I am soloist with Miami City Ballet a former soloist with the New York City Ballet. When I was a young student, I was always looking for insights into the ballet world and how to improve my dancing as well as beauty and lifestyle tips. Now that I am a professional, it is my turn to share.
On my channel I make ballet, beauty, and lifestyle videos for everyone of all ages. My goal is help dancers improve and achieve their dreams as well as open up the ballet world to non dancers. 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!

Did anyone else watch this video and notice ALL of the shoes in her closet?😍
Libby Bowen that was so me there's like 100 pairs
WHOA are those pointe shoes??
@@madelineb5184 Yup! professionals go thru them so fast, so its not surprising that she stocked up on the kind she likes lol
I always find it so interesting how visualization and mental tricks can help so much with physical issues!
She makes it look so effortless...
María Emilia Catalina Zuberbuhler That's the thing with ballet. It's god danm hard, only it needs to look like it's a piece of cake.
Focussing on the supporting hip is a very helpful tip! I tried it out immediately and it worked! Thank you very much :) However I have got problems with my développé devant, it doesn't get higher and I always use the big muscle on my l active leg.. :/
Strengthen the supporting hip. What a concept! I have never heard that! No wonder my hips are always so sore. Thanks for this important tip.
01:08 I feel attacked. I can do grand battements just fine but I can't hold the blooming developpe
same
caz practice them at the barre a lot it will help
Could you please do a video concerning alignment and using your muscles correctly? This would really help me a lot. Thanks! BTW, love your videos, they are great!!
Thanks SO MUCH!! You helped me in 5 minutes more than a few other teachers in years. You are fab, Kathryn, I really appreciate your videos xx
I find your teaching fascinating. I am not a dancer but a choral soprano and my wonderful voice coach taught me just as you do: to use visual mental cues to free up the voice/body and break through barriers. The power of the mind is amazing.
You might actually be my hero!! I am so happy i found your channel! You have helped me so much to get my strength back after a year of not being able to dance! Thank you so so so much for these videos💕💕💕
I watch like thirty minute videos how to get higher developpes but yours helped the most
THANK YOU! I have been struggling with this my whole life.
Hi Kathryn, just wanted to say a big thank you! loving your videos! Especially your tips on technique, I am an adult returning to ballet after having a nearly 10 year break. Your videos are so very helpful 😊
Thank you SO much. This was so quick and simple, but it is such good advice!
Amazing video! So helpful, keep up the brilliant work x
I paused the video to get up and try concentrating on the supporting hip instead of the leg I literally freaked out! The difference is incredible! Thank you so much for all your tips, Kathryn:)
Thank you so much for your videos kathryn, what I have learned so far is invaluable and so specific to the issues I am facing in Ballet. These are not tips I am getting from dance class either, much appreciated. Best wishes on you recovery and return to professional dance. xo
OMG! Thank you so much! Your advice about focusing on the supporting leg instead of the working leg helped me so much! Thank you!
Thank you so so so so much for this video!! The focusing on supporting leg tip has CHANGED MY LIFE!!!! :D
Thank you so much!!! I have been looking for this!
Could you please make a video for back flexibility? Like exercises and stuff! Thx XOXOXO
This was so helpful. Thank you! For the first time in some 25 years I was able to get my leg over 90 degrees in a developpe. If only someone had taught me this when I was 10, I may not have gotten injured either. Really, can't thank you enough! :)
Helpful as always! I tried it right away and it worked like magic!Thanks Kathryn!
Thank you so much! This is so helpful 😊😊
Thank you for all your helpful videos! It has helped me still improve in dance and get some dance workouts done despite it being my exam year (so I've stopped dancing for the time being:( ) so thank you so much you're like my personal dance teacher already, I feel like I've learnt so much from you!
Also congrats on getting back on the stage you really deserve it!^^
wow! Thank you for these wonderful tips! :) I'll keep them in mind whenever I practice my developpes!
This is so helpful! I never realized I was gripping my hips, but I was doing it so much, even though the rest of my form was perfectly fine. Thanks so much for posting this video!
wow this video is AMAZING! so informative. As a beginner, I always focus on the other leg as opposed to the supporting leg!
Thank you so much. Just found this and already had some revelations!
This helped me SO MUCH! Thank you!
I would love a video about improving jumps, or maybe series on different jumps with tipps - your channel is so helpful! Thanks so much ♥
Thank you! Very clear directions.
Oh, this is so useful! Thank you, Katie! I really needed this! My teacher always tells me about the supporting leg, but now I only understand the importance of the HIP!
This is a great vid really helped! I'm totally subscribing!
Always! thank you so much for your kind shairng! -big fan from Korea
Thank you so much! This really does help!
This has helped so much, thanks!
Helped a lot. Thank you!!
Thanks for the tips!
Great video Katie!😊💕
This is a wonderful video thank you so much
Wow that tip really helped. Thank you
This video is sooooo helpful! my leg has got higher already :)
Thank you! This helped my developpes so much.
Great tips that work. Thank you
I LOVE YOU KATHRYN MORGAN! THANK YOU FOR LIVING
I love you Kathryn. Your videos are great
Your videos are a huge inspiration for me! I wanted to become a professional ballerina, but my turnout is small and I don't think I can stretch much further! Also I lack a lot of balance, so I was wondering if you had a video on that, or of you could do one.
Even though I'm not going to be a ballerina, I still want to be a dancer so these videos help me a lot!
Go to physioterapist (english is not my languaje), and take Rx to know if your skeleton can rotate. Perhaps you're compensating with back and that's why you don't see improvement. Balance can be developed with workout and time.
any tips for holding your turnout in the develope?
I need some too ! :(
Me too
Samantha Corcoran h
Anything that I know is start the turn out from the beginning!
I wonder if you could do something about jumps? Like Brisé, Entrechats etc... all things where I have to cross my legs. I always have trouble with it, I feel like I am not fast enough to close my legs that it look like this fast crossing thing. I also like to get some advice to not lose the energy while jumping so that after 32 jumps I don't stick on the ground :/ thank you so much for your helpful videos! ♥ :)
Seconding this. I was just about to ask the same thing.
noopy99 So much yes.
Amethyst Leigh Perfect idea, need that too!
Yannie Lee thanks for the tip
Ah I hate brisé! My knee bones bump together. Like, the side of my knee. The rest are ez. Also I hate brisè because I am a jumper. I jump very high. But in brisé it's so hard to just skim the ground.
thank you this is sooo helpful
I just started watching your videos and OMG your such a great teacher, your advices are so good! thak you so much for sharing them, can you do a technique video about leaps?
your videos are great!! I really love it.. I make a big improve for myself. I'm pretty bad at ballet even though in the past I often got distinction in my ballet exams.After these 3 years, I always got merid.. and that made me lost my motivation in ballet. I thought that maybe ballet wasn't my thing..and I couldn't fit in cause I wasn't meant to be a real dancer.. But after watching some of your videos, I got my motivation back. I want to improve myself for getting better and better.
Beautiful leg extensions!
Thank you for this video! I'm 13 and only just started ballet in January so I've been trying to catch up with the other girls xxx
Came here to learn an exercise to help me improve my karate kicks. Learned a whole lot about general body awareness as bonus. Very good tyvm
Thank you very very much for all of your videos! They are very useful for me! I want to be a professional dancer. Now I'm a Trainee!
Love your videos! Can you do a video on how to have artistic arms/upper body? keep up the great work
That looks like a wardrobe of pointe shoes. Heaven!
the tips in this video really helped increase the height of my developes to the side. Thank you :)
and woaaah you're right the arms help sooo much
Thanks that really helped alot😉
Can you do a vid about improving balance? Pleasee~
I noticed that I grip the tops of my thighs a lot when I lift my legs, I tried focusing on the supporting hip and it really helps! The problem is that now I have really bulky thighs and I was hoping you could suggest some ways that I could get rid of some of the bulk, and strengthen the parts of my legs that I should be using instead to have long lean muscles.
Thank so much!
same issue with me, I have lots of bulky thigh muscles (that, yes, they are strong) but when I stretch the rest of the leg to do the complete developpe, the leg goes down.
Hey i know this is a little late but i am the same way. When i went into a higher level ballet class i tried so hard and ended up using my quads and now i have bulky thighs. There is a video by claudia dean coaching that gives excercises to strengthen the correct muslces. They work great so check it out if you want
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH
WOW! This is so helpful I'm actually in tears :P
Can you do a variation tips video? I'm getting my first one en pointe and I really want to get it great
Lovely video, btw
Sometimes I wish you'd wear tights or at least lighter colored leggings, because it makes it easier for us to see/learn the form you're trying to show us. ;(
this was so helpful! thank you! could you please do video on improving ponche, I'm struggling to get to full 180. thank you so much
Any exercises, tips, to improve balance?
I have a thing when doing it out a la seconde that my hip joint will click just before I can fully straighten the leg in developé before lowering it to the ground and it will also click around 45 degrees as I'm lowering it to the floor. It's not painful but it does make it more difficult to do them as I have to get the click out.
meowool sameee omg
The more strength you build in your muscles, the less it will click.
good to know! :)
meowool same
meowool saame
Hi Kathryn, thank you for all your wonderful videos. I just wanna ask what do you mean by focusing on the standing leg? which muscles of the standing leg should I focus my attention on? thank you, hugs
I would love a video on petit allegro! I can do all the steps individually, but when they're in a sequence or they're extra quick I get really sloppy.
Hallo!
I have been watching your videos the last week - and i learnd so much. I dnced until I was 18 and then stipped. i am now 26 and hope to start again, but do not find many videos with tips for dancers "starting over". I know you are very busy...but if you could find some time and maby do a video for dancers who need to be encouraged to start again it would be amazing. I find that I become discouraged, because all of a sudden, ballet ( even basic plies) are sooo hard!
But thanx again for the amazing videos you have out there-will watch every one!
try the easy ballet barre routine video. I've had m.e. 11 years and recently decided to take up ballet exercise, otherwise I would probably be in a wheelchair at some point due to muscle weakness. it's been an enormous help and anyone starting or restarting...this is the place. the music is fun and its organised very well. I hope you try it!
Do you have a video on how to improve turn out?
Would love to see a video of tips for strengthening weak knees or rather the muscles that support the knees.
Kathryn Morgan This was so helpful thanks!! I would love it if you could do a video for grand battements! I struggle with maintaining my height without compromising/getting off my supporting leg, even though I can hold my leg in my hand at that same height with my supporting leg strong. Any help or tips would be awesome!! :)
Could you please do a how to improve grand rond de jambes en l'air videos? Like tips and things! thxxx
Yes!
Omg yes please
+Kathryn Morgan Thank you
Please do a video on petite allegro
Omg thank you.
Can you give tips on how to stop arches from rolling in?? Mine do and I hate it so much
Great help as always! I would love a Video about that jumps on pointe like in The Giselle of Dulcinea variation (sry I don't know The Name :D) or about Italian Fouettes
Putting my arms in fifth helped so much
Wow, mind blown! Now I realize why it was difficult to lift my leg and can change the focus. What does it mean ‘on the table’? As in lying on your stomach and lifting away from gravity?
Thank you for your great advice. I don't feel so suported when we do leg extentions in the front and our arms are extended out vs to side or up but we still manage. Our we doing front leg extensions with the arms extended in front right? #KathrynMorgan
Hi Kathryn! I was wondering if I could use your picture on the cover of my folder for a mini movie that I'm making. I will be using it for a state competition and will show it to a judge. I found a picture of you and thought it would be perfect for the cover. Thanks!

Would you be able to do a video on balance? Whenever I practice my turns I have the technique down but I forget about my balance and it throws me off.
Do you have anhtips on widing stradle? If you do could uou make a video? Thank you so much
She has a lot of pointe shoes in her closet.
i have stilettos in mine, and yes I am a ballet dancer too. LOL!
Haley A I know! I’m so jealous!
For our spring show at my studio, we're doing coppelia. I'm in waltz of the hours and my teacher is making us do this weird pirouette from a kneel ( right knee back to do a right outside turn) up onto pointe! I sprained my left ankle and recently just finished physical therapy. I know it's a weird request, but any tips? Today I just started your ankle strengthening excerises, I hope they will help! I also tend to "plop" off of pointe, do recommend anything for that? Sorry this is long, but thank you for making your videos!!!
a video about how to use the right muscles while lifting legs, not gripping the quads would be great
amazing u r, thk u
can you please do a video on how to do brisés
Hi can you please do like a tutorial doing the split but at the same time turning around the split stand 🙏🏼
Please do a floor barre
Thank you for this video. I do not have open hips and my hips are not strong so when I develope to second my hip flexor (I think) really grips and feels like it’s pinching, my leg turns in, and my body loses alignment 😢 would just regular stretching and strengthening of the turn out muscles and hip flexor help this?
Hi Katie! I have heard almost every teacher tell me to use my hamstrings, inner thighs, and glutes to lift my leg up but I still can't seem to engage those muscles, only my quads! Sometimes this overuse of my quandary cause a lot of pinching in my hip and hip flexors! How do I isolate and the engage those back and below muscles for extensions?!?!? thanks!!!
could you please do a hip workout video?thxxx!!
When you do a developpe to the side should you be slightly tilted to the side or not?
