I am getting back into dancing after taking a hiatus during the pandemic. Following along to your barres has been wonderful! You are the best ballet teacher on TH-cam. I love your themed barres, especially Disney and Swan Lake. I would LOVE to see a Nutcracker themed barre/center!
I think you may be reading my mind! Just one week before you posted this video, I was thinking about asking you to do a themed ballet class with the music from Coppelia and here it is!! Love it - Thanks!!
Kathryn, thank you! I'm enjoing your classes so much! Your method and tips are so helpfull and encouriging. You make it seem a bit less intimitating (: You are definatly my favorite teacher on you tube! 💕
Thank you for this fantastic class dear Kathryn! It's suuch good pointe conditioning for pre-pro dancers like myself and I lover how it felt like a live / in-person class- I felt your company and encouragement throughout the class which is so perfect as I train on my own. Thank youuu!🙏🏼🤩👏
Thank you so much for this great class Kathy! One question on the double feet go up to cou de pied on pointe and passe on pointe, I understand that I need to use both feet to sprint up. But in practice I feel that I'm only using the pointe side leg, not so much the other foot. Could you some day share tips on how to find the right way to use both feet to sprint up? Thank you in advance!
I know this is a little bit late, but this has helped me so much! I just started being allowed to do pointe without a instructor near by, so this is perfect timing. Thank you Katie!!!!! Love the pod!🩰❤️
Thank you! Truth be told - I have NO idea what this skirt is. It was given to me by a friend and there is no tag. It's not a "Moore Skirt" like I usually wear. So I have no clue! The leotard is Eleve Dancewear
Do you have any tips for fifth position and tendus for people who have less than stellar turnout? I find it so hard to really cross my fifth because my legs have to be so far apart for my feet to go heel-to-toe and that makes it hard to keep my balance once my working foot leaves the ground. Thank you so much for all your great classes. I've been focussing on the advanced barre w/o barre and your Wicked class and I really enjoy them.
As hard as it is, start using your natural turnout. Don't force it, your'e just jamming the joints. Work in your best 5th. As you get stronger, your 5th will improve because you will have the strength to hold it! I started doing that and stopped jamming my fifth, and my natural turnout improved because I was using the right muscles! Hope that helps!
Would this class be okay to use for coming back to pointe? I was off due to pregnancy but got the okay from my ballet teacher once I got back to class.
im very new to pointe and 20 minutes in im deciding ive hit my limit for this morning and im not gonna force myself. after work tn ill do some exercises but im still getting used to the pain. idk how painful it's supposed to be tbh but cuz is my first pair. it doesnt feel like wrong but i think im sinking a little. sucks i have such wide feet in the front. i feel like i want a slightly more tapered shoe but im no fitter
Wait, are my feet supposed to cramp in the beginning of barre? I thought I just didn't have enough strength yet or the wrong shoes. Once I get to tendús, they stop cramping so much.
I sent this to a couple of our students and told them to do it every morning after breakfast… lol… I shared it with Stacea and her firsts comment was “I love that Leotard”… thats my wife… 😊
I'm recovering from a small but painful injury and this is the best class to come back on pointe safely! Thank you so much Katie!
Of course! And yes- take your time! This class can help ❤️
im trying to build my strength up after having ankle surgury
Same hereeee, getting the strenght backkk
Ahh this was so wholesome. I didn´t do any pointe class for about 2,5 years. Today I tried again and it was amazing. Thank you Kathryn
28:02 its magic! When she does that the lights get on! So cool.. is she aware of this... magicalllll :))

Aww thank you so much! Love that idea! I will work on it for next Christmas!
The intro is Stunning! And I love these themed classes so much!
Thank you so much!
I love how the lights popped on in the studio behind you when you threw your arms up in the air on the high note at the end of the track!
Thanks!
This was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for these free classes. Hope, you upload more, can't wait!
Thank you for more of your lovely pointe classes! 🎉
I think you may be reading my mind! Just one week before you posted this video, I was thinking about asking you to do a themed ballet class with the music from Coppelia and here it is!! Love it - Thanks!!
I am so excited to do this one! I was so happy to see another pointe class💕🩰
As a pointe begginer I love it! Perfect training
I'm so glad you posted this! I need to practice pointe at home so much. I can only do about half of it now, but hopefully will get stronger!
Gorgeous thank you for sharing, wish I could be there, have fun!
I needed something like this after taking a few years long pause. This is a good way for me to get back on pointe.. thank you so much
Hello Kathryn! I’m very pleased to dance along with your graceful ballet videos! You got me deeply involved with practicing ballet very diligently.
This is perfect! I have a day off tomorrow due to snow and it looks like I've just found something to do! 💜
Yay! It's "simple" but rough :) So I'm hoping you enjoy it!

I broke in my new shoes with this class. Forced myself to do everything super slow with you, it sucks but it works. Great class, thank you!
My studio is doing Coppelia in the spring so I am super excited to take this!
Yay! Have the best time! It’s such a great ballet ❤️

this was hard and amazing, thank you so much
Katie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😄 Always love her pointe videos.😍
Hello!!! Congratulations for the wonderful classes!!!Can this class also be done with flats?Thank y so much!!♥️♥️
Great. Thank you so much
Can I do this on flat? I’m not strong enough yet for Pointe a whole class. I can “only “ do the barre on two feet 😂❤, but always love your classes!
Yes absolutely!
I'm glad you asked that, because I was wondering the same thing. :)
How do I build the ankle strength ? I do the theraband and relevés every other day. What an I missing? 🩰🩰Love this class though even on flat!
“Smile! Don’t hate life.”

Thank you for the videos 🥰😇
is it more difficult of during of wearing correctly fitted shoes? at least I lack of excruciating pain now. progressed.
Love it
My toes hurt so much but i am so happy I finished it.❤
Loved the class and I love your skirt! Can you share a link to what you’re wearing?
Thank you! Truth be told - I have NO idea what this skirt is. It was given to me by a friend and there is no tag. It's not a "Moore Skirt" like I usually wear. So I have no clue!

Loved this class, thank you so much! (But the room made me miss our intensive workshop from two weekends ago 😥) 🙂
I miss it, too!
How do you only bend the back leg at about 4:30? My front legs bends automatically 😢😢😢Any ideas?

You look very pretty, I'm sure my daughter will love this! I am getting pregnancy vibes from you, when will we see a little? :)
Thank you! Hope she loves it!
Not pregnant yet :) (I’m just not in my best shape currently 😂). But maybe in the future!
@@kathryn_morgan Oh it had nothing to do with your body, I would never. Your face is glowy
Oh I know!! I’m just saying that… didn’t take it that way! And thank you! ❤️
That s not basic this is for intermédiaire
Thanks!
