Awesome! Even I can feel the movement of this ... while sitting on the sofa and watching this. Such clear explanation! You re not just born to dance, you're born to teach.

Kathryn, I recently found your channel and I must say.... I LOVE YOU! You have reignited my love for teaching when I was feeling burnt out. You're just what I needed to remember how much I love it. I also miss performing, however teaching is where I am at now in life!

Good job for getting their! Good luck!

I'm so happy I've found your videos! I am learning a Paquita variation that's all about saut de chat and coupe jetes and this is helping a lot! You're amazing and a life saver!

You have such a nice, clear way of teaching and explaining things, it's awesome!

It´s my first comment to your channel but I have to say that I absolutely LOVE you! I am 26 and wanted to start ballet dancing for a while now and your channel convinced me that I should try that! You are sooo pretty and gracefull! Such an inspiration! Thank you so much for teaching us and empowering us to do ballet regardless of our age! Please keep on doing that! I have been binge watching your channel for 2 weeks now! :-D Best wishes from Bavaria, Germany!

This is so good! I especially love the tips for technique at the barre! Thanks for sharing!

Please make a video for 'tours degages(lame duck)'! thank you as always

Hi Dame K! I'm glad you're back at work & the flooding in your neighborhood went down. I'm in South Fla Near Boca Raton, so I will watch your videos (as always) and pada boure Irma far away. Xoxo Love u my Real Life Downtown Abbey Ballerina 🎀🌷

Sound got much better with your videos. Thank you for wonderful instructions always:)

Love your videos...i find them facinating...i don't even do ballet..keep them up

You are such a strong woman! You are my inspiration truly! One that I am proud of

Your videos are so helpful and so informative, you've definitely helped me to improve as a dancer! Also, my mum has Hashimoto's and she's really enjoyed watching your videos about how you dealt with it because she finds it really difficult sometimes.

The audio was really good in this video. Great job Kathryn!

I had to stop dancing due to money and then a really bad spinal injury and hernia. Thank you. You’ve helped me reach one of my dance goals I’ve had since I was 7 (I’m almost 21 now)

You're such a wonderful teacher!!! 😍😍💞💞

Love the new video. I know these days people talk about cross training, but I was wondering what you think about "artistic" cross training, specifically if your piano training has helped your dancing. It seems to me that the emphasis on phrasing in music would help with improving the "in betweens" that you mentioned.

Can you be anymore amazing? Because we've found the Holy Grail of ballet! Thank you so so much Kathryn! I love this channel! God bless. #BestBalletKZreadr

I did an audition For Nutcracker roles and I'm getting the results this Monday. I love your videos, Thank you. You have helped me alot. Could you please do more ballet hacks videos?

A video on flic-flacs and tour jetes would be great!! Thanks so much :)

Thank you so much that was very helpful!!! I really struggle with big jumps, such as entrelace, it would be really nice if you could make a video about them.

Thks K. It wld be awesome to see this and any jump in slow motion!

Love the video 😍 could you please make a pointe centre video? Could you also please make a video talking about how to improve your technique or as a dancer?

Katie!! Seeing you dance is a sight for sore eyes, after seeing all the devastation in Houston. Keep yourself, and family safe. When you have time, could we maybe please get a center, to go with your pointe barre? Love from California.

Thanks

OMG Love this tutorial! Also loving your leo! What brand is that?

Could you make a video for tips on the miming part please? Like on Nutcracker?

Could you make a workout for the arms and upper body? I know that you have one using light weights, but my upper body is really weak (also, I don't even have weights), so a workout that's also about strength would be extremely helpful, even if it's not what you typically need in ballet.

Oh i wanted to learn this for a long time but this is not in my class syilibus of The Royal Acedemy of Ballet. Is this a male syllubus? Thanks for showing this. Finally i know how to do it. But i need to practise more to be able to get up. I have retired 20 yrs from Ballet

Please do a video on how to control you body and like be tight and have a correct position and work your muscles idk if it makes sense sorry for this but I really need to get better at like controlling my body and not be tight all the time because I have had so many injuries because of it. Thanks

My feet always sickle on arabesque. What advice do you have for improving turnout on arabesque?

Hey Katie, can you please do a pas de duex video an advice and such. We don't have boys at my studio so it hard for us.

Hey Kathryn Morgan thanks you so much for yours dance video but for this one I didn't get it how you start the begining of your grand jeté.. when you turn at the beginning and at the end of your grand jetté.. Thanks .

I have a question. So about two years ago I broke my right ankle in two places. It happened in September but they didn't catch the break and put a cast on me until November. Since then I'm back dancing and teaching however I still have problems with my right ankle. Particularly when I do plies. It won't give at all. It's almost like it's cemented in place and won't bend so that I can plie properly. Do you have any advice for what could be causing this? What I should do to see if there's anything or anyone that I need to be seeing/doing to loosen it?

Hi! Do you have a video on how to do them from the beginning? My teacher said we’re doing them on Thursday and I’ve never done them before! It’s a university ballet class, so she doesn’t really explain how to do new steps.

Hey, Kathryn! Can you do a video about how to achieve that 90 degrees with your legs? Because I'm kinda rusty. Thank you! I love your videos

Question: what equipment are you using these days to record the video and sound?

Can you do an instructional video covering a whole short solo including how each step leads into each other but also include the history, usual costumes, variations... stuff like that. I hope this makes sense!

My dance teacher wants us to do Tombe pas de bourree passe. I am not getting the motion of the plie/releve across the floor. Do you have tips on how to not get two left feet with this combination? thanks so much!

Thanks so much this really helped

Hi Katie, what is your opinion of Capezio's new arch trainer "shoe"? Also, could you do a video about your favorite jazz/lyrical/ballet shoes? Which are your favorites for all around dancing/technique? Like, if you could dance in whatever shoes you wanted, what shoe would you choose the majority of the time? Which ones are best for turning? Leaping? Etc. Thanks! Love your videos!

Can you please do one on cabriole back?

I love the pas de bourrés! They are pretty easy to do. All you have to do is to start in fifth position and place the leg that is on the back onto the ground and then pass the other leg on second position and end with the leg you previously moved in front. With arms what you have to do is first position, second, and end in first. Hope it helps you

hi kathryn, I haven't directly commented on vid yet, but I have been a fan of yours for quite a while now, and I honestly believe without your videos, I wouldn't have been able to start my journey to a possible career in dance, at a vocational school, especially as a late starter. I also wanted to ask if you could possibly do one or two videos specially for male dancers. Perhaps you could colab with a male dancer contact? xx
