel!

I really love how straight-to-the-pointe (ha) your videos are. It's a lot easier to remember your tips in class with the short format! You're doing an awesome job!

Can you do a video on beating and how to get those quick beats in your jumps?

Ella Mottola 2 really big tips for beats are 1- engage your turnout and 2- use a deeper plié

question: people always say to use the inner thigh for developpés...what does that mean?

Use the back of your legs. If you start using only the top muscles your gonna end up looking like a body builder. That’s why squats arnt a good idea and neither are turned in leg lifts. When doing a position such as first try to make the back of your legs touch. Those are the muscles you want to be using.

It means don’t grip the top of your thigh, like imagine lifting from the bottom.

The muscle you wanna use is the hamstring, not the quad. If you focus on that you’ll turn out from your glutes, not your knees, and it’ll be easier for you to lift without pinching your psoas

Wow, I wish I learned about these things sooner. My teacher is the loveliest human being ever, but she never taught us what a difference your attitude and thoughts can make in your technique. I'll definitely try to use these in class tomorrow!

These tips are so helpfull! :) I just recently started ballet again and falling deeper in love every day ;) Greetings from the other side of the ocean!

I'm going to re-watch this video before every ballet class from now

Fantastic tips - balance, turns, arabesque - it's all stuff I seem to be forgetting when I'm tired or thinking about the combination, and it always works exactly the way you explain it.

I just got tingles in my chest from how excited i am to try these hacks in class...😮

I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU A HUG RIGHT NOW!!!!!! I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS!!!! YOU'RE AMAZING❤💕

can you help with frappes? the different ways to do them and how to increase speed without compromising placement? that would help me and my technique lots!!

I've been waiting for a video like this for so long from many different dancer youtubers. that one with when doing a pirrouette think of bringing the right arm back just saved my life.

I feel this comment so much.

I'm always so excited when i get a notifacation of your new video! I love your channel and it has helped me so much!

Great tips! Especially for pirouettes. Usually I only do singles or kinda bad doubles but I was doing solid triples, thanks to your tips! Keep up the great work! 💖💖

This helped me so much!! I've watched so many of your videos and have been writing down good corrections in a notebook and I've been so thankful you make these. I've improved already❤❤

All of your videos help me so much (I can't express how much)! I've been training at home, ever since I quit ballet classes. I am able to learn so much. Much love

A really helpful video! I injured my foot in my last ballet class and wont be able to dance for at least a week, but I'll rewatch your videos to feel a bit better :)

This is going to help so much- especially with the leaps! I am naturally flexible, but have a lot of trouble with big jumps. Thank you so much!

So helpful! My teacher told the same thing to us in class, but usually I am too busy arguing with myself inside my head to really pay attention. It is sooo much better to think it through when relaxing and thinking back to it. Thank you a million time!

That 1-inch longer waist tip is GOLD- everything that needs the work just falls into place. I think I’ll start telling that to my fencing students to fix posture!

Your tips are generally amazing!!

Thank you so much for this!!!! Especially that tip about putting the energy and focus on your standing leg/hip. Blessssss 💜✨✨

That developpe trick about supporting hip totally worked just now when I got up from my chair and tried it! Thanks for all these tips!

Who would have thought such simple details could make such a difference?? You're the best Kathy!

Thank you for this Kathryn! I literally only started ballet last month and I used your adding one inch to the torso hack in class and my teacher kept saying how wonderful my posture was, I'm having trouble with footwork and combinations but it's probably just because it's new and I have zero dance experience! Thank you from a new subscriber 😉

Could you do a video on tour jetes?

TsubasaDreams I seriously need help on those 😂😂

Great video! Thanks so much Kathryn! :)

Please do a part 2 of this! This was so helpful and I would love some more!

Counterbalance Placement: grow one more inch of space inbetween ribs und hips: enlongate your abdomen Turn: bring shoulder back and arm back (don’t swing your arm though) develope; Focus on standing/ supporting not on lifting leg (distraction) Arabesque: (opposite shoulder to toe) jumps: front food get out as soon as possible, think go up (saut de chat)/ out (grand jete)

The Developpé one helped me so much!!!!! before i watched this video my leg was basically only 5 centimetres off the ground and now i can lift my leg up over my shoulder while keeping my hips square!!!!! thank you so much!!!!

Unbelievably helpful, thank you so much Kathryn!

Wow! I absolutely love your videos! I already see much improvement thanks to you!❤️

Thank you so much for your invaluable help! We all appreciate it :)

Your videos are always so helpful! Thank you for uploading

I'm going to try the developpé tip tomorrow in class. I've been trying to figure out an improvement and this makes so much sense. Thank you!

I woke up and saw this video, and since I’ve always had an issue gripping my thighs I decided to try the develope hack, and it was EFFORTLESS! These tips are amazing and ao helpful! Keep doing what you do :)

Thank you Kathryn ! Your tips are really helpful ! 😍

This video actually helped me a lot, thank you for this!❤️

Thanks Kathryn those tips really help just doing them at home with your video. Now I will try them in class!

Thank you for these very important tips.

I LOVE this! Thank you so much for the tips! So helpful!

Wow Kathryn your videos are golden!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!👍👍 This helped a whole lot totally gonna use this at ballet

How do you get the back leg up consistently in a grand jete? Thanks for the wonderful videos, Katie. Congrats on your marriage! I have a friend who has been a shut-in lately and your workout/barre videos have been a godsend for her! Thanks!

Im so glad I have found you!! These are all so great and helpful!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH IT HELPED A LOT!!!

OMG!!! I realy love this video 😍😍😍 i know i'll improve my dance with your help. Thank you very much for this job, you're amazing!!!!!

Great tips! Thank you!

pure gold for a ballet dancer thanks again

Thank you so much. I've been struggling a lot with grand jetes!

This helped me so much. The adding an inch on to your ribs most. Thank you so much!

This is really helpful thank you so much I hope you can do more of these videos

these are great .im going to play this before every ballet class !

I am such a big fan! I have been doing ballet for 8 years now and I am hoping to be a professional one day!

The developé one helped me so much!!!!! It made me more stable in my standing leg and improved my height

These tips were SO helpful!! I really appreciate it 💛 thank youuu

Thank youuuuuu!! great video...as always....

this was a huge help. Thank you very much because my teachers in class kept giving me some of these corrections and i didn't know what i was doing wrong, now after watching this i already see improvements so i can't wait for class tomorrow!!

love it!!! thanks ♡

your such an amazing teacher!

perfect like always! love your channel! 😘😘

So helpful! Thanks. My daughter and I love your videos

Thank you for our great videos! I'm taking this to my students.

Thank you so much for making this video it's so helpful so going to use these hacks in ballet

I tried these tips at ballet tonight (especially the adding an inch one) and it really helped!

thank you this video is going to improv my dancing so much

this was so useful! thanks so much

I just started doing some ballet last october. I'm a 17 year old guy and I love it. I take a bunch of dance classes at my studio but they only have ballet twice a week and thats the one I really want to get good at. I do theatre so being a professional is my goal

thankyou so much, this has helped me so much, i have a ballet exam soon, and now i feel even more confident!

Hi Katie! I love your videos, and was wondering if you are taking suggestions. I would love to see an updated "how I sew/break in my pointe shoes" and an updated "what's in my dance bag" video. Thank you so much!

this helps so much! i have an audition coming up for an arts high school that would give me 4 more years of formal training during school, along with my studio time, and i hope these can help me get accepted!

I literally tried all of these and… WOW

the first tip literally helped so much

Thank you so much for this. :) It helps incredibly!

thank you sooooo much this is so helpful 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Fantastic video thank you

The tip where you put all your weight onto your supporting leg really helped because before I couldn’t keep my leg up and it would just drop a second after

This was magically helpful; thank you! :)

This is perfect for a late start who wants to join a company (like me 😂)

Thanks for all the tips!!

thank you so so much!! ❤😊😊😊

This video is phenomenal

love your practice outfit today!

This helped so much, I am only 11 and all my teachers are already noticing my improvement!!! Thank you so much!!!! You just earned yourself a new subscriber!!

This is so great as I'm doing my ballet exam next week and I don't have much more time to fix much more.

Hey Katie amazing video as always

Clara Friis Heyy, I had the same thing. I started focusing on strengthening my "turn out muscles" (Kathryn has a video covering that I think) When those muscles are strong, your position stays in place and you don't get pulled to the opposite direction/loose your balace. At least for me it was that.

Ur hacks really help me with ballet!!!

This helped so much. Thanks!!

thank you your the best thing ever

These are so amazing and helpful! Another tip my teacher told me for pirouettes: in your preparation, put more of your weight in your front foot; it will prevent you from falling backwards. Also, can you do a video on turnout/ how to improve it? I have quite the in-turned hips and any knowledge on how to improve that would be amazing!

Why that’s so perfect

super helpful! thank you :)

Your a genius thank you so much for this video!!!!

You are amazing thank you so much. You helped me so much 💕 ly + loveee your videos 😍💖
