Am I Dancing Again? Will I Join a Company?

[@mmmstitch]

With a goal of one video a week, I’d like to focus on dance / workout content. There are lots of makeup channels, and very few dance channels.

[@kathryn_morgan]

That's what I was thinking as well. Thank you for the feedback!

[@madeline2282]

@@kathryn_morgan thank you for reading our comments and interacting with us! We appreciate it with how busy you've been :) so happy to see how well you're doing! I've had a hard knock these last few months and watching you rise like a phoenix is so inspiring and so helpful through my own struggles.

[@melanieholst9795]

I agree!!

[@AnnaAnna-zi8ri]

Amen to that!! ... not that ur makeup isn't lovely...but its definitely more difficult to find great dancer videos!

[@PlantBasedBride]

I would love to see videos on the subject of getting back to dancing at a professional level after an extended break! That’s what you’re going through now, so it will be easy for you to talk about, and it’s also something I’m dealing with (getting back into dancing professionally in musical theatre after about a year off because of injuries and mental health). I would be so grateful for any tips or advice you have! Some more specific video ideas in this vein: - how to get started (Very first steps so you don’t push yourself too hard or get unmotivated) - effective ways to regain technique, strength, and flexibility - mindset and motivation tips - classes for advanced dancers who may be a bit tight or weak due to a long break or injury I’m so happy to have you back and am so glad you seem to be very happy with where your life is headed. I hope to see you dance in person some day! ❤️

[@PlantBasedBride]

I would also be very interested in your adoption story! I want to adopt someday and love hearing about people’s experiences.

[@hannahdare4350]

I agree with both of these comments from plant based bride 💜💜💜 Love you Katie 💞💞💞

[@becks_r]

So glad you decided to pursue dancing again! Best of wishes on your journey. I would love to see Vlogmas on your IG story and your adoption story. I’m very interested in seeing lots of barre classes and makeup videos, but also in the future seeing more of your journey back into dance, like your training schedule and your eventual return to a company.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Great suggestions Rebecca, thank you! xoxo

[@noopy99]

I personally would be interested in the Balanchine Technique videos you once started, or explanatory videos in general that visualise certain steps (,and thus, compares them to other techniques). There are a lot of technique books, but for me, it is easier to watch it while having it written down to re-read. For variation coachings, I would love to see tips on how to master such a beautiful swan variation as Marinela Nunez just posted on her Instagram - in fact, how to let go in pirouettes and do back bends or something. For ballet classes (barre and centre) everything is appreciated, but I would be very interested in a beginner ballet class for children that I can use as inspiration for teaching or centre combinations for seniors taking ballet classes. I sometimes worry that I expect too much of both ages. Ballet Barre and Center for children, in general, would be cool. Even pre-ballet lessons or ideas for creative movement classes. :) Besides giving tips that help to execute steps you could go into more detail about the teaching aspects of steps and highlighting the teacher side a little bit more. E.g. what exercises teachers should use to prepare specific steps before they're learned. Anyways, everything you come up with is highly appreciated, and I can not wait to see if you are going to perform with a company soon and which it might be! :)

[@auriblizzard9388]

The makeup videos are cool but I would prefer dance related stuff

[@kathryn_morgan]

I agree! Thank you! xo

[@gratiamop]

I'd like make up videos if they were stage/character/dance make up

Awww thank you so much Elena! I truly appreciate it!

[@Alex_in_Wonderland111]

Makeup videos! Yes!!! I loved them so much! Especially when you took a ballet look and toned it down to everyday! I wore the Black Swan one to school once.

[@kathryn_morgan]

I will definitely work on it!

[@jenniferhumphrey8129]

So glad things are going well for you! Thank you for sharing an update. Please more Once Upon A Pointe! I think the Instagram stories is a good compromise for vlogmas. Love the technique tips videos, and would love to see a pointe class that’s a little bit more than the beginner class (which I follow along with 3-5x a week), but not quite as long as the intermediate one you did. I enjoy the makeup videos but not too often. Love you Katie! Take care.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Perfect suggestions! Thank you Jennifer!

[@cf8595]

You look incredibly bright and happy! There is a fire in your eyes and voice that I'm not sure I've seen before. When you said "I gave up everything for everyone else," I could kind of see that in the way you used to present yourself - always classy and sweet, but somewhat subdued, maybe because of the illness, but maybe still finding your own voice. You are a true hero(ine!) and role model for young women.

[@georgiacatt1979]

the fact that you believe in yourself and you're back dancing after you thought you wouldn't be just makes me smile. Best inspirational dancer everrrrrr

[@andreawortley8760]

Just wanted to say that you are an inspiration. You have not only helped my 10 year old niece with her ballet journey with your tips and encouragement but you inspire me by your graciousness, courage and determination not to allow your past to hold you down. We both enjoy all the videos you post especially videos about building confidence and your experiences of your ballet journey. Keep up the great work and thank you.

[@megangironda7109]

As a non dancer I like it all. I love the commentaries and once upon a pointe. I love the stage makeup/regular makeup. And I love learning about the world of ballet.

[@yams4305]

More classes PLEASE more classes!! They are saving my life. I’m trying to train alone to get but into working shape after a long break and they help me SO much!! I know they must be a ton of work but I swear I’ve watched your advanced barres probably 100x each. I really appreciate that you’ve made any and they are they best technique I’ve found in my searches!! Sending you love and I know you’ll find a company soon!!

[@ardnas994]

Hey Katie, nice video as always. I was thinking about some video ideas, so since you asked: 1) Can you maybe do a tutorial on certain steps. For example, when you do technique videos you often talk about tips and tricks and mistakes we often make while doing it, but not very often how to start doing it and eventually progress to the full move. For example, I would like to do a tour jete and even though your video on it was good, it was more for people who are already doing it (but with some mistakes) than for a complete beginners like me. So maybe there is an idea for a video (maybe even possible video series like - technique for total beginners, or something like that) where you go step by step how to start doing it. 2) Another video (or possible series) idea. Maybe we (students) can send you some dancing videos of ourselves (maybe doing a certain step or variation or whatever) and you comment on them while we're also able to see it, like constructive criticism we can all learn from (saying what was wrong and right, where that person should improve etc) . Like few short videos per episode, something like that. 3) Another video idea, maybe like once per month you can do some kind of video where you discuss certain things which are currently going on in the ballet world (for example, when you did your point of view on the Peter Martins scandal, but of course the topics don't have to be that "hot" as that one was). Let's say something similar like the "food for thought" thing. 4) Another video idea, maybe one video about "post ballet life". So many students and dancers are so much into ballet that they don't think ahead enough, so maybe you can give some advice and guidance when it comes to the "what to do when someone can't dance anymore or quits ballet". 5) Another series idea, something like "boys in ballet" where you can maybe incorporate male students (maybe even teachers), explaining steps and other things like stage makeup, clothes, stereotypes and so on. I feel like it would be highly appreciated among male viewers. 6) Another series idea, maybe you can do like short essay history videos where you talk about some certain things like "history of a ballet shoe" or maybe even series about ballet pieces where you pick one ballet (or a ballet character) and talk about why it's so important in general and so on. 7) Another one, maybe you can do series about ballet things called like "worth the hype" where you try and review some popular products, maybe just makeup, maybe some ballet stuff. 8) Another one, maybe you can start series on music in ballet. You have basic knowledge about music from what I can tell, but many students never really played any instrument, so maybe you can give some tips and tricks on how to hear music, rhythm and so on, to help the students with musicality. 9) Another one, you have around 200 videos for now, so maybe you can make one in a sense where you talk about your KZbin journey, from the first video up to now, maybe react to certain more important videos and such. 10) Maybe some video about foot care during the season and break. 11) Another video idea about various paddings, spacers and so on. Sorry Katie, I'm just full with ideas, so this might get annoying so I better stop, but I hope I maybe inspired you a little at least. Keep up the good work as always. Good luck.

[@angelaulrich8365]

I love #8!! I'm a teacher, and many of my students are so focused on the steps, they forget to listen to the music 🤦 or they just listen to the beat, but ignore nuances and crescendos and patterns and the style of the music. Musicality is so much of what makes a series of steps/poses an actual dance, an art, and Katie definitely has the musicality thing down 🙂

[@greenwillow5404]

I am all for you doing all the types of videos on this channel. I've never really differentiated between the two channels anyway. You can just organize them into playlists for people who are looking for specific types. Yes makeup, yes vlogs, yes ballet. I especially like your ballet specific workouts and stretching guides that are follow along style. They motivate me to do the additional training on my own time. And it's really hard to find anyone else who meets those specific needs.

[@estherherzog7655]

Katie, I admire the way you've taken life's setbacks and nasty turbulence and turned them into a fresh start. I'm sure you will return to your dance career with newfound maturity, grace, and artistry. We're all rooting for you! I also struggle with petite allegro the most in class. It would be very helpful to see a video about working on those quick firing muscles for those of us who feel a little lanky and slow moving.

[@larissaswayze]

So good to see your happy smiling face! For those of us who’ve followed you for years - you know anything you post we’ll love. But I totally agree with those suggesting videos about your journey back to class. Totally respect your need for privacy right now but whenever you’re ready I’d love to see a day in the life video with you going to class, working out, what you’re eating and all that. It’s fascinating to see what other dancers are up to on a daily basis! I’m so excited for you! ❤️

[@normamimosa5991]

Kathryn, your goal is SO INSPIRATIONAL. A testament to getting through a dark tunnel and seeing daylight at the other end. Meanwhile, your openness and honesty are among your strengths; however, your commitment to discretion, diplomacy and personal privacy where necessary, turns you into a very special person.

More Pilates/barre is always great to keep us working at home.

Hi Kathryn! I’m so excited about your return to dancing and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes you! Since you excel at the acting and artistry side of ballet perhaps you could do some videos on character analysis of classical ballet roles.

Videos about dance wear companies you really like, studio style look books, a week in ballet class outfits etc.

Hi Katie! In my opinion regarding makeup videos, I think a lot of people (including myself) need to know some specific do's and don'ts in stage makeup. There are beauty gurus who do normal day to day looks but they don't do makeup geared towards the atmosphere of a stage. I also would love to hear more stories in once upon a pointe. They are so relatable and entertaining. Thanks Katie for you're videos and best of wishes towards your new goal!

That’s so exciting to hear about you training for a company! As soon as you get in one, I’m buying a ticket to your next ballet. To be honest, I’m glad you didn’t share any details about your divorce. Talking about things like that creates more drama and you get down from the negative thoughts. In my opinion, it’s better to move on from things like that. You went through it, it’s done, move on. I would love more ballet videos! I currently don’t have any transportation to get me to any ballet classes so your videos are keeping me afloat

[@historylion]

Yes to more Once Upon a Pointe, please! I'd also be interested in seeing a video comparing the various ballet techniques (i.e. Vaganova, vs Balanchine vs Cecchetti etc). As a non-dancer/beginner adult ballet student/overall newbie to the ballet world, I'm also interested in a video on tips for watching ballet performances. Like miming, where to focus when there are so many dancers on stage, etc. On a sillier note, I'd love to see your reactions to ballet as portrayed in other media (the Barbie version of nutcracker, Princess Tutu, and Black Swan comes to mind). Excited to see what the future brings for you!

Oh and as far as preferred videos - Classes. As a busy mom/former dancer, it’s hard to find time to grab a class. A class I can use again and again to keep/rebuild my technique. Also, I’d love to see you document your journey back into dance. I think a focus totally on dance is what I would love to see. And believe me, I am a makeup girl especially when it relates to theater and it’s also fun to see into your home life-but you are in a new season-I think the season of sharing sooooooooooo much of you is a closed chapter. show us dance.

I was just rewatching some of your past workout videos and stuff and am so glad to see you back! I think it is really great that you are thinking about going into a company again, but we probably wouldn't get as much behind the scenes as we do now,I am super happy to see your health and your dancing improve where you can join a company and can't wait to see what happens next!

I am so glad you are dancing again! I can't wait to see where this second part of your career goes. It seems you have gained even more maturity after these experiences and that has soaked into your performance and artistry.

It would be lovely to see you taking class on your journey back to a company xxxxxxxx

I don't comment often but I'd love to see more once upon a pointe video's. More importantly though. it's so good to see that twinkle back in your eyes. When you started talking about the queen of hearts and "maleficent" you got this glow about you and your eyes started sparkling again. you have no Idea how happy that made me.

More Once Upon A Pointe please!! Would enjoy hearing your adoption story too. And well done for taking time for you - self care is not selfish: it’s essential 💚

[@wanderingchook1193]

having a video a week, its so easy to try and do too many different things. i loved your make up tutorials, your videos where you went through your past performances with commentary (you have such a great sense of humour and always explain the little behind the scenes things which is super fun) and even though i am far fron being a dancer, i do also enjoy your lessons on how to improve certain techniques. your way of explaining things it so easy to follow, you dont beat aorund the bush and you tell it how it is. i just know your lesson videos have helped so many dancers improve their work. i'd like to take the time here to let you know how much ive enjoyed being a part of your youtube channel. You are such a strong and kind person sharing your knowledge, creating your awesome subscription box and ive even seen that you'd offered scholarships. awesome. youre an amazing woman.

[@baileyym5251]

Your story makes me tear up, seriously. To think you thought you’d never dance again, and that it took such a devastating experience for you to find it again is absolutely incredible. God works in mysterious ways. You are super woman!

[@llamalover02]

Hugs to you! I am so excited for you, Katie. Congrats on taking the time to focus on yourself and working on what makes YOU happy. It warms my heart to hear that you're dancing again!

[@mysteria1243]

I would DEFINITELY love to hear about your adoption story for sure, and I always REALLY love your Once Upon a Pointe stories and your commentaries too. My favorite videos of yours are the ones where you just talk to us lol.

[@catisespinoza]

I love how you are such a lady and answer every burning question that we have yet you give us the answer that you are comfortable with, which I love! I'm really happy seeing you happy! I'd personally love to see more behind the scenes moments whether it be in the company or in a ballet

Thank you so much Catalina!
