This is a quick set of exercises that will help improve leg and calf strength, balance, and stability. If you are struggling with keeping your supporting hip strong in adagio and pirouettes or have weak ankles and calves, this is the workout for you! Be warned though - it's a doozy!

... after a week of doing this video daily, i'm giving it credit for helping me to accomplish my first triple pirouette (on demi)!!! ... it felt so AWESOOOOOME!!! ... look forward to nailing it consistently on both sides. Gracias Katie :)
U did it like once a day? Because I'm having trouble on turns too
@@leehockchong816 they said daily so probably
Great job!! I’m so proud of you! Must feel amazing. I’m out here still trying to do doubles 😭 (i struggle with strength in pirouettes and posture… yeah you could say i just struggle with pirouettes)
And considering this was five years ago i hope your doing even better now :)
@@iloveegnocchi did you get your doubles yet? And same I'm struggling to get my doubles too😢
@@eunisxoxo it depends on the day… i have gotten it a couple times but i’m doing better now! good luck to you
im not a dancer but i figure skate - skaters rely a lot on leg strength too. this work out is wonderful
ivazie i just went to try ice skating on Sunday, AND IT WAS SOOOO HARD! I had to hold on to the barrier the whole time.
lol I skate too and that’s why I’m here, glad I found a fellow figure skater 😂
I also figure skate, this is so helpful!
glad to find a figure skater here!
same, I'm trying to get my sit spins with this
This is just what I needed! I have really unstable ankles, and I am constantly falling out of turns and releve. I know that this will help me:) Thanks!
I hope this helps! xoxo
I am not a ballerina like at all. I'm a normal hip-hop jazz dancer. Idk what I'm doing here at midnight lol. But holy shit this is hard. My legs were screaming literally after four minutes of this.
My respect for ballerinas just went up 50000 notches. Hats off if you're a ballerina. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
as a tap dancer i have so much respect for ballerinas !
You should make a video about protecting your Achilles tendon. Recently I have been having a hard time and I'm sure we all could benefit from some tips. Great video today by the way! :)
yes me too
What’s that?
@@spiceandrice4838 It's what connects the calf to the heel. You can feel it just above your heel on the backside of your foot.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I'm a older dancer trying to build my strength up and your videos are so helpful! It's great to hear from a really experienced dancer who I know I can trust! Thank you!
Taylor H have u done..make or you looks naturallly like this in pic
When she says “don’t hate me” and you know you soon will :’) thanks for a super workout and making it fun!
It's 2020 and I'm here watching your videos to try learn ballet, and I'm in love with your classes, thank you so much.
Just finished doing this. It's a lot harder than it seems! XD
loved this workout! i'm struggling with my shoulder blades a lot even though i do many exercises and think about them a lot during class. i'd like to see a video about "shoulders down!!!"😂
These exercises were brutal! But in a good way! Can't wait to see how my technique, balance, and strength will improve after doing these regularly. Thanks, Katie!
Your amazing ! I was wondering if you could make a video about hip strengthening. I have hip problems so that when I lift my leg my hip pops. Love you!!
I have just discovered your channel. I’m so happy I have found this video. I did ballet as a child from 4years until I was about 15 and had a good solid classical education. I’m now 30 and I have just started again. My flexibility came back pity fast and my technique was still pity good, apparently old habits die hard in a good way! I have been struggling with my strength and stamina, particularly working towards getting back on en point. This video and theses exercises have been so helpful. I’m suddenly making HUGE improvements in this area. Seriously THANK YOU.
A few days ago I did a really good pirouettes, it was so balanced and chill, kinda like I could have gone limp, and I would have stayed up. I am now very inspired to make all my pirouettes feel balances like that.
I saw this and immediately tried it in my workout.
My calves were burning after it and I was sweaty as hell, but I felt like I really did something for my muscles.
Love it, will definitely be doing this a lot.
This is so perfect! I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so I'm hypermobile and have no strength or control in my legs. Thank you so much for this!
@Karah Hutchings Hey! I'm 18 and have EDS and I'm wanting to get into dance. I've been diagnosed for a few years so if you wanna talk about it you can message my Instragram if you want? It's @holly__m678
Hi Kathryn, I'm Zofia from the UK, and my ballet teacher had a chat with me yesterday and she said i have beautiful extension, flexibility and turnout but i need to strengthen up for things like develops in the centre. My plan is to tone up this summer and do workouts like this, and for balance and strength every day this summer because I want to go back with a bang this new year!! Do you have a recommended schedule or exercises like this that would help me as I tend to procrastinate a bit...? P.S., congratulations on getting married! I loved watching all your blogs. :) xxx
I love your dance classes, but also the workouts. Could you do more workouts for dancers? This one ist great! Thanks a lot.
Hey Katie! I have learnt so much from watching your videos! I'm really struggling with fast frappes, glisses, and battement tendus at the barre, while keeping my turn out and still pointing my feet. Would be wonderful to see your insight into getting you legs to move fast! Xxx
this is the 25th time that i have practiced this routine this year, i love it very much and it has helped me with my stability to the point where i can sustain a 120 degree side battement for almost 15 seconds more than i could last year. thank you, kathryn!
LOVING THE LEGGINGS!!!!!!!!!!
(Last ditch attempt to get you to see this comment...Sorry to everyone who's seen it several times!) Hoping you can help me Katie!! The studio I go to now only has 2 classes a week, but I can't afford to go to the other studio near me. I supplement my classes with 2 and 1/2 hours of workouts every morning and give my self class the days of the week that I'm not at the studio. But I know it's not the same without a teacher to give me feedback. Do you have any advice for what else I can be doing? And how can I let them know that I work for more than 3 hours of the week (there's no where to say that on a Summer Audition application form)?
I'm sorry you are in that situation! I think you are approaching this correctly - doing something is better than nothing! So I'm proud of you for doing what you can on your own. Even if it is barre on the days you don't have class, that will make a difference. Could you talk to one of your teachers? Maybe you could explain the situation. They might be willing to work with you privately. Or even push you more in the classes you are currently taking. Are there other schools in your area? Maybe you could supplement classes at a 2nd studio. Many dancers have had to do that, myself included. I think you are on the right track - just keep doing what you can!
The only other school within an hour and a half is the too expensive one, and I take Cecchetti method, so the classes are set. But the other studio does have a once a week Pilates-based class that I could maybe go to. And I will look into the privates. Thank you so much for making all of your workouts and barres accessible!!!!
When I started this video I saw lots of improvement in balance ❤🎉
This routine is AMAZING!!!! My pirouettes and a la seconde turns have improved drastically since following this :)
I 100% recommend!
Hi! I tried this out today and it also seemed to help me a bit. I was wondering, did also help you gain strength in ur legs? (Like tilts, leg holds or anything that has to do with not holding ur leg?:))
Loved this workout! I was wondering if you could do more pilates workouts? I would love that!
I will work on it!
Can u please make a video about how to keep your knees safe while taking class? I have been having a lot of knee issues
I'm a figure skater and I found theses exercices VERY effective, thank you a lot !
I just followed these exercises a couple hours before my ballet class and for the first time ever I was able to do developpes in center adage without almost falling, so thank you so much!
This is just the video I've been looking for!
Love your channel by the way.
Thank you!
first I just want to say that ur utterly amazing and inspire me everyday to dance. Could you possibly do a video on how to strengthen your core?
thx,
Siena
As an older woman who has issues with falling do to breaking every bone from hip to tips of toes. This video has helped me with balance and strengthening my legs. Thanks.
You would not believe how much this has improved my skating in less than a week. WOW!
I actually play ice hockey and have started doing this workout as an addition to my normal lifting and training and it’s has done wonders for my balance and body control. I’ve also had numerous ankle injuries and this had helped me gain back so much strength in my ankles
I just tried this. It was intense!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Can u do a video about hip flexors and how to use the correct muscles to stop overuse as well as stretching properly?
This is perfect! I’ve been having trouble with pirouettes on demi simply because I don’t have good balance. I’ve been relearning how to balance myself due to my feet so this is perfect
Best exercise video I've ever done!
Presses the like button during the ad.
I am so thankful, this has become my preparation for every ballet class during quarantine and it has been amazing, you're the best!
Thank you for this video. You are so kind and generous to share your expertise with everyone.
Hi Kathryn. I've been watching your videos for a good year now and they are all so very helpful. I'm a dance leader at our church worship team and we used this video at our weekly practice on Thursday night and boy, did it burn!!! We are not trained ballet dancers, although a few of us have had ballet classes as a child. We are all in our late 20's, early 30's and I would say when it comes to ballet work, we are all beginners. Can you make more videos that would help strengthen the core? This video was very helpful and we will continue to do it from week to week until it becomes much, much easier.
On another note, my husband has Hashimoto's and thank you so much for all of the videos you have done about this. He and I have both watched them together and taken some of your dietary and other advice and we definitely don't feel alone now. Thank you for that!
Please don't ever stop making videos like this... I have bookmarked so many of them and am going to incorporate as much of them into dance practice and my own routine as I can. Thank you so much!!!!
Great video as usual, Katie! Could you do one on exercises to improve placement. This is my biggest challenge after having stopped dancing for 20 years. I can't go back to the proper placement and balance I used to have.
Thank you for this exercise! I'm going to do this every second day!
Can you please please please do a video about the correct placement of attitude, I have so many in my routines this year and I feel like I'm so out of line with it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You're such a great teacher!
Trying to do these as a theatre kid who’s never taken ballet. I’ve always had such an appreciation for ballerinas but this brings it back into mind. I hope to build up as much strength as I can. Thank you so much for this!!!
Thank you so muuuuuch!!! Love this video Kathryn!!!
Thanks Katie! I'd like a quad and inner thigh and glute workout video if you can add it to the list.
Thanks so much Kathryn. I have really been struggling with stability lately and it has caused me a little stress. But I found your channel and your tutorials are SO helpful. ❤️😘
So NOT a ballerina or ballet student but this video is incredibly helpful! (I workout alot and dance is included) Thank you very much Kathryn!!
thank you for your video as always
That's a great suggestion! Thank you! I will get back to the podcast - I have just had other things taking priority right now. But I will get back to it.
woobean jeon, I agree. I LOVE her podcasts. They're one of my favorite times of the day!!
Anna Fox oh yes. I am not the only one!
As a beginner this is very helpful! Thank you xx
finally! i needed a video like this!
Thank you so much for this. I’m not a ballerina but I am a pitcher and this is helping me find my balance which is super important! ❤️
I love these exercices, they're my favorite, exactly what I need. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much. Im not a dancer however ive just had knee surgery and im using some of these excercises to strengthen my good leg. They've also helped by stability when using the crutches 😁😁
Loved this video definitely going to be doing it daily, ngl tho I shed a tear, these calve work outs are brutal
Thank you so much for your videos. I can only attend ballet classes 1/3 times a week due to my school hours and i'm so anxious since i'm falling behind but your videos give some kind of guidance so that I can still do something at home
I wish you were my ballet teacher bcs mines a super strict and scary ballet teacher but she made me a better dancer so I appreciate it
Doing these every day before going back to class....and today hoping all is well with you in Texas!
FANTASTIC video for Irish dancers!!
Wonderful Class!
Would love more strength videos like this Katie 💜💜💜
I enjoy your videos so much! keep them coming!
Game changer, thank you Kathryn!
This felt amazing- I’m just getting back into dancing after 10 years and having this kind of guidance makes me feel safer in my journey!
calves are burnin!! really helped me strengthen my pirouettes and muscles
Absolutely perfect. THANK YOU. I tie a thera-band around my calf or ankle, and then to a chair or table, and then do calf and ankle exercises that way --- it works like magic!
I love your channel! Literally just found it yesterday and i’m already doing this! Man, i can feel the burn 😭 but i hope i can improve with this
This was REALLY GOOD!!! Thank you so much :-) I like the way you include the balance checks at the end.
Your videos are so helpful!! I was able to do a double pirouette after yout last video and I also just did my split on my bad side as well, following along with your stretching routine after class! But... I have one thing I struggle the most: I have huge difficulty on supporting my leg in the air... after a couple of seconds, my leg just "fall" or I get completely unsquared on the hips... Are these exercises helpful for that kind of situation? If not, I would love to see a video about it! Thank you and sorry for any grammar mistakes XD Portuguese is my first language!
Thank you so much for this workout! I definitely felt the burn in my calves!
Thank you so much for this video! just by doing it once my legs are already stronger for my ballet!
This video is awesome, i just wonder if you could do a whole video just on balance, that would really help
this workout was the key for my calf strengthening!! thank you so much!! can you also do a video on turns and how to perfect them!! because thats what im struggling with. and also a video on how to perfect your jumps and exercises to help them!! thanks!!
oh yes! adding this to daily home regimen
Thank you so much for posting this!!! Love it!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😘❤️😘❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘
My pleasure!
Thankyou so much!!!
Loved this! Amazing calf burn
Thank you for this video! I'll definetely try this. Could you maybe do a video on increasing your turn-out? I struggle sooo much with that
thanks for showing us your routines.. They make sense and I'm going incorporate some of these where I need help :-)
Seriously amazing. Thank you!
Love all of your video content!
Can you please do a video about muscle soreness and preventing injuries!!!
I'm an aspiring distance runner, and i'm adding this to my strengthening workout haha! Thank you! My left achilles has always been giving me a hard time >:(
Love your videos!! I'ww do this today with my students!! Best wishes from Portugal!
awesome thank you. I really need to build strength and your workouts help me tremedously
I just finished the whole video as a nonballerina, whoohoo thanks Ms. Kathryn :)

Thank you! I'm here to try and improve my skateboarding which is basically just aggressive ballet. :)
Thank you so very much. This is just what I need!

I AM LEARING A LOT, AND I TAKE THE KNOWLEGDE TO MY BALLET CLASSES.EVERY DAY I AM SO PROUD AND CURIOUS TO LEARN MORE.LOVE YOU KATRYN.GREATINGS FROM EDME TUJEEHUT FROM THE SUNNY ISLAND OF ARUBA.
Thanks so much for making this video!! I'm trying to get back into ballet after a couple years and your channel is so helpful! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I need to help my balance.
Great workout video for the legs, thank you!
I will try these exercises with my pre-point class :)
Hi Katie, could you do a how to/how you jet glue your pointe shoes video? It would be very helpful, thanks!
Okay but this actually really helps me
I think this is really great, thank you !
im getting back into dance after almost 3 years i need to bring back my flexibility and strength thank you so much for this
Tysm for this workout. I really appreciate it! Huge achievement for me: I made it to the very end of the video and I didn’t die doing this workout. (Although my calves do feel tired and I’m sure they will get a lot stronger after doing this workout.)
even though this isn't what i usually practice doing, it helps a lot to strengthen my legs for other types of dancing so i think it's a really good workout!!
This was amazingly helpful! Thank-you!!!
