Don Quixote Inspired Barre | Beginner Intermediate Ballet Class | Kathryn Morgan

[@bg9860]

I'm an adult beginner and love these performance-themed barres! They keep things so fun and fresh. Especially since studios are still closed where I live, I can live my stage fantasy doing these haha

[@francessmith40]

The leotard looks gorgeous! The velvety material is so pretty, and the skirt matches so well! Thank you for this great barre. Ready to die, and reincarnate with better turnout, everyone?

[@hahatata89]

I'm a beginner from Russia and i want to say thank you so much❤️ Your channel is inspiration for me. It's very useful and talented

[@becca5161]

uhh, I know what I'm gonna do today! ♥ thank you!

[@katelynbaker6832]

^^How I feel every time she posts one of these videos lol

[@lotte4905]

I had so little motivation to do ballet over the last month, we've had 6 month of lockdown in a row and no ending in sight. I was only doing the classes my teacher uploaded, but lost motivation and I guess I have to mix some of your classes in my routine again. You're so motivating and inspirational, loved to do this barre. Thank you.

[@debthompson4498]

I love these thematic barres---they are so much fun! Thank you.

[@cf4349]

I used to do your very first barres at the time, when you were probably the first one to put full lessons on youtube. They helped me so much besides my regular classes. Now, after some time i come back and find this video. Wow, I like every second of it!

[@francessmith40]

Would you perhaps do one for Sleeping Beauty when you get a chance? It would be a perfect opportunity to work on the classical style and iconic steps, ie. attitude balances

[@kathryn_morgan]

I will work on it!

[@francessmith40]

@@kathryn_morgan Thank you!!

[@alexa3492]

Kathryn, thank you so much for this! Just wanted to drop a comment here which I rarely do. I speak for myself, but I am sure I am not the only one, you just allowed me to restart ballet (I was told when I was a teenager that I was thin but not flexible enough) at 36, and I am so happy. I love your barres.

[@balletfitness2056]

This is a killer! My inner thighs were on fire 🔥 Advanced dancer coming back from injury 😊

[@cece121234]

Love the Spanish fair, reminds me of the Carmen ballet. Please do more inspired barres. Oh, would you ever do a floor barre? I know you mentioned it years ago, its perfect for my recovering foot injury. Thanks again for this, always love your videos and Zoom classes!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much! I’m not sure about floor barre as I’ve never taught that before, but maybe I could have a guest teacher come on and do one!

[@verborgenheitte]

Dear Kathryn- this is perfection exemplified- aesthetically gorgeous, and presented in such a warm and loving manner. I felt as if you were talking to me personally! My participation today represents my first ballet class in 35 years and I loved it! Although I am rusty, my body remembered a lot of the movements, which made for a very moving experience. I am very glad of your attention to adult ballet, because, like many who weren't good enough to try for professional level, I was not encouraged to continue my big love when I hit my teens. Well, thanks to you, I am now "back on the horse"! More than that, I had a huge mirror with ballet barre installed on the wall in my living room. Why not?

[@Marjiekc]

I am enjoying your classes so much! They are challenging but I can more or less manage to keep up lol And DQ is a huge favourite of mine - I love it - thank you!

[@Ferro.Farah2.]

Thanks!

[@luanaiacobucci2483]

I love it!!! Keep posting barres like this one. Totally feel the burn after

[@BallerinaValkyrie]

I've been taking lessons for about a year, and this was such a good challenge to see how much I knew. I used it as a replacement for a canceled class, and it was a great practice for my technique.

[@IggyKhvan]

Thank you very much, Kathryn! Ever since I started doing your ballet barre videos, I've got so much stronger and stable!!

[@monikaoverend4912]

One of my favorite barres of yours! So fun thanks!

[@Charlotte-sf4gb]

Thank you Kathryn for being my first teacher and doing it so well. You make me want to become a better dancer while still acknowledging that it takes time and practice and that it’s okay to have a bad day. Thank you for making it possible for me to start ballet in quarantine.

[@Eocomunica]

This kind of themed classes are SO great, I work double because I'm just happy and enjoying! Thanks Kathryn! From Spain with love

[@Theterebyte]

Absolutely loved this class!!! Repeating the exercise with out holding the barre was so genius!, I feel like I really worked my muscles and my balance. Thank you so much for always being so lovely and making incredible classes for us❤️

[@tc-uk4eb]

i REALLY LIKE THE MUSIC IN THIS ONE. CLASSY AND CLASSICAL, with the Spanish flair :)

[@Charlotte-sf4gb]

I love this. This might be my favourite barre you‘ve ever uploaded!

[@sienablier8931]

Thank you so much Kathryn for this great class!

[@hannabergmann8831]

Another great barre. Thank you!

[@anastasialenkova-molchalin5874]

'Use your balance ' to me means 'fall over' 😆. It is nice to go back to basic, thank you!

[@Ferro.Farah2.]

love it. thank you Beautiful Kathryn

[@hellohvj]

Yay! Thanks for another fun barre to enjoy between live classes 😁

[@cjudithd]

Thank you for all your amazing (and beginner friendly) classes !

[@Ferro.Farah2.]

over my head but I loved it. I will try and try again.

[@alexa7337]

just 3 days after starting ballet again after a long unexpected break, I'm already feeling myself and my muscles getting back into shape. Day 1 was a beast, I was falling all over the place and having considerably more trouble balancing, now day 3, doing so much better and it's feeling much more natural. maybe next week I'll try the intermediate/advanced. I imagine in 7 day, things will be feeling much better.

[@babsc.6279]

thank you Kathryn !!! this is so beautiful ....

[@giardinoninfa4985]

this is so exciting thank you for making this!

Thank you so much. I am doing this alone in my living room at age 42. It's a fun challenge. Very clear and helpful.

[@kim.young.]

Hi Kathryn thanks for the video, just wanna say that red looks really good on you!

[@CuteNoririn]

Thank YOU! This was so much fun! Challenging, but really fun. I will repeat this class in the upcoming weeks for sure! Lots of love from Europe!

[@Phoenixhunter157]

Thank you so much for this Kathryn ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽I love these themed classes. And I love all your new classes for beginners/ easy. I needed that so much.

Thank you so much for this barre, Kathryn. It came exactly the right time for me, as my zoom class got cancelled last minute. This barre was HARD but so much fun, thank you.

Thank you very much Kathryn 🩰🌹❤️

[@kathryn_morgan]

My pleasure!

[@captainstarfish436]

Thank you so much! Don Quixote is one of my favorite ballets to watch, and I especially enjoy Minkus' music. It feels so good to do barre with ballet music. Would you perhaps do a La Bayadère barre, if you get the chance? :) I love its music as well.

[@ky-de6hs]

Thank you so much for these videos! I recently moved states and I can’t get good training anymore, where I am so thank you for making these! Also that leotard is gorgeous!

[@lesleyoneill6064]

Loving this... Thank you x

Thank you so much for making this beginner version. Gotta agree, it’s still not easy at all😊😅

thanks a lot kath, i'm so excited to do this class!!!!

[@kathryn_morgan]

My pleasure!

[@Pluizje1998]

Another fun barre, thank you Katy! Will you do a centre and/or pointe variance as well? That would be really fun!

[@joyasydulcescoronado1673]

I thought that this time you were noy going to make me sweat....dang! Did I sweat! Lol. Thank you...Im getting strong!

[@lia1b652]

You Video is great I will definitely try to do this

[@robinsmum]

Thank you so much! This one was good for my ego after I totally killed the bird with the intermediate/advanced swan lake this week :)

Love you from Mongolia 🇲🇳 Wish you the best dear❤❤

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@millym3514]

I’m wondering if any dancers can help me? I’m a beginner doing these at home for the joy of ballet. I’m wondering if anyone else gets a cramping pain in the arches of the feet, it’s not bad I can work through it but I feel like they need massaging after a while. Is this because my feet aren’t used to this type of exercise, or something I can do to improve? Thank you for these classes Kathryn I really appreciate them! 💕

[@maatkaramaatkara5170]

YUHUUU I DID IT ALL! I DID IT! :D ...well, not perfect yet, but stil...

[@TheMusicMaker311]

We did this in honor of Cinco! It would be fun to have a La Bayadere barre

[@JenelleVanDiermen]

This is my favorite barre class. Is there any chance you could do a Don Quixote center class as well?

[@mirandaseitz-mcleese3108]

Sometimes I'm having a bad class like today (Bent and floppy legs are not cute and make balancing hard) and then I remember that I used to have to watch the intro to every exercise like four times and could barely keep up with the music, let alone notice bent legs and bad turnout...progress.

[@evakelly8515]

2:08 what part of the ballet is the music from? That music has been stuck in my head for the last week and couldn’t figure out where it was from😂

[@PoisonedApathy]

It's Kitri and Basilio's first meeting, from the first act.

Been taking ballet classes for close to 9 years now and i know i should be trying to do the advanced version. But I prefer this intermediate level. Is that ok or am i taking the easy way out? Tnx so much for your very helpful classes nonetheless.

Please do Paquita next :)

[@sofiaesperanzakobin3612]

Hello I love your ballet classes. I dance on my spare time, I am on an intermediate level. I used to go to a city 45 min from home to take ballet classes after work (before corona came.) I love Don Quijote, my favorite ballet. Will there be a Don Quijote inspired center ballet class? Or a Swan lake inspired center class? Thank you for your ballet classes here on KZbin!! Sofia in Sweden

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you! I will work on it

[@decli5010]

Can this barre be considered a cardio workout?

[@lynnrose7562]

You are so elegant.

[@kilandrayeuxdoux2804]

Due to a gout attack - can't do it. However, my cats are purring in time to the music and won't let me turn off the video. lol
