Dancing Dewdrop Variation | Nutcracker in the Studio | Kathryn Morgan

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ย. 2020
- This is the Dewdrop variation from George Balanchine's The Nutcracker. This is one of my favorite roles in the ballet. It's a joy to dance the waltz of the flowers, and you often feel like your flying (even though there are fouettés!) Enjoy this little bit of Nutcracker in the studio! Filmed 11/1/20.
Leotard: "Sakura" by Cloud and Victory: www.cloudandvictory.com/produ...
Skirt: Moore Skirts "Short", "Narrow Waist Band", in "Plum": www.etsy.com/shop/MooreSkirts

Your dancing is so beautiful, but what truly fascinates me is your arms and hands ! They are always so light, willowy and expressive, yet so beautifully and perfectly placed. They are that special magic that gives your performance such an effortless look.
It never fails to enchant me and inspire me. I'm gonna have to work so hard to manage even a tiniest fraction of that airiness ! And as we are back on lockdown here in France, once again my dance studio is closed and I'll have to work at home...
But thank you for this beautiful moment and for being such an inspiration.
Those hands are the best I have ever seen, you're literally like you're moving through water! 💙
Aww thank you!
Really? If my ballet teacher were still alive (r.i.p.) she'd say her arms look like dead tree limbs... I think her legs look so much better! Her feet are pointed so beautifully! All that aside, though, it was a lovely dance.
@@NightWink129 why ya gotta be so rude
@@phoenixkh93 Don't you know I'm human, too? ...Lol, I had to do that.
Did you only read the first two sentences? I complemented her feet. I'm being blunt. Dancers need that in order to improve. It is how one takes another person's words to move forward that counts (whether good, bad, or frank).
@@NightWink129 true, but like first of all she was a soloist in the New York Ballet and then worked at the Miami city Ballet so she had some of the best dance instructors in the world training her. And also you can give someone constructive criticism without being objectively rude. And looking through this comment section it seems like most people think her arm movements are stunning so it could be you are misjudging here
Watching this I think back to when you lived in Houston and had said you didn't really dance anymore. I am so grateful you didn't listen to that former self - you are a true ballerina!
Thank you! I’m glad I didn’t listen either ❤️
@@kathryn_morgan ❤
I am a 15 year old dancer and I take your classes almost every day! I love to watch you dance you are beautiful and thank you so much for your work during quarantine :) 💕
Can we just talk about how quiet she is with pointe shoes???
TRUE!
This and the perfect control of her back. Her technique is outstanding, even in comparison with primas.
This is beautiful, Kathryn! Dewdrop is beyond my favourite in Balanchine’s Nutcracker, and you do such an amazing job dancing it!!!
Such clean technique and beautiful arms!!! Everything was so fluid and artistic!!!!!!!
No one dances ballet more beautiful than YOU. Period.
How do you make it look so effortless? 🤩 beyond stunning!!! Xx
Thank you!
I would like to extend thanks to whomever is sharing so many engaging videos. They always make me remember of my own love dance.
@@kathryn_morgan thank you for being such an incredible role model! ⭐️
Your dancing is gorgeous and I love how beautiful your hands are!
I'm reminded so much just how different your version of the Nutcracker is to the one the Royal Ballet perform because I had to remind myself what variation that piece is in the RB version - the Waltz of the Flowers! Love the story and all the different versions of it!
You look breathtaking (that leotard and skirt look really pretty on you 😊)... There's so much joy in your dancing that I couldn't help but smile 😊😊😊
Y’all. MCB missed out. What a legend and queen🥰🤩
Could not take my eyes off her. Dont know anything about ballet but I’m positive
that had to be brilliant.
Had to drop what I was doing immediately to watch this because your dancing is always breathtaking!
thank you for this!
2:09 i LOVE the way you do this part, you look so elegant when you leave
Omg this is gorgeous! Those hands 😍
It’s as if you’ve been dreaming this variation your whole life and effortlessly brought it to fruition. Marvelous!
I'm sitting here online, super stressed over the election, and this was the MOST PERFECT moment of calm that I needed. You gave me chills. This was wonderful and lovely. Thank you.
I love Nutcracker season so much! It's one of my favorite things about this time of year, and year after year, I never get tired of it. Thanks for sharing!
my class learnt the new jersey ballet version of this variation last year. i cant watch this without subconsciously dancing along(even with different choreography)😆
I can’t understand about why the ballet company concern about her body. She is lean, slender, perfect! Can they please look at skills and talent... what a loss for them. Kathryn, I’m your fan. Keep shining... you are a motivation and inspiration for so many of us.
Ah, this was beautiful 😍 Such a breath of fresh air, thank you!
Thank you for making me fall in love with ballet again ❤️
You are so soft and delicate. It's almost like you have wings... Thank you for posting this little gem✨🩰
Nothing like Nutcracker to put us in a lively winter mood❄️
Your control and port de bras is, as always, amazing. Thanks for the fun content! Hope you're happy, healthy, and doing well!
What a joy! Thank you, Katie! xxxxxxxxxxxx
This is what dancing is all about. Beauty and joy (and amazing technique makes it even better!!). Thank you for being you. If it wasn’t for your videos, I’d have never made it back into the studios for class. You are a real gift.
Magnificent!! I loved watching this.
That gave me chills.. OUTSTANDING!!!
What a beautiful Dewdrop! You have this energy and power behind it but also somehow you manage to also make it elegant, playful, and sweet with your movements. You basically captured everything there is to Dewdrop in your performance, absolutely amazing and enjoyable to watch ♥️🩰
You dance with so much soul and passion. A true artist! xx
Everything about this is so beautiful!!I love watching rehearsal videos, you can really see how much it takes to make things look effortless.
I just love the sound of the pointe shoes ❤️
I love just watching you dance, you seem so comfortable and confident when you do.
Wow! Your dancing always amazes me! Ly! Keep up the good work!💙
I'm in awe of the footwork in this video!
Gorgeous!!!!! You are an inspiration to all and dance brilliantly!!!! Thank you , Ms Morgan BRAVA
This gave me goosebumps!! My favorite ballerina!
Such a beautiful lightness! 🦋🥀
I watched this twice - and got chills both times! Beautiful dancing!
That was absolutely beautiful Kathryn!! Thank you for giving us a break from all the madness.
Wow, so beautiful-you are totally transmitting the excitement and energy of Nutcracker! Thank you for sharing your art.
That was GORGEOUS. It looked so effortless😍Thank you so so SO much for all that you do!!
I love how relaxed yet expressive your entire upper body is while you're dancing. Just beautiful! Ballet West should snap you up!!!!
So breezy and graceful I can't stop hitting replay!!!
OMG she is an amazing dancer!!!
I love seeing you dance!
the CONTROOOOOL gosh incredible :)
I can’t understand why Miami would ever call her fat She’s fitter than 90% of women everywhere. She has a beautiful physique and lines, Miami should be investigated for abuse.
Lol, all professional dancers are meant to be more fit than most average people, js.
It's just because the ballet community chooses to cling to some particular body standards of a very thin flimsy and delicate woman. Unfortunately you see that everywhere and not everybody has the genes to reach that. This is very anachronistic and ballet is the opposite of body positive.
In my opinion she's fit for a ballerina. She might have a bit wider and shorter torso but that's just her body structure, she's skinny enough.
@Cancer Survivor I've never done ballet (except when very little), but I've seen it from afar, binge-watched ballets and ballet classes/schools, etc. And I've noticed that one body type is overrepresented. Is it possible the incredible talents you listed are exceptions that prove the rule? That these people (and their bodies) are publicized so much because they conveniently mask still-present problems? Also, exactly how good did they need to be for companies to overlook their "nonstereotypical" bodies (is this perhaps why all the exceptions are SO "flawless?"- because they need to be)? I agree that the ballet world has changed from what it was, but how, and how much? Is it juuust enough to reap the social benefits of being labeled "diverse?" I dunno.
Has the ideal ballet body, instead of expanding, just shifted shapes? From how I've heard ballet dancers talk about ballet, their bodies are their instrument so it makes sense that certain types would go in/out of vogue. Honestly I don't know if a discipline as intense as ballet can really exist without also imposing body standards on its practitioners (I'm not even talking about weight - just stuff like flexible/strong ankles, long neck, high instep, etc).
Personally as a teenager I had the perfect ballerina body, I was asked to join a world famous School.... I could have been a professional but my parents wanted me to get a more traditional education. As a revenge I managed to stay forever in ballet but just as a student and ... now... I am GLAD! I had to be on meds for my total lack of appetite and gained so much weight! My body will NEVER be superthin again. Did it affect my technique? Yes a bit! Can you dance if you r a tall size 6 and full D cup? Yes of course! Had I been a pro though they would have fired me. I saw many girls who were not short, a slender size 6, big boobs, with beautiful lines, charismatic and with a way better technique than many other skinny ones, they looked perfect in a unitard or tutu! So... who cares about the size if you are talented and a partner can lift you??? 🤔
You look amazing Katie. I’ve followed your journey for many years , God bless you
Wow your jumps are so light and delicate but high!
This was breathtaking!!! I actually started to get goosebumps towards the end. Never stop dancing, you're amazing
Absolutely loooooved this! And always love your channel! You’re an inspiration to so many people. I’m blessed that you’re not hesitant to speak up on real issues. I always encourage my students to watch your videos! Keep doing you! ❤️
Amazing and joyfull :-) Thank you for posting !
So much talent. Beautiful choreography. Loved watching you dance!
Amazing!❤❤❤
Beautiful! And so lyrical!!
That was awesome! Thank you.
Squeeeee!!! So so good! 😍 The quietness and calmness of your upper body no matter how crazy the footwork is, it always amazes me!!
Wow Kathryn!! You are beyond amazing 💕
Thanks for posting! That is such a busy, tricky variation!
Like I KNOW how difficult this is and yet you make it look so effortless
💙💙💙 stunning! So cool to see it close up.
Girl!!!! Wow! I hear yah!!!🥰🥰🥰
Really nice...dancing like an angel....
You are absolutely amazing!!
Such a joy to watch you dance! Xx
Thank you so much for dancing for us. It was lovely, elegant, and inspirational. Please do more.
Absolutely beautiful performance 👍♥️
The words that come to mind are light and springy! And the accentuation of the music with the hands makes me melt
It’s so cool to see the different variations of dew drop. I’m actually dancing the role of dew drop this year and my version is so different but I loved watching this💗
Stunning! 😍
queen!! So so so clean. You inspire me to continue dancing
So~~~~beautiful dance!!!
Thanks for your perfomance and really enjoyed it. . .
OH!!! WOW!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!! You have me so emotional. Oh! I had no idea how I needed this! Especially on this day that has brought most of us to your knees with anxiety and angst. Kathryn, you are such a princess of beauty and grace. I didn't blink my eyes or breath until the last note from the orchestra was played and your elegant curtsy executed! I had to watch it again!
Incredible 🤩
Amazing!!
Beautiful!!!
You are such an amazing dancer, I can watch you dance all day long💗🎉
Wowowowowowow
What a blessing it is to see you dance 🥰🥰
Absolutely stunning.
I really like it far much more the adult's dancing. Most dancers stop dancing about your age, however, it is really beautiful the expression of the feeling through the movement. Much more adorable when you put your personality on dancing.
Beautiful 💛
this is so beautiful!!! really needed this today 😊💖💕💖
Katie, I showed this video to my beginning pointe students last night (they all started on pointe just four months ago).
They were so inspired by and in awe of you!
I had them specifically watch your upper body and arms, as using the upper body to express the movements is something I am currently working on pulling out of them.
I even taught them a tiny section of the dance for fun and they LOVED it!
WOW! Amazing! And you couldn’t wink at the conductor to get him to slow it down a wee bit-and you still knocked it out of the park! So delicate, yet so strong.
So beautiful! I can’t really dance but I love your videos. Ballet has to be one of the prettiest things on earth
Stunning as always, Katie!
You made this look so easy! Well done!
This is so beautiful and what good timing because I am dancing Dewdrop in my studio's Nutcracker this year (along with Clara in the other two shows!)! Of course it isn't so so challenging like the Balanchine choreography because I'm only 14, so I can be grateful for that!
Absolutely majestic! You arms and hands are just exquisite! Perfection!
Aww you made me teary eyed! The first year since I was five that I won't get to see the tree grow live at Lincoln Center (and I'm 40, lol). Thank you so much for virtually getting us in the spirit of Nutcracker season with your beautiful Dewdrop!
Lovely!
This is beautiful!❤️
It boggles my mind that anyone could give this a thumbs down. It was lovely and strong!
Omg those hands!! Your dancing is so beautiful :)
Gorgeous! Puts me in the holiday mood :)
Really amazing.
amazing!
