Pas de Deux Episode 3: Promenades | Ballet Partnering Tips with Christopher Sellars | Kathryn Morgan

Welcome to the 3rd episode of pas de deux training. Today we work on promenades. My fiancé Christopher Sellars is going to take you through 4 episodes of very basic but in-depth partnering tips. Pas de deux work was his specialty as a dancer, and he is a BRILLIANT teacher and coach. This episode is about the basics of promenades - how to walk, hold, balance etc. Please be careful but enjoy!
*Attempt partnering at your own risk. Not suited for dancers under the age of 12. Women should have been on pointe for over 2 years.

Hi I'm Kathryn!
I am a former soloist with the New York City Ballet and Miami 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. Let's bring the joy back to ballet! You will see many different kinds of videos here including ballet classes, workouts, Q and A sessions, life advice, performances, beauty tutorials, technique tips, and more. I hope you find all of my videos helpful!

Really nice demonstrations. Kudos to Olivia, beautiful dancer in every way. Though I think we're all waiting on a wedding pas de deux for Chris and Kathryn...

[@lauragrace6641]

oh my gosh YESSS! It can be sleeping beauty themed!!

[@jocelyn5196]

Beautiful dancers. Chris is such a kind teacher that I love listening to these when I’m anxious. I would gladly listen to him talk for hours! I haven’t danced in years but it’s wonderful to learn more, thank you for doing these

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Katie do you and Chris have any plans to do a men's classes? I have a few little dancers in my life that I would LOVE to have learn from such an amazing teacher as Chris!

[@deborahford8470]

Absolutely lovely. These young dancers are beautiful to watch!

Chris: "Aurora is one of the hardest female roles in classical ballet."
Me: Just ask Katie...
Katie: *pops into view*
Me: *dies laughing*

[@kkauffman01]

Katie, your head popping up had me dying! 🤣

[@claramitchell2040]

I love all of these episodes and can't wait to take class from him this summer!

[@augustalavenderblue7353]

By 2022 there’s a large assortment of ballet technique content on TH-cam (though not all of it is created equal)-I’ve never seen anything addressing partnering before, though, and it’s such a huge part of ballet and yet something that most dancers not at the most prestigious schools with dedicated pas de deux classes (and equal boy-girl numbers) rarely experience. I love this, thank you Katie!

[@audreycottet3406]

This series is amazing! Thank you so much to offer this knowledge to a wide audience!

[@svetlanafomina6839]

This is so amazing. The explanations are so clear. I really found out a lot about partnering watching these videos.

[@bettymaines6305]

[@d14551]

I know you’ve done a video on turnout before and I loved it as an exercise, but no matter what I do it looks like I’m not even trying after 18+ years of dance. My knees point forward until I bend them and my hips look so stiff no matter what. Everyone just keeps telling my to “work harder, strengthen more” and it still does absolutely nothing. I’m at a loss.
