While it’s wonderful to be a 20-year-old prodigy on the fast track to becoming a principal, it’s so much more gratifying and meaningful to be a 29-year-old woman who’s fought through betrayal from your body, your husband, and even old friends and mentors who turned their backs on you, to earn back the career that has always been your dream. You’re a true inspiration to both dancers and non-dancers alike, in ways you wouldn’t be had your path been straighter and less rocky. Sometimes the fast track isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. 💕

Oh yeah. I've been away from my first love - aerial acrobatics - for three years due to chronic vertigo. I discovered Katie while cross training ballet to keep busy. I'm hopefully getting back in the air this summer. I don't fully know what this means to Katie, but I have a guess.

Hell yeah. Dont know what happened with her husband, just found out things didn't work out when she removed one of her channels, anyways yes well done Katy keep going girl!!! We love you!

I am literally crying right now, I have been watching your videos since the beginning and I never commented- vecause I do not do that very often I am SO proud of you, you fought so hard and now you get what you deserve, you are a amazing dancer, I could watch you dance for hours, in any role. You are beautiful, funny, graceful and you inspire me so much to work hard for my own goals, even if it's hard, even if it seems like everything is against you. You are the definition of "if life gives you lemons"! I know you aren't going to read this-in fact this comment is going to be lost, nobody is going to see this, but I struggle with depression, self harm and bulimia. I am a dancer and two seeks ago I danced without a jacket on and everyone saw my self harm scars. I only had the strength to do this thanks to you. THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH! I love you and your passion. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you! I'll be there to watch it :) ❤️🤗 love from Germany :3

As much as you probably wanted your comment to be lost it wasn't, I saw, and I am here to tell you no matter what you are beautiful, people love, people you haven't even meant care if you are alive, you deserve to be on this planet and to have an amazing life, just because you might not believe it doesn't mean it isn't true whatever you are struggling with it is worth pulling through cause you gotta go through stuff before you can truly see the light, I hope this helps and stay amazing just like you already are:)

Oh my gosh I’m crying 😭 so so so so happy for you! ❤️ I knew you’d get here and I’m like a proud mama seeing you work your butt off to get back to your dream. You are such an inspiration to me as a professional dancer (in musical theatre) sidelined due to two injuries. If you can do it I know I can, too! I’m so proud of you, Kathryn!! I hope I can see you dance in person someday ❤️

Best news I’ve heard all year. Or possibly all my life. I live in Miami and watch Miami city all the time. Congratulations to my favorite ballerina❤️ absolutely cannot wait to see you

YES KATIE!!!!! You’re amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I hope you know how inspiring you are to all people, not just ballerinas. I am trying to heal from thyroid disease not in a ballet company but as a stay at home mom and wife and I too have looked at myself thinking “I don’t even recognize who I am anymore.” I found you when I was looking for others with thyroid illnesses on KZread and I thought it was amazing how you were a ballerina and I felt like I understood how you were feeling when you had to resign. I’m not in ballet (i quit when i was young 😩) but i have a love for it & so does my 3 year old daughter who will be starting classes this year ❤️ Thyroid illness is no joke, no matter what your career is, it literally feels like your dreams are stripped from you and it’s so unfair. I know what you went through was very traumatizing as well as your marriage and I’ve been here to see you come up from literally the ground up. I woke up this morning feeling discouraged and heavy hearted for really no reason, other than wondering if I’ll ever be back to my normal self, ever. Then I see this video in my feed & I smiled so big. Thank you for giving all of us hope, and motivation to pursue our dreams no matter what they are and no matter what we are facing. I am so so so excited and thrilled for you! I cannot wait to follow you on this journey😍 much love to you!

I think I clicked on this video so hard I broke my thumb. I’m so happy for you Katie you deserve all the happiness in the world. Miami city ballet should be so proud to have you. Your beautiful whatever weight you are. I’m sure everyone will be so happy to see you dance again. You have a way of telling the story of a ballet that anyone can look at and be mesmerised. Also when I looked at your Instagram and saw you rehearsing giselle I was so excited I might have screamed I also thought you would be beautiful as giselle.

Oh Katie, I am utterly delighted for you. I even told my husband, who loves twirling manically to your tutorials as it makes me howl with laughter, and he is so pleased for you. I have Hashimoto's too along with other medical conditions. My ballet days are long behind me and I use a walking stick, sometimes a walking frame, these days. So your story has so interested me and now I am delighted for you. You deserve every moment. Please don't give up your channel, bring us with you if you can.... :]

“I’m going to try not to cry” *immediately starts crying* Honestly, same 😂😂💙

Kathryn, congratulations - you truly embody "Never Give Up, Never Stop Dancing" - I am so, so happy for you!

Literally crying I have never been so proud.

This might be a bit profane, I hope you will pardon the language because I feel it is so fitting, you are such a complete badass. The amount that you have overcome in order to get back to doing what you love is inspiring in so many ways, not just ballet. Katie, you will never understand what you mean to so many people. I have a group of friends and we're all adult ballet dancers, most of us started at 18 or older. You mean so much to us not only because you put out a lot of information that we don't get in adult classes, but you are so inspirational in that you never stop trying and you keep pushing forward. You are a savvy businesswoman, you're such a great role model for all the young dancers who watch you, and this is such an incredible achievement. I wish you nothing but the best, I hope I can see your before and someday. I told my boyfriend if/when you get cast as Juliet, Giselle, or Alice, we're road tripping out to Miami 😂

When I first started ballet, I binge watched all your videos! Now I am training at the Miami City Ballet School, and I can’t believe I will get to see you perform with the company!! You deserve this so much and I can’t wait to see you perform!

congratulations katie!

Absolutely thrilled for you, been waiting to here this for forever!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕

Katie, ever since you helped little 13 year old me with my school project, I have followed your journey with so much adoration as you are a truly inspirational women. You deserve this and I hope it’s everything you want and need it to be! Congratulations from me and my mum (who now claims you as part of the family !! ) you deserve this and so much more ❤️❤️❤️

Yes!!! Congratulations Kathryn! I've been waiting for THIS video since you started your channel!

Congratulations Katie!! I can’t wait to keep following you on this journey. Your dancing is beautiful.

Katie, I am beyond thrilled for you! As someone returning to ballet, I am in tears with hope and motivation. My ballet career ended abruptly because of severe injuries. It has taken me almost 9 years to return to ballet as an adult. And it is painful and joyful and a thousand things more I never expected. Your videos and your journey back to ballet has been giving me the strength to keep going, especially on the hardest days when I feel discouraged. Thank you for all that you do. You deserve this more than anyone! xxx

I’m crying!!!!!!!! Katie YOU DESERVE IT YOU DESERVE IT YOU DESERVE IT. And all of the struggles have made this even more powerful, you now have this platform and are going to be a shining light to more people than you know. Wow!!!!

Yesssss! Can't wait to see you perform. Congratulations!

I'm beyond happy for you! You had me in tears! Ugh! You're amazing! 💕💖💕

Yes to the Methylfolate. It's also great for mood support. I had a really switched on psychiatrist years ago that got me started Deplin (the fancy version of L-Methylfolate) and B12 and wow what a difference. Oh yeah I lost 150lbs too (along with surgery) but it was amazing to have my mind back.

So, so very happy for you! Can't even find the right words. Big congratulations and hugs. 💗 💗 💗
