Thank you!

i love watching you two dance together. Separately you both are amazing to watch, but when you're dancing together, something magical happens.

Katherine & Sean thank you for sharing your rehearsal footage with Zippora Karz. Being a long time NYC Ballet fan and former Information Committee Volunteer, recalling yours, Katherine, and Zippora's careers at NYCB, I would suggest Zippora's 2009 book The Sugarless Plum regarding her battle with diabetes. I read her book, it is in my ballet book collection, and I recommend it.

[@seanrollofson8940]

I’ll have to look into it!

[@monongahelacats]

The Sugarless Plum is excellent reading.

The rehearsal and coaching process fascinates me, thank you so much for sharing Katie and Sean! I’m a classical singer and chorister, and the opportunity for one on one coaching to finesse technique and expression is similar in music, and is one of my favourite parts of what I do. I loved watching you all work together - looking beautiful 🩰

[@japanimesekai3985]

Wow, having someone to coach you on movement really makes such a difference! You guys looked even MORE amazing! I’m in awe of you both doing these difficult variations. So impressive and beautifully done!

[@kathryn_morgan]

It was fantastic to see you both push yourselves so hard🎉 Sean you look great 👏🏻👏🏻 I saw Zippora in Agon and she was sensational 🎉 So glad for you both 💖

[@lwoods1940]

So lovely. I could watch you two rehearse all day.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@kristiLB93]

Wow. I love watching her coach you through it!

[@brendastevens9077]

Great Work You two!!! She was working you to bone tired. I Love how you had the choice, of creative options.🤗❤❤

[@samanthab8222]

I love your leotard here Katie! You look absolutely stunning. You guys are extra beautiful and exciting here, loved watching you dance and the whole process

[@balletmeli]

Great episode. I cannot wait for the podcast

[@charlesTBear]

Love watch you two rehearse. Such a treat ❤

[@catherinewiseman-hakes5037]

Beautiful! And such a treat to work with Zippora!

[@seanrollofson8940]

We can’t wait to work with her more!

[@MrQbenDanny]

I would have liked very much a formal introduction on camera of this lady, her history with the NYCB, and defining the famous pas de deux, its style, and any other anecdotes. Did Ms. Karz, dance it? This placement rehearsal is vitally important for the minds and the ultimate liberation from it in performance when the artist takes over and engulfs inside its challenging glory. It's all there with no missing pieces to its puzzle. The PRIZE here for me is the piquant spicy tempos of the coda Katie and how deliciously you conquered it. Love the honeyed penchés. The port de bras like Buttaa. Sean is the partner every Ballerina wants. Reminds me of Sir.Antony Dowell. If only you would point your feet in the a la secondes ( which you can), but it is a 10am rehearsal. In closing, I would like you to keep that wonderful lyrical romantic style in the Pás of that first run-through. It has an ocean breeze quality hard to resist!!! Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🥂!!!

[@monongahelacats]

@MrQbenDanny Read her book, The Sugarless Plum

[@sbennettwealer]

Those pillars were giving me anxiety, especially during the fish dives!

[@cynthiab.9827]

An interview/discussion with Zipporah would be nice!

[@seanrollofson8940]

It would! We had a a great time talking a bit too. We will keep it in mind for possible podcast episodes in the future!

[@CalebDavis-yd8ie]

Hi Katie! 💖I'm going into a summer Intensive. I will be doing 6 hours a day every day, and I want to know how to build up stamina. Also how to be more confident on pointe. Thank you so much, Katie! Love your videos.

[@Hans6789-j9t]

Nice double attitude miss Katie❤

[@JGreen-le8xx]

Katie❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@taverninbetween]

[@СветланаОдинцова-ж1я]

Похудеть бы надо Кэтрин.. в Америке вообще возможно похудеть?

[@Julia29853]

She has Hashimotos hypothyroidism. It is very difficult to lose weight with this. She looks wonderful especially considering this condition. Look it up and educate yourself you rude online anonymous person.

[@catherineputnam2046]

Always love these videos! I feel like I’m always asking when is the podcast coming back, sorry bout that, but I miss it so much I can’t help it! The podcast and these videos always seem to help my anxiety. 🩷

[@kathryn_morgan]

We’ve recorded some episodes! Just figuring out things!
