When I was a kid my father didn't let me go to ballet classes but I was told that I was talented, now I'm 15 and I always thought it was too late for me but finally I'm deciding that it is never too late.

[@gytdfykuhgugiuhojlkmn4309]

It's never late!! I believe that you can do it!

[@carolguo9090]

My DD’s teacher started from 14. She was so good she even won several world rewards. It’s never too late! Work hard and press on!

[@kerenparker7801]

I started ballet at 15 too.

DO IT GIRLLLLLLLL WOO I AM SO FREAKING DETERMINED TO START BALLET AT 14 NEVER TO LATE IF U HAVE THE PASSION!!!!!,!, >:O

[@SpiderKelsey]

girl I am 23 and I am just starting! I am so fascinated by ballet. Good time to start is now!

[@Hellbender8574]

This class was perfect for technique and strength. Simple exercises, done precisely, appropriate music. You also explained each exercise very well, and the mic and music were just right.All while being mindful of space for those of us at home. Thank you very much.

I tried this yesterday and I found it super difficult and I did it again today and I could get through all the combinations. This was just what I needed.

[@alexa-wq1sj]

me too! I like that I can do the combinations over and over again, so now I know that by heart and I actually can see a progression!

[@elijimenez7710]

The progression is so so fun! This is just what I needed also ❤

Of course!

I did Ballet for a really long time (started at six, stopped at 26). Now I’m 32 and doing this video after 6 years without dancing. I loved every second of it! Thank you so much, I didn’t know how much I missed doing ballet 🥹

[@trinitywilliams6728]

this is absolutely positively harder than I expected I don't even qualify as a beginner *cries*

[@sheejathadeuse7468]

There is no rule it should work in the first try. Try harder and I will get it

[@alexandra-mariiagridneva8212]

Dear Trinity, just pause every movement and repeat by yourself without pressure of keeping on. I just started in a beginner class. It’s not easy for anyone. Exercising and re-doing the moves at home is a true blessing from Kathryn 😍😍😍

[@bighitstannnnnn1203]

Honestly there is a slow paced class called absolute beginner ballet class and she really takes her time to show u all the positions, and basic movements of ballet. You should definitely try it if you are finding this class difficult.

[@priyankabhise5290]

@@sheejathadeuse7468 dont worry I did this for 4 days although I reached till 16 min ... it boosted my confidence... keep working hard

[@clt2744]

This is technically not a beginner's class, some steps are quite advanced; I wouldn't expect a pure beginner to be able to execute them - it takes a lot of practice. Don't be too hard on yourself.

[@potterhead9.3.45]

Hey Kathryn, I wanna thank you for your videos. They're incredibly helpful and inspiring! I've been dancing since I was 3 (for 13 years now) but I had to temporarily quit due to a stroke. Now I'm diagnosed with a disability called hemiparesis but I'm not giving up. I've been professionally dancing on pointe before and I have to restart from zero again but I'm gonna keep going and your content is helping me to do so. Thank you so much!

I'm at 4:06 and I'm already sweating and sore. Mad respect for ballet dancers.

[@TaliankaSings]

The combinations were lovely but my brain couldn’t process the feet (what is right what is left, it’s not you don’t worry hah, it’s my inability) and I always struggle with “reversing” sides when I watch a tutorial on yt so when you showed them from the back it was soooo helpful!! Thank you so much Kathryn, you’re such an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and full of tips!!

[@rachelkearney8042]

The back helped me so much too. I always get confused in class and never realized how much I confuse right and left lol

[@henbenshoshan8939]

Great lessons for beginners! I enjoy every moment. I would love more lessons for beginners, at the bar and in the center. I am a pianist, and somehow all the arts can connect at one point in life. Thank you!

[@maryryan8465]

Im 40 and had to stop ballet at 13. Because of doing yoga the past 8 years i was able to start doing this class. Its really generous of you. The national ballet school of Canada has zoom classes for money but i dont have a big computer. When i did ballet we had Russian ballet exams.

I would love a refresher class on the positions: efface, croise, etc. PLEASE. I'm super turned around, and I want to mark my walls. Thanks Kathryn!

All your beginner classes are so amazing and perfect for me. You are a huge inspiration for me, Kathryn Morgan. I used to do ballet but quit because I felt really insecure about how I looked. But your videos have reminded me how much I love ballet. You are a huge inspiration.

[@dianeharlow1891]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate these classes. I was just about to return to ballet after a ten year break, then quarantine. It's amazing how much a body remembers. Thank you again. Take care and stay safe. Much love ❤

I am so excited that you are posting beginner videos and I say thank you!!! I had taken a couple years of ballet and I had not been able to go back for a year or so. Work schedule conflicted too much with the classes. Now I get to learn and workout with one of the best!!! Thank you for taking the time and sharing with us.

[@dancesational1507]

Ok so basically I am a total beginner in ballet. I don't go to any formal ballet school I have been practicing the ballet barre beginner and felt like I should do a centre workout ...honestly this was my second day ...staring was followable for me I could follow along with a little struggle ....but I just messed up at piourettes .....i fell; disblacned but still got trough it ....Will keep updating this comment with my progress 😊 15/02/21 ok so I have progressed bit...higher pose and very improved balance more endurance ...and surely more strenght ...

[@356diane]

funny how this is a beginner class and I would be thrilled to the moon and back to do any of it sort of well. yes to the moon around the moon a few times and back. thanks for making a class for those who want to exercise with purpose and thrill to learn something beautiful who know they will never be professional dancers but just want to experience something beautiful

[@lvan_studio]

While it’s so moving and great to see everyone giving live classes, your high quality super easy and clear to follow video class is even more amazing! Thank you! ❤️😍

[@mmn958]

😍 I still remember the beginners centre class you did ages ago, believe it or not that and the accompanying barre is still one of my favourites! Thank you for showing what not to do and for the constand reminders on weight placement, I always find that most helpful. Would it be possible to post shortened versions (without the commentary) of your recent classes?

Just really appreciate it

Hey! Just wanted to thank you for this video. As a kid I had to leave my country due to a dictatorship, and my lifestyle had to change drastically, so of course I had to stop doing ballet(which I loved). Now I’m 20 and since I can’t afford classes, I decided to heal my inner child by practicing with this video. I even tried to teach my mom about posture😅. Anyways, I hope to keep trying because it makes me feel peaceful

This was perfect! Thank you for explaining the balance vs waltz, that is something that always confused me and it helped my combination look and feel way better than before (and it made sense as I was doing it). Also the glisses being slower was amazing, I can never get those right unless they are done slower 😂.

I wish I'd had teachers this good when I was studying way back when.

[@auntiejohoney8166]

I very much appreciate your beautiful technique. You and I are very fortunate that we do not have much hyper-extension. As a very seasoned dancer (58 years) and dance teacher (42 years), I discovered a solution for dancers who have hyper-extended knees: always lift your lower abdominal muscles upward, reach your heels down into the ground, and lift upward on your thigh muscles when you "straighten" your knees and when you return your working leg to a standing position. You cannot hyper-extend. It is worth retraining your muscles to avoid injury.
