What a treat. Doing some barre now to keep me busy during our quarantine lockdown. Thank you to you, Christopher, and Ella for the much needed dance class today.
This is so lovely, and long!!! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!! (Thank you Katy for editing and Christopher and Ella for teaching) Love you and thank you so much!!
Thank you Ms Morgan and Mr Sellars for a lovely, challenging barre!!!! I'm a retired (older) dancer who teaches and I'm always interested in picking up pointers to teach my students!!!! Cheers from New Jersey
Christopher is a great teacher. His instructions are crystal clear and the combinations are interesting. And wow, Ella! Her back is so flexible! She's a lovely dancer.
Beautiful flow in this class and I adored the music. Thank you Chris for your time and effort and thanks for being there Ella to follow when the cobwebs got in the way. Your technique is so pretty!
Thanks so much Katy, Chris & Ella. Not going to class is the hardest part of lockdown, especially being stuck inside with nothing to do when is cold and raining out.
Wow, this was challenging in every way! I really appreciate the technical comments. Ella is a beautiful dancer and Chris looks great too, even though he says he doesn't...what about those pirouettes! :) Thank you all!
I LOVED this class. It's so helpful that he gave corrections before each exercise, and what beautiful music and combinations. Thank you to Christoper, Ella and you, Katie 💕 Hope you're keeping well xx
this was so much fun, so chill and such a helpful class. For the first time in years i can properly get my hands past my toes and onto the floor with minimal pain!! Thank you to all who put this together :)
Hey Katie, thank you so much for the amazing content! Your boyfriend is a lovely teacher :) I've been having a migraine these past few days but I will absolutely try this when I'm better. Also if I might make a suggestion I would really love another "Once upon a pointe" video. "Watching" videos is too painful and exhausting at the moment but listening is fine so I've revisited your "Once upon a pointe" videos and I enjoyed them a lot :)
@@kathryn_morgan Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm looking forward to it :) Stay safe and don't forget to use some of the time for self care! xoxo
yayy! my dance school has been trying to teach online too, but we have so many different levels, it's different to cater to every one so i'm using their warm ups mostly, and using this barre!
Thank you so much, so professional & helpful, also great teacher! Perfect video for home workout as all ballet class & studios are closed here in Germany, BIG THANKS!!
Thank you Mr. Sellars - I love this barre - it's just the right mix and long enough for a full barre. I am curious as to the reason for adding the head rolls to the prances in the warm up - I've seen this a lot lately. Thanks you so much!
Thank you! I'd only change him out of black clothes for visual clarity when he doesn't give a vocal cue for front/back. Much appreciation for giving us an advance class.
Great class!! It was challenging for this adult ballet dancer but absolutely loved it!! I think I did every combo twice until I got it right 😂 Thanks for taking the time to make this!! 🩰💗
First you are such an amazing couple!!Second of all this was such a good class!I took it while at quarantine!I had to take a lesson for almost 2 weeks and this really helped(although there was a little problem cause I had an unstable chair instead of a barre😂)I will definitely take this lesson many times again!😁❤🔝
I love these so much! I am not sure if it would be possible to do more of these with Christopher or not? I thought they were great tho! Thank you😁😁 Ella is so talented⭐
OMG!!! Thank you thank you thank you ♥️♥️♥️ You two are so lovely! Ella seems friendly, she is gorgeous & obviously excellent. Chris is lucky to have you in his life 😍 I bet you would say that you too 🤗 looking back at what you went through personnaly, I am so happy to see your eyes glow, Katie ☺ Can't wait for more videos with the two of you 🙏 Blessings everyone!
@@kathryn_morgan oh and tell Chris that I am sure many of us like to watch his technique - isn't he too harsh on himself? Plus, he is not 'just' teaching but passing on so much knowledge and good vibes to the ballet community 🌟 love his style of teaching, gave me a good mental workout too with all the tips and corrections! Great point about ballet being unfair 🙃 Hope to see more classes from him 🙏
Which ballet style is this? Ella overcrosses her tendus from first like in Balanchine style, but then she moves her head through the barre combinations, while in Balanchine style barre the head stays towards the front. Also, she looks towards the wall for tendus derriere like in the RAD method, but then she also turns her head Vaganova style when she closes in fifth after tendus a la seconde. I’m really curious
Ballet West actually teaches a combinations of styles. That's kind of their method! They want their students to have a mix. They want to expose the students to all of it.
This is really amazing! Thank you so much for this, it's really brightened my day, the only thing missing is corrections, but we can't have everything haha
Hi Kathryn! Could it be possible that you do one of these for beginner/intermediate? I started doing ballet around 3 months ago after a long long looooong time and I don't want to lose my progress 😔 thank you! ❤️
Loved it! Thank you so much. It would help also if he has a microphone like the one you use to film your videos. Lots of echo and it was hard to hear what he was saying. 🥰
Do you have any cardio solutions for those of us who don't have access to a gym due to COVID-19? I don't want to go running due to potential for stress fractures or other injuries common to runners. Thank you for your suggestions!
We would love to! And will make that happen. The problem is I'm currently in Miami and he's in Salt Lake. But once the coronavirus craziness passes, we'll see what we can do!

Christopher is a great teacher. His instructions are crystal clear and the combinations are interesting. And wow, Ella! Her back is so flexible! She's a lovely dancer.
This is the perfect barre! Easy enough to follow but difficult enough to feel really challenged
Beautiful flow in this class and I adored the music. Thank you Chris for your time and effort and thanks for being there Ella to follow when the cobwebs got in the way. Your technique is so pretty!
Thanks so much Katy, Chris & Ella. Not going to class is the hardest part of lockdown, especially being stuck inside with nothing to do when is cold and raining out.

There are so many tendu and jeté combos at the beginning of this barre but then no adagio exercise at the end, that’s totally new to me!
Chris is such a good teacher! The explanations in between is so helpful, thank you again ❤️
yayy! my dance school has been trying to teach online too, but we have so many different levels, it's different to cater to every one so i'm using their warm ups mostly, and using this barre!

I will be doing a beginner class soon.
@@kathryn_morgan thank you!!
Omg! Finally! Thank you so much! 💪🏼😍
I’ve never clicked a video so fast!!!! Yay!!!
Loved it! Thank you so much. It would help also if he has a microphone like the one you use to film your videos. Lots of echo and it was hard to hear what he was saying. 🥰
Yes we were well aware of that! He didn't have one, and we are currently in different states. So I couldn't give him mine. Next time!
Do you have any cardio solutions for those of us who don't have access to a gym due to COVID-19? I don't want to go running due to potential for stress fractures or other injuries common to runners. Thank you for your suggestions!
I will work on that!
Ella your back flexibility and port de bras are nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL!!!
I'm so happy for you both!!
Thank you so much!
I’ll be doing this today!!!
Yay!! Thank you! And also #couplegoals 🙏🙏👍
Haha thank you! xoxo
