I went to SAB after my high school graduation in 1954. After retiring from a ballet career, I started a second career as a ballet mistress and teacher. I am now 81 years young, still teaching, learning and bringing the classics to my community. Your classes help bring fresh material for my students and wonderful memories of Mr.B. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your intermediate/advanced Barre/Center and Pointe classes.
I don’t want to be like “you look so much better because you’ve lost weight” but the toxicity holding you back was a weight on your shoulders, seeing you without it is so refreshing and motivating. Thank you for being an inspiration for a 16 year old who thought she couldn’t start dance because ‘started late’ who now dances weekly (And is loving it) Here’s to positive role models! ❤️ Ps.Im not even en pointe but love watching you dance at any degree 😂
I must say I can't imagine it is no picnic or should I say cake walk to master Pointe class. Can we do a Lilac Fairy variation class? And maybe a technique video how to walk and run in ballet.
Hi Kathryn! I just want to tell you how proud I am of you for going back to ballet after a several-year setback in your adult years, when things ideally would have gone smoothly but instead bestowed you with perspective and wisdom. I had a nine-year illness that I thought would never end, and now I’m well and back to a better life than I could have imagined even before the illness. I appreciate that you are finding purpose and meaning in your unconventional journey, and that you’re living your best life and sharing it with us just by being yourself. Thank you so much. Always cheering for you! Take care.
It sounds super mean, but it's nice to see that you struggle too sometimes. Even amazing dancers like you aren't perfect all the time (although I think you slay all the time)
I'm really hoping NYCB takes you back. It would be a tremendous PR opportynity for them as well, (especially with the recent scandals). Your story is so inspirational! They shouldn't miss this chance to have you dancing on their stage once more! xx
So, I can't ballet but I sometimes put your classes on when I'm having trouble sleeping because your voice and the music and both really soothing. I love watching you. Your joy comes through the screen.
Amazed at anyone giving this anything but a thumbs up! I am a college degreed master pedagogue attesting to the professionalism and appropriateness of this lesson!
I love this. I'm finishing med school so I don't have a lot of time to take ballet class and this helps a lot with keeping my feet in shape. Thank you katie!
i just discovered your video, i like the courses, it feels like dancing all ready in intermediate level, its not boring at all. I have taken ballet cours very young from 7 to 14 years, now im 53 and start taking courses only because i love it. In the past i have taken pointe classes, now im not ready, i start to loose poinds and soon i hope i could take pointe classes. Enjoy your video Kathryn, i like also your personallity. You are an inspiration to me. I m from Greece.
Your beginning and intermediate pointe classes are really great for this old gal trying to do pointe again after a 15 year break. Your combinations are simple and straightforward but very effective. Thanks for doing what you do.
This video is my absolute go-to when I'm working on pointe outside of my usual classes. It has everything and you're such a fantastic teacher. Scrolling through the comments that are a year old, seeing everyone wishing you the best of luck for your return to dance and knowing where you are now just makes my heart so full. You deserve everything and more!
I haven't worn my pointe shoes for a class in about 5 years and I just turned 38...but watching this makes me want to take a pair out of the closet and try your class!!!
This is good. It has all of the elements of pointe work - after mastering these exercises you will be able to do virtually everything en pointe thereafter. Work up to it!
Thank you for posting a new ballet class video!! I love taking your classes and I am writing to request that you make more intermediate/advanced classic ballet barres and especially center workouts!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much, I've been looking for more variations in pointe classes so when you said you were doing another one I was beyond excited. Can't wait to keep working and see improvements!
LOVE these follow-along class videos. They are so helpful and I always learn so much. Definitely make more! I also love how this is designed for small spaces.
To be honest I like when you make a full ballet class with barre and centre in one💜💜💜 (compared to when you make just a barre video!) But I love them both!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hadn't danced on pointe in a long time, thanks to your video I'm getting my strength back! after doing the routine 3 times I was able to do this video without needing a break!!! Thanks!!
God Bless & thank you Katie for this video! Your other barre/centre/pointe videos (especially your exceptional pointe “pointers” ) changed my technique in the best and most drastic way! I’m so SO proud of you, Katie! Sending you best wishes with prayers of happiness & fulfillment in both your professional & personal life. You seemed to have re-discovered a new vigor, excitement, and passion for ballet. What a euphoria: bask in it, as you’ve built the platform to do so for as long as you wish no matter what happens professional and no matter the duration of time. How strong you are: physically & mentally: constantly re-creating yourself and making gorgeous outcomes of otherwise tragic situations. I pray to be strong as you are. So much respect. You’ve given me hope in general & inspiration with your videos (re: my hypothyroidism during this time in my life regarding change as well.) God Bless, prayers, and love sent to you in the meantime. (And gratitude for this amazingly challenging video) 🙏🏻☮️💕🦢
Thank you! You have this older chicken back on pointe!! I started with the beginner classes on pointe and am working on some of this class.. Not quite ready for all of it, but pleased with my progress. Thank you for reminding me of all the important basic elements of pointe work!! It has been a dimension of my ballet training that I missed.
Thank you very much, my virtual teacher. You don't know how much it was good to practice your lessons in hard times. I wish to see more pointe classes.
Loved my Pointe shoes as a young woman. I would be so proud when blood soaked through the satin. Now in my 30's I'm making my husband put in a dance studio for me in the basement for me. So I can do I what I loved in my younger years. Hoping to share this passion with my future children.
This is amazing! And it came for free... Wow you are promoting this art and helping other dancers to achieve their goals! The new Queen helping ballet to evolve in this new era. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart. I respect you and admire you way more than words can express. 💞💞
Wow! Watching this, I realized how much the arms and head vary from school to school. I’m learning Vaganova so it’s quite different. Great combinations!
I really enjoyed this one. Im trying to get better on pointe and i think this was definitely a challenge for me! I would love more pointe class videos!!!
Thanks so much for this one! Going to commit to doing this class a couple of times a week, and will gauge how well it goes as I progress. Just what I need at home! Great workout for small space!
Have been putting myself through this video a few times a week, it is still very challenging, but it's excellent! I don't have access to pointe class right now, just taking regular classes in pointe shoes, but this really sets me up to be strong. Thank you so so much Katie!
Katie I’ve just done this after months of recovering from an injury and not being able to dance well in my advanced classes. You have successfully killed me!! (Jokes aside, such a great class even if it’s an old video.)
I love your classes! Have you ever done a stretch barre class? I know you have floor exercises for stretching and strengthening, but I’d love to see how you incorporate those into a barre.
I loved it! I "would" be able to do exercises if the music was slower and the exercises repeated. There are no other on line advanced beginner alternatives! I can find either very beginner's class on pointes or this one (away too fast). Tx!
Hi Kathryn, It's so nice to see your videos again. I know this class is to be done on a solid floor, but my house is almost entirely carpet. Could I do your other classes on carpet and still get the same benefits?
Hi Katie, I‘m have started to dance on pointe a few weeks ago and it would be amazing if you could do a beginner pointe center class. I personnally struggle with dancing on pointe without the barre and I think it would be really helpfull if I could practice that at home to. Thank u so much! :)
Royal ballet has a video on the evolution of ballet. The lady giving that lecture explains what several commonly used words are. Like battments. I may have butchered that spelling.
Could you maybe do another beginner pointe class? I am trying to get back into ballet and really need to build up more muscle in my feet. I really like the beginner pointe class you have already done. I have been doing it everyday along with the beginner ballet barre workout. It’s helping a lot.
One thing the Australian Ballet does that really helps feet is 24 reléves in first right foot left foot everyday and no one has tendon it’s sprain foot etc. out teacher has us do that every day and it does really work. I loved this class this is really helpful
Thank you so much!!! So nice, useful and practical. I really appreciate your dignity and determination. So helpful to enhance ballet and offer a realistic view😘🤗😘Greetings from Barcelona (Spain)!!!
Kathryn! You are so wonderful to watch and your hacks are so good! I have a bit of a conundrum and I hope you can help. I have very narrow and shallow feet. Can you recommend a brand or two for me to try? Thank you!

you’re amazing! 🤩💓
Please admit that you are the exception and talk about what happens to the bodies of most ballet professionals

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it. Xoxo
Kathryn Morgan no! Thank you! Keep doing what you’re doing ❤️ (and good luck in NY!)
Wondering if you could do a video about improving foot flexiblity and arch?
Yes!!!!! This would be great, please film this!
yes please! if you see this 💓
Great video. I am rooting for your success in NYC!
Thank you so much!

is there a time marker in the video where she mentions nycb?
@@sophieluskin5589 no but if you watch her other videos she talks about her history in the company.
So, I can't ballet but I sometimes put your classes on when I'm having trouble sleeping because your voice and the music and both really soothing. I love watching you. Your joy comes through the screen.

I watched this even though I'm not on pointe because I just love watching you dance!

Love it! Thank you! This is great! It helps so much to have these combinations to do while I'm stuck at home during Covid 19.

Kathryn, online resources like these are so valuable for dancers, I can’t thank you enough! Looking forward to more pointe classes in the future!
Great presentation.Thank you. Great value now in small space to practice steps.
loved this video!! I'm so glad your back posting regular now I've missed your content so much
Yes do!!!
Thanks for the video. The course was great. I loved to dance.
Thank you. Love your classes . Very detailed.

(compared to when you make just a barre video!)
But I love them both!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for posting this!! I really wanted to have a class to follow along to at my house.
So excited to try this! My goal this year is to improve my pointe, so this is perfect!
For the past 2.5 year or so, I can't go to studio dance, so I have been using your video practice at home. Thank you so much! Really appreciate!
such a nice conditioning class. thank you Kathryn!
I loved this video! So fun! Can you teach more on how to pirouette on pointe? Also how to do jumps on pointe would be great! Thanks so much!
What a joy to watch! Thank you Katie! xxxxxxxxx
I hadn't danced on pointe in a long time, thanks to your video I'm getting my strength back! after doing the routine 3 times I was able to do this video without needing a break!!! Thanks!!

I can't get over how amazing you look! :) :) Also, your pointeshoes look so good on your feet!
Thank you very much, my virtual teacher. You don't know how much it was good to practice your lessons in hard times. I wish to see more pointe classes.
Loving the torture combination! Thank you :)

This was wonderful to watch. It was great to see how a class actually goes and all the effort which goes into it.
Thank you so much!
Loved it! Thank you, Katie! Great class!
Thank you so much for this video! I will definitely be doing this class multiple times. Love you Katie!
Great lesson, thank you very much ❣❣❣ I still have great difficulties in raising on one foot, will work on it 👌
I really enjoyed this one. Im trying to get better on pointe and i think this was definitely a challenge for me! I would love more pointe class videos!!!
Great! Katie!!! Apart from the fact that you look perfect, I loved this very technical and strengthening class FOR SMALL SPACES!
You are just crazy
you look so beautiful when you do pointe work and you have amazing arches and strength ❤️❤️❤️
Love it! Thanks!
Thanks so much for this one! Going to commit to doing this class a couple of times a week, and will gauge how well it goes as I progress. Just what I need at home! Great workout for small space!

This video was so useful!

Love it! Fun!
Thanks for the amazing class! Blessings ♥

Wonderful class! Thank you, Kathryn.
Looks amazing. Love watching ballet.
Could you do a beginners pointe class please? I only started out 1 year ago
Thanks for a home workout video I can do at the kitchen counter!
This was super helpful, the way you explained the combinations was great. Your classes are inspirational!
I have never done ballet And after all of your videos i am so amazed how you can do these things 😍 you are amazing!
Ooh I will be frequenting this video
Ballet is fun!
Please do more classes like this!
Hi Kathryn, It's so nice to see your videos again. I know this class is to be done on a solid floor, but my house is almost entirely carpet. Could I do your other classes on carpet and still get the same benefits?
I practice in my attic so this is perfect! Thank you!
My daughter finds ballet very interesting keep it up
Hi Katie, I‘m have started to dance on pointe a few weeks ago and it would be amazing if you could do a beginner pointe center class. I personnally struggle with dancing on pointe without the barre and I think it would be really helpfull if I could practice that at home to. Thank u so much! :)
What a great way to start the weekend. You look amazing! Wishing you much success, health and happiness in 2019!
Beautiful!
As a non “ballerina” 😉, I would love a video explaining the definitions of ballet words. For instance, what the heck is a Coda?
Royal ballet has a video on the evolution of ballet. The lady giving that lecture explains what several commonly used words are. Like battments. I may have butchered that spelling.
Yeah, ROH has a ballet gossary playlist. :)
Loved the class! So hard, by the end my right foot wouldn't cooperate 🤨 Will definitely need to come back to this
Could you maybe do another beginner pointe class? I am trying to get back into ballet and really need to build up more muscle in my feet. I really like the beginner pointe class you have already done. I have been doing it everyday along with the beginner ballet barre workout. It’s helping a lot.

reminds me of pointe class and how hard it was but it takes you somewhere that nothing else can
You are very pretty Kathryn! Also this class is very beautiful.
Thank you!
Thank you!! I just came back from a show for Chinese New Year!!
OMG her face after the "torture combo" I was dying. Hopefully I'll be able to do this workout someday!
Kathryn! You are so wonderful to watch and your hacks are so good! I have a bit of a conundrum and I hope you can help. I have very narrow and shallow feet. Can you recommend a brand or two for me to try? Thank you!
