You will see many different kinds of how-to videos here including makeup, hair, ballet workouts and exercises, Q and A sessions, lifestyle advice, and DIY on this channel. I hope you find all of my videos helpful!

She makes all those stretches look so easy. I don't even do ballet or any type of physical exercise. I'm just a crazy writer who thought it'd be cool to make her main character a ballet dancer. But now I want to do ballet.
Rachel Litchfield you should do it! The personal experience would help you writing as well😉
Did you write that book? I would like to read it xD
@@SoftyM20 I'm wondering if she wrote the book, AND if she started doing ballet.
You all probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
Omg that is actually so incredible. I just did the stretches and ohmygod my splits just got like 50% better in like 10 minutes! Lol thanks!!
clairebear64 I am so glad to hear that!!! Thank you for telling me! :)
I danced since I was a kid. I quitted dancing for 15 years and now I'm back at class. I was very frustrated because I had such good extensions and I totally lost them in that 15 years (obviously). I took this routine 3 times, and yesterday, I could do a penche. I almost died of happiness. WORKING ON SPLITS! THANK YOU KATHRYN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a personal trainer....looking to increase flexibility and I am SOOOOOO thankful that you teach proper form and proper transition between exercises!!!!!! It's so hard to find "quality" flexibility videos....I know this is for dancers, but this is an excellent supplement to my normal routines. Thanks!
Would you mind addressing the dangers of over stretching and going for over splits? I see that is Really popular nowadays. At ballet school they taught us a kinesiology course and really Stressed how dangerous it was to attain this kind of flexibility. That ultimately it led towards: misalignment, vulnerability to injuries and will even shorten your ballet career.
+Betsy Kirkland yes, I'd like to hear about it too. I find it relatively easy to go into oversplits. I've heard that it can be dangerous and make you voulnerable, but I find that my old hip injury gives me grief if I don't maintain that level of flexibility.
Mirjam Zautina That's interesting… Well, I don't know enough about it. Hopefully Katheryn sees this post ;)
ben and holly
Imagine your muscles as an elastic band, if you over stretch them it all never have the same elasticity and will snap. You can prevent your muscles from doing this is you do certain exercises to count act the stretching.
Hey, I'm an adult beginner, I've just discovered your videos via your en dedans pirouette tutorial. I've been finding your videos really clear and helpful. Thanks :)
I love love your channel the best...You're great
arin Cirillo Thank you!
I've decided to become a professional this past year and wanted more advice from pros, took me forever to find the right person. You help me become a better dancer!!
i adore your channel and how you explain everything in details, with every possible mistake. I want to ask if you could do a video for plies, because i want to figure out myself how i can get a deeper plie and yet relax more. it would be good since a plie is in many steps in ballet and by doing perfect plies would help doing the rest better too.
This is amazing! Love these stretches and your tips to keep things safe and injury-free. I was wondering if there are any specific stretches to improve your hip crease for developpé a la seconde. My hips get really tight and crunchy, especially to the side, sometimes it feels like there's so much "stuff" getting in the way. Any tips? Thank you so so much for all these videos! You are delightful to watch.
Margot H Hey, I'm not Kathryn but i used to have the exact same problem and something that has really helped me is rolling out my hips before class for 15 to 20 seconds with a roller ball. (a small tennis looking ball is good) Hope this helps!
I just love the closet full of pointe shoes in the back
Love love loveeeee this routine for opening up my hips I've been only stretching my hamstrings which has done nothing for my splits and caused injuries along the way.
Is that a pointe shoe closet😍😍😍
I love that pointe shoe closet 😍
This is has seriously changed my life. I stopped ballet for a while and thought I lost all my flexibility because it hurt while stretching, but I just wasn’t warming up before and I was doing the stretches in the wrong order! Again, thank you so much Kathryn, you are so amazing.
You're like the best teacher ever. Most useful stretching video ever. Thank you so much !
Can you do a warm-up routine to be able to stretch directly after? :)
yay this was such a helpful video! Thanks so much! I like how you take the time to really stretch out the entire body, even the less said of areas like the neck and the achilles, arches and hips etc. Many videos here just go straight to the splits and im happy how you really prepared us for it instead--i actually got all the way down today and i never thought i could, maybe its due to me not going through the entire process of stretching the hamstrings and hips etc before trying^^ Thank you and have a great day!
I've had my splits for as long as I can remember and even my over splits. I've also done this routine before but for some reason today I did it and went into the split it felt so good and relaxed thank you I'm gonna start doing this more often!!
I just started doing ballet and these stretches help so much. My calf’s were super sore from class and after doing these stretches they felt so much better. Will absolutely be doing these stretches before class from now on
Thanks Kathryn. I have been struggling with my flexibility for over a year now. I like your routine. It's simple and straightforward and makes a lot of sense it terms of the order of the stretches.
Thank you Kathryn, I am a ispiring ballerina and I've been trying to get more flexible to reach my splits I've clicked on all other split tutorials but none worked until I found you're video which actually got me to the splits!
I would like a workout where you hold the stretches as I won't remember to go back etc...I love this! Would just like you to hold all the stretches
Thank you so much! I've never taken a ballet class in my life though I would love to someday. I've been a black belt for about two years and have trained for 7 years. (Since I was seven years old! Wow. Half my life.) I love karate and one of my favorite parts is stretching. This was really fun for me and it'll really help with my kicks!
love your videos! I stretch myself almost everyday and I would love to see some back stretching tips :)
I play the piano for the academy of a ballet company in Salt Lake City. I finish playing at about 7 on Friday nights and after that all the studios empty out. For the last couple of weeks I have been using the empty space to put myself through your ballet classes and stretch routines. it's been so awesome for my personal training and a great way to start my weekend. Thank you Katie!
this is the best stretching routine i've ever done! doing the splits felt so good and easy, after stretching the hips so much. thank you! looking forward to checking out your other stretching videos!
I love that you don't only limit to make a list of stretches one right after the other (as I have seen in many tutorials), but also you care about explaining each one of them, their process, and giving advices and recommendations about what to do and what not to do, how to do it and how not to do it, to help improve and prevent injuries, which, (since I left dance school some time ago to try a professional one this year), is something I really look forward in all my stretchings sessions by myself. Since the body is the dancers' too, it's something that should always be taken care of and loved : ). Big thank you
I really like you videos! I'm not really a dancer, I'm just a Colorguard member trying to become a better dancer. I find your videos extremely helpful for the limited dance that I do need to for shows! Thank you!
same here! my coach always says I look too stiff cause I'm not very flexible
this video has helped a lot with my flexability thanks a lot , your amazing at what you do
I really think it can turn up your mood. Especially for rainy days. Thanks. ;)
I've never been flexible, but decided to work on it. After doing these stretches for the past two weeks, I have now, for the first time, been able to touch my toes! Thanks!
you ve helped me soooo much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thank you !your videos ve helped me recovering my injury !
i never noticed how unflexible my outer hips were

Since I do your workouts I feel better with myself and my body and I'm actually improving my flexibility and dance skills. You're great!! Greetings from Spain.
Wouw this really works💕
Thank you so much! I didn’t realize how much I needed that toe stretch. There was so much cracking. Thank you lots!
Thank you! I would love to see your pre-class warm-up routine too, please.
I know this is an older video, but your makeup in this on is, dare I say, *on point(e)*
♥️❤️💓💗💖💞
Brilliant! just what I was looking for thank you I've also started doing your barre workouts too. I am really enjoying the 12 week challenge. I have been aiming to get my flexibility back again at age 40! I have to say there should be no reason as too why I cannot achieve this goal xxx
All of them are super easy
Where did you learn this amazing 😍 class name please
My dance teachers been on my back to get my left leg split (my bad one) so me and my sis stretched our splits before doing this. Then when we did this our splits where 10 times lower!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Ilysm. So excited for you class tonight! Ur my inspiration
Ella Grace You are so welcome!!!!!! So so glad! And thank you!
Love this routine! Not sure what it is but your videos get me so motivated. Already seeing improvements! Thankyou so much!! You are an inspiration!
I'm loving this channel! I've done this stretch sequence several times and really enjoy it. One problem I have is my feet... I don't really feel the foot stretch at all after the first time I did it. Do you have any tips for me and my wee little toes? :)
Can you tell us some tips to stretch our back please ?
Best video ever!!!
i mean, ive been watching and doing a few or your videos per day and i can tell u that u are amazing!
thanks for putting so much effort on those videos!!!
Hi katie, Thank you so much for this routine! I'm on summer break and have not yet started my summer program and have been trying to stay flexible over break. I'm quite tight in certain areas and this is the first routine where it has really felt like it stretches me without causing pain or feeling like it went too far afterwards! Thank you so much
You're such an informative TH-cam channel! I always remember your tips while I'm in class and they've helped me so much ❤️
Oh my god this is amazing for actually the past I don’t know how many years I’ve been like an inch off the ground for all of my splits and it’s because I never stretched my hip flexors. Thanks so much for the video!
For the record: I love you! Your classes help me so much, thank you!!!
Thank you so much Kathryn! You are sooooooooo helpful! I do this stretching routine everyday! You are awesome and are such a great help~~
Love this! I used to dance as well and then discovered yoga. Those two are so similar in many ways :)
I like you! keep it up!
Could you do a video on just how to increase your hip and back flexibility. I have real problems with my back flexibility I love your channelThank you☺️ X
ريحتني كتير
Thank you! Very good routine :) I like how you emphasise the right positions and the feeling one should have while doing the exercise. I find your instructions really easy to understand and I feel I progress better following them. So, once again, thank you!
I know this video is old and im a dancer myself but i'm having trouble keeping my leg straight on most of the stretches thank you
Nope, now my legs are just limber jello, lol! Thanks for the leg workout!
I did this routine after doing a fitness routine from another channel. Awesome combo :)
Hey Kathryn! I am 13 and have been taking ballet for 9-10 years. I have yet to get my splits and almost all the girls in my level already do. I feel very insecure when asked to do splits. One of my new years resolutions is to gain flexibility and get my splits. If you have any stretches or can do a video on this topic that would be great. In the mean time I will try to imply some of the tips in your video about confidence in ballet class.
Love this routine! Thanks so much for sharing, Kathryn!!
I just found this TH-cam channel ! I love it ! You are amazing !
I love doing this routine after I hit the gym while I drink my protein shake. I have such a hard time opening up my hips.
Hello. Can You do a Vido about how to get the middle splits. Please
Dear Katie, I follow your channel from the very beginning and couldn't click faster on the video as soon as I get a notification you posted something :) I have been doing this routine for a while now and I can really see some improvement. However, I have a suggestion. I think that a follow along (longer) stretching video could be very useful for us who need some sort of motivation and a stretching buddy. I hope you will consider this. Hugs and kisses from Croatia
Thank you so much! This was so helpful. Do you have any tips for a flat or bearish flat penche? I’m flat in my splits but can’t get a flat pence and I need to be able to do one for my exam in September. If you can provide any tips I’ll be extremely grateful, thank you so much
so glad I found your channel!
Thank u so much for this vid. it really helped me as a dancer. I got lots of posetive feedback from my teaccher
me again....didn't mean to be cheeky.
Love this video, you're so great,
thanks very much
thanks a lot for this video, I used to extremely stretch and I got injured so thanks again
i really adore your tips. do you have one regarding breathing? how and when inhale/exhale when making moves
Oh my goodness! The. Splits! I hope I can get this good, at the moment I can't even touch my toes! 🙈 xx
I like to hear music while I do this and hold it while I lose myself a bit in the music and then switch.
I'm an absolute beginner in ballet......I have no flexibility whatsoever, so I find it hard to do these exercises....any suggestions on how I can improve my flexibility (any exercises?) for ballet?
Thanks, this evening I'll try this routine after class! Can I ask you what lipstick are you wearing? It looks amazing on you!
Your account is so helpful, I don't take ballet, but a lot of the tips still help for jazz! And we also have the same name, which is really cool, nobody I know spells it with a Y!
Really needed this today. thanks girl
Thank u very much
Love your videos! You seem so nice and genuine. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
this works!! my stretch got so much better in just first try!! I'll keep doing it! Thanks a lot! You said don't try this until I am warmed up. But could I do this stretching routine after warming up before ballet class?
Thank you so much for doing this, and all of your videos! I'm trying to regain (or surpass? lol!) the flefability I had when I was training in ballet years ago, and this looks perfect! Again, many thanks!
Bless you for this!
Your channel is amazing. I love it.
When my first flexibility exercise I was crying loudly cuz it's really hurts hahhah
Thank you!
Amazing!! thankyou!
Try watching Kathryn's video on penchés. I think that will help you!
How old are you Kathryn and how long have you been dancing? Sorry, I'm new to this channel.
Thank you! It helped a lot... You're seriously the best! :)
Thanks is much for this it was so helpful! I remember requesting this video;)
You are such a good teacher, where are the online classes?
check the description:)
That is brilliant!
What do you use for the flooring in your dance studio? I love your channel!
hey kathryn, i just found out about your channel and i have been following you because i have a curved spine and limited flexibility although my twelve years of classical ballet. It's very difficult for me to do tendus in fifth position because my thighs are not skinny and my calf is very muscled. Do you have any exercise to help? because when i try to seal in fifth position when doing a tendu or jete i feel doing it wrong.
+Maria Luiza Campos I know exactly what you are talking about! I have a double curve in my spine. The top is 17 degrees and the bottom it 37. I find getting my splits and holding that flexibility on my left side very hard. At one point I even gave up on dancing and tossed all my stuff out! Now I really miss ballet and want to get back into the studio! I have yet to find something to help other than stretching everyday.
Hi Katie, I love your videos and really enjoy following them along. Do you have any advice on improving really tight hamstrings. I'm really frustrated with mine and can't get them past halfway. This is really frustrating as I'm trying to work towards the splits. Are there any special tricks you have for this, or would you be able to do a video on this please?
Warm up and stretch them? Don't stretch passed around 80% of what you can do. I find doing active stretches more beneficial (i.e. ones where you are actively engaging your muscles during the stretch), and dynamic stretching.
If you have comparatively a lot more range of motion in your quads, it might be worth going to see a physio/chiropractor to check that your pelvis isn't going out of alignment. They should give you exercises/stretches for that -- including stretches for your hamstrings in all likelihood.
Do you have any good tips to get a softer back?
Thanks for the amazing stretches! I have a question, when I stretch with my legs straight and feet flexed, my calves are really tight, sore, tingly and super uncomfortable. Do you have any tips for loosening calve muscles? I often feel it causes me to grip them when I pointe my foot :(
Please can you do the lilac fairy makeup from the sleeping beauty ❤
You're amazing and I love you!!
