[@lillywhite6843]

You do this super cute thing with your fingers when you prepare to turn

[@melindahuntley9873]

I'm 77 and still dancing, still trying for that perfect turn, that thirst for movement is always there. I really like this video

[@omifunkemccloud3362]

This makes me so happy that you're still dancing. Live! Love! Dance! Always! ❤💃🏿💃🏻

[@Ladybug_0912]

Nice! ❤

[@aiyyoi]

we are working on attitude pirouette these weeks, this is really helpful to find the right feelings in my body to make it right! Thank you!

[@savypatel]

Thanks for a great video Kathryn! Videos on getting a great arabesque and keeping a good turnout while doing variations would be really helpful!

[@aliyasharp9281]

Help on arabesques? Love your videos! So very helpful! I've learned so much from you! Thank you!

[@yizhenglogan6500]

just finished my adult ballet class, I really need to practice more on the turns and very Happy to see this just the perfect time! you have no idea how much your teaching helped me as a beginner-every time makes a difference to understand the movement better. ... keep the nice work! more and more people like me appreciate your time. 🙆thank you very much!

[@shia_hulahoop]

Thank you so much for sharing this! What you say in the end about pushing with the back leg as well to get momentum really helped me a lot! I've been doing it wrong all the time, it makes a huge difference. I am really grateful for this ❤️

[@marie-pascalegagne6001]

Thank you Kathryn :) I appreciate the hard work that you put in your videos for us :D

[@KittyHurryUp]

the turn side shoulder back! it's a new view for me! now i remember, thank you!

[@jimjamzgymnast18]

Thank you! In class we've been doing combinations from grade 7 in the cecchetti method and there's a bunch of combinations that have these crazy double attitude turns en dehors or even triple attitude turns en dedans, but I couldn't even do a single attitude turn without completely whipping myself off my leg until I watched this vid. Thx so much!

[@springbeauty0941]

Can you do a video on exercises to hold your devlope to the side please? Thx! Your awesome😉

[@lydiathess]

Hello! My name us Lydia and I am a student from Greece. Recently I found you while searching online for pointe sewing tips and I have to say you've helped me a lot with your technique tips! I have been practising ballet for nearly 17 years now but no matter how many teachers you change, there are some things you're not told and leave you straggling for ages! So, I would like to ask you whether you have time to do a technique video for arabesque pirouettes? Thank you and lots of kisses from Greece! (I have shown your videos to some of Mt classmates and we're all super excited hahaha)

[@carmenchowable]

thank you , I recently learning it and in class there are lots I don't understand and you explains it clearly and show slove most of my questions.

[@renatasanches]

Thank you very much for the tips. You have amazing pirouettes. Hugs from São Paulo / Brazil.

[@AriRHen]

Thanks Kathryn! I'd love some tips on how to strengthen your legs for high developes. My teacher always says to think of lifting the leg from the bottom and not grip with the hamstrings.. I still don't seem to understand this..

[@rowantree7218]

This is such a fantastic video thank you and congrats on how great you look! Could you do a video on strengthening hamstrings/glutes for developes so that one is not just lifting the leg with the hipflexor and the quad?

[@katrinac.elssler4542]

Dear Katie, all of your technique tips have been so amazingly helpful!! Thank you so much for them!! Is it at all possible for you to do some videos on diagonal/around the stage turns? I know those demand a much bigger space... Thanks again!!!!

[@krisnatotani5192]

Thank you so much for the helpful tips! Btw your leotard is the prettiest one I've ever seen :)

[@RomeoNJulietLostTheGame]

2023 So helpful thank you! Please help with cabriole please

[@barbaralemere5183]

Great tips!

[@JackyREstrada]

Hi Kathryn! I recently started to learn how to turn, and I am still trying to make it work. However, it is a bit difficult for me to incorporate the Spotting. It would be amazing if you could do a video just about Spotting and how it works, how to make it second nature and all that :) Thank you! Oh, and congrats in getting back in shape. I know how hard it is, so lots of good vibes for many more cool things to come!

[@ilovekooky]

Yesssss this is going to help me with my variation! Thank you sooooo much

[@samanthacamden7385]

Love this series!

[@kellyl6108]

Hey Kathryn! All your technique videos have been really great, but can your do a back flexibility/strength routine? Thanks so much!!!

[@katieigoe9069]

would you please do a video focusing on en de donne (I apologize for my spelling) turns, and tips on how to do partner turns. Thank you so much for your help

[@ririsurya4689]

I love what you're doing for us! i found it very helpful.. specially for an adult beginner ballet student like myself. :) cheers!

[@kathryn_morgan]

***** Thank you so much!

[@ML-mi1oc]

Your videos have been incredibly helpful! Do you think you can do one about back flexibility stretches or a routine or something? It would be awesome!

[@meredithjenkins9984]

Can you do a video about overcoming one-sidedness? This is something I’ve been struggling with mostly in my turns, especially pirouettes.

[@maggiedorrell861]

I love these videos!! I would really love to improve my attitude in general. Could you do some tips on improving attitude?

[@tuanayucel3721]

these videos really do help!! Thanks :))

[@kathryn_morgan]

Tuana Yucel I am so glad!

[@delaneyhyatt5783]

I love your videos so so much! They really are helping me improve! I know this sounds weird but I can do pirouettes pretty well, but I have a lot of trouble with spotting... Do you have any tips to help with spotting? Thanks so much!

[@likearushshotthroughyou]

thank you!!! i needed this!!!

[@jessicakuhn2523]

Hi Kathryn, could you please do another barre on this channel please please please

[@brontepike9139]

I love your videos - I was wondering if you have any tips for devant developes? My side and back are easy, but i struggle to get above 90 devant? Thanks x

[@marianad5065]

Hi, Kathryn Could you do a video on how to deal with hyperextended knees? You said that you have them and I've been having some trouble lately with mine. Thank you!

[@noopy99]

I'd love to see a 'follow a long workout' for abs and core. You already did a class but maybe some exercises which help to build a strong core. :) I struggle with it so much.. My back is quite flexible and it it so hard to build this strong core for turns etc. Maybe you have some tips and advice for that? ♥ Kathryn Morgan

[@MariaFCF]

The leg in attitude must be at 90º or it can be lower? Thank you for your amazing videos!

[@juliamayer8201]

I am having trouble with arabesque turns. Can you make a video for it???❤️❤️

[@elisabethrose9626]

Thank you for this video!!!😀 I loved this it felt like I was there with you! You are a very beautiful dancer!!!! Kind of off topic, but could you do a video/ talk about Aurora In sleeping beauty? I am auditing for sleeping beauty at the end of the summer and I really want aurora!!!😍

[@PyromaniaFreebird]

Hi Kathryn, have you or anyone you know experienced Freiberg's disease/infraction in the metatarsal bones? Its something I've unfortunately had for several years and has prevented me from being able to progress in dancing because of the pain it causes to even go on my toes - never mind anywhere near on pointe. Any tips on how to avoid/reduce the pain or to avoid causing further damage would be much appreciated! (I've already had surgery for it once however its a recurring thing annoyingly)

[@duendesoledad]

Kathryn, girls! I'm choosing my first Eleve leo. My measurements are 32-24-34-55 (Bust-Waist-Hips-Girth), XS has (28-31)-(23-25)-(30-34)-(53-57) while S has (32-34)-(25-28)-(34-38)-(55-58). What should I go with? I'd appreciate any help!

[@CassandraTumasz]

could you focus parts of these videos on pointe shoes too?

[@pollysue5856]

Kathryn, what brand of shoes do you wear?I'm wearing sansha pro right now and their just to baggy on my feet, mostly when I'm pointing my toes. i would like to get capeizio but their shoes just fall apart so easily! i could get 2 or 3 pairs and alternate but would that help any?

[@Brunamou]

Hey kathryn, I love and really appreciate you, you're a beautiful girl, damcer and person (: I want to ask you something, what you think about gaynor minden pointie shoes? Thanks

[@ellagoulet]

Hello! I have been dancing for 10 years and I started pointe last year, at age 11. I have been trying some en dedans pirouettes en pointe, but I just can't seem to get up to releve and get around. Any tips?

[@margaritabreycheva6392]

Hey, Kathryn, I have been doing ballet for 9 years but i have recently developed a problem. Every time i point my foot it hurts my ankle right at the crease that is formed by the heel coming back to the ankle. I don't really know how to explain it so i hope you understand but i just wanted to know if you have come across this problem and have an advice. Maybe i have overworked it or it is not strong enough but i am kinda worried because summer intensive auditions are coming soon. Sorry for the irrelevant question but i need to know if i should worry or not. Great video though. The pirrouette series has been really helpful to me ily bb pls respond!

[@kellyl6108]

hi! I'm not Kathryn, but are you talking about your achilles? I had that same problem, even though my Achilles is really flexible it just started to hurt when pointed . It could be maybe you were cold or you likely just overworked it, you could put some tiger balm on it and buy this ankle support thingy u can get at target or from Walmart, it helps me a lot. Just don't work too hard on your foot and it should be fine :) but Kathryn probably has better advice, this is just from my experience, hope I help :)

[@Repanon00]

I had the same problem. It is tendinitis. You get it when you don't use a good plie especially when you do jumps. Just ice it, soak it in epsome salt. If it gets worse then don't take class. And if you are on Pointe I would suggest doing ballet but not Pointe.

[@ilovekooky]

I have (well, had, actually) this problem when I first started getting pretty serious into ballet. I'll tell you what I did to help. First things first, don't push yourself too much. I mean this in every aspect. When you feel pain, take it down a notch or two or just give yourself a break. You should also be careful that you're not pushing yourself over your pointe shoes as if to give yourself a better arch. You may actually need to get fitted for a new pair but you'll know when you really examine and observe how your pointe form is. While I'm talking about going en pointe, I'll tell you what really made a world of difference; make sure your leg is straightened out before you start rolling through your feet to go en pointe. You may want to watch yourself slowly go en pointe and see if your knees are bent at all when they shouldn't be. A good stretch that feels amazing when having pain is to stand on an elevated surface with about half of your foot hanging off and just let that part come down slowly and you'll feel the stretch. Also, make sure you're not doing anything like wedging your feet under couches or anything like that. Even "foot stretchers" can hurt you. From one dancer to another, I hope this helped and Godspeed. :)
