You feel like your arch is going to give out and it is much more difficult to stay on point because you don't have that support. If you dance regularly on them you'll notice that your not getting the support you need. Hope that helped

Your toes will physically feel the floor. That and your arches start hurting a bit after using them because the heel of the pointe shoe is lower than your arch

Can you please make a video about taking audition photos and writing a dance resume? I love your videos, you’re incredible! 💗💕

The way she talks while doing the fouettes and finishes off with doubles effortlessly? Ended every career.

Your videos are incredibly helpful, thanks to you my technique is improving much quicker 🤗 I have a video suggestion: could you possibly do commentaries on some of your soloist roles? I think they would be just as interesting as principal role commentaries

When I do fouettés I end up halfway across the room. I much prefer jumping 😆😆😆

Fix: 1. Attempt a "travelling fouette" in the opposite direction of travel from which you'd usually end up going. Once you've mastered that, you will be able to do them perfectly "sur place"

Hi Katie! I can't wait to show my daughter! She went en pointe in the middle of July and has been struggling with Fouttes and Italian Fouttes en pointe ever since. A big part of it is she doesn't feel in control when she does them. It feels faster and it scares her. She has gotten so many helpful hints and tricks from you. We love your channel. Thank you so much for all of your help.

Love this!! Do you have any tips on overcoming mental blocks en pointe?

abby: Yes, in 3 easy steps: Step 1 - Master the step facing the barre, meaning that you're executing the step well with only a light hold on the barre (no pressing down or tight grabbing). Step 2 - Practice this step for a few days or weeks at the barre with both your hands about one inch above the barre - not actually touching it, but you will feel secure knowing you can grab it any time. Once you're no longer dipping down to touch the barre, go to Step 3 - Do the step still at the barre but with arms in 1st then in 2nd, still facing the barre such that your hands are still in the general vicinity of the barre. Once you're happy with Step 3 go try it in the centre and you'll be amazed!

this isn't related to the video, but you inspired me to audition for summer intensives for the first time! i've struggled with confidence issues and anxiety for a few years now, but watching your videos has pushed to face my fears and seriously pursue ballet. i auditioned for my second intensive today and it went really well! thank you so much for all your help!

This was just what I’ve been needing! I’ve been wanting so badly to get fouettes before my spring ballet in April, and these tips are really inspiring me, and I’m finally feeling like I have a chance to get them down. 💗💗

Your coaching is so spot on, I love your useful hints!

Oh how I could have used this a couple of months ago! But it's never too late to learn. You're beautiful and you're advice is actually helpful. Love you!!!

This video is the one that helped me the most with my fouettes, thank you Kathryn ! I was rolling through my feet and not jumping, that was exhausting and made me travel in the studio. Now I tried your way it changes everything. 🧡💛💚💙💜

Thank you so much! When the video finished, I started to practice my fouettes and I instantly felt the difference!! ♡

Kathryn, your videos are a game-changer for me! I've been doing your beginner pointe class and I feel as if my feet are already getting stronger! I also love how honest you are in your Q&A's and your #OnceUponAPointe videos.

I don’t dance anymore but I loved watching this! In fact, I recently found an old notebook full of corrections from class that I used to write down about maybe 10 yrs ago when I was a baby ballerina and one of the bigger ones was “always go to second in fouettes”!

Have never done ballet but watching your videos is so fun to watch! You look amazing! ❤️🌸

Thank you! This helped me so much!❤️🙏

I thought Id write a post and to say -Thank you for the videos. Im not a dancer by any stretch of the imagination but I have incorporated some of the stretching and work outs from your videos and I also try to do some of the "dance moves" -Sorry dont know what they are actually called, just to get a better balance and get a better "feel" of my body movement. I ride a motorcycle and in my mind this has helped allot with how I move and "feel" my body while I ride. So, doing a little "ballet" seems to make me a better motorcycle rider! Thank you again! I really like your videos and you look absolutely beautiful when you are dancing... well you also look beautiful when not dancing.. -Take care and keep on dancing!

hi :) i’m glad to see that ballet is helping with other things. just letting you know, you can call them dance moves but when it’s a series it’s called choreography. honestly, half of the dancers don’t even know what the individual ones are (me) i just say the name of the step(wait you can just call them steps) but again, i’m happy to hear that ballet is helping you. have a nice dayyy

We've been working on fouettes a lot in my class lately and I needed this so much!!! Everyone in my class has the basic motion down but we all have issues once we try to do more than ten and this really gives me the edge I needed! Thank you so much!! I think this will really really help.

Thank you so much, this is so helpful❤️ this summer I am going to be going away to Houston ballet and staying in the dorms at only 13, I would love it if you made some more videos on summer intensives! I have already watched all of you previous ones and they are great, I hope you can make more!!🧚🏻‍♀️🙌🏼

I will definitely add that to the list!

Something that helps me and that my teacher always tells me is to do a full revolution so that you’re body and leg are to the front when you roll down with every turn. I tend to roll down early (kind of like a pirouette) so then i have to swing my leg around further which then throws me off my balance. Just thought I’d add it in 💘

I never could do fettie turns and thats without points .but this is so interesting to listen to ONE DAY ! Iwill surprise myself . I practice your boot camp its brillent !

You made me think of that video TED-Ed about the physics behind the fouettes, also, great video as always!

AMAMZING

I just found your channel and I love it! Please could you make a beginners ballet class video?

This was so helpful! I hope you'd make a workout video, maybe cardio? (also, how to get lean not bulky muscles)

Hey Kathryn!! Could you do a video on some exercises and other things to do to treat sore muscles? I’ve been trying to stretch everyday and I’ve warmed up every time but I always wake up with sore muscles, sometimes my legs bug me and I can’t extend my leg as high as I usually can (It’s not a sharp pain, it’s just really sore) Thanks!!

Would you please continue your partnering tips? I’m about to start partnering for the first time with someone who is experienced. He’s also a foot taller than me so if you have tips on major height differences that would be amazing!!! Thanks! Much love ❤️❤️

Hi Kathryn! I was wondering if you could do a updated video on becoming a character in ballet. I know you did one for nutcracker 4 year ago but would be able to make a new one in general. I was recently cast as Gisele in my schools spring show where we will be doing the ballet. It would be helpful to have some tips on how to become such a mature and complex character.

My teachers always say whip the supporting leg arm around even a little bit more than the working leg arm. It helps keep you in your plum line

Kathryn, from all the pointe shoes that you had and experienced. Which brand is your favorite and why? Also any recommands of brand of pointe shoes for adult beginners?

Even though though I'm scared of fouettes but hopefully I will improve it eventually.

My other question is 12 years old and 13 too old to be en pointe. You are such a beautiful dancer! Keep making wonderful videos!

Can you make a video about after class stretching/relaxing the muscles? I tend to have really tight muscles the morning after class, and I dont know what to do? Could you maybe make a video with a small routine, that is easy to remember, and really stretches all the different parts of the body? :)

One of my teachers once told me that when you have to do a specific amount of fouettés that you should always do more..... so with Kitri or Black Swan the 32, you should learn 48 so 32 will seem a bit easier
