I'm so happy. I was finally able to get a full split in my sissone today.

You always open my eyes for perfection. Thank Kathryn. 🙂🤗🤗🤗

Oh thank you! These are the only jumps that I can't get. This video really helped me improve my technique.

[@kathryn_morgan]

+Julia Grace I am so glad this helped you!

[@adancer7094]

Hi Katy!! I love your videos and I was wondering if you could make some videos teaching different variations. My studio does not have a variations class but I love learning them. Your channel rocks and all of your videos are amazing. Thank you for taking time to make all of your amazing videos!!

[@kellyl6108]

So many things I haven't known about sissonnes, great vid!

I LOVE this video. Thank you for explaining things in such detail it's very helpful :)

[@sadierosco9591]

Hey Kathryn, First, congratulations on your return! I really hope we can see To Dance on KZbin soon. My question regards your thyroid illness: you were hailed as NYCB's rising star, then you suddenly had to leave ballet. Did you ever feel angry at the world, like "why me"? I'm a pre-profesional currently sidelined with a knee injury and it just feels so unfair, I'm angry all the time. Your advice would be so helpful. Sadie xo

[@TheAdnaz]

Please do a video on "How to get ready for Ballet Competition" video! I truly appreciate it

[@natalieyoung2679]

[@daniellebraasch9581]

Thank you!!

[@jellybean9382]

I go to a little ballet school in a tiny village, and my class (grade 4) and the class above (grade 6) are joined together for a one dance exam, and the teacher put sissonnes in which are grade 5 syllabus, so most of my class don't know how to do it. I'm quite good at picking stuff up quickly, so I can do it, but the rest of my class can't and they're not asking the teacher to go over it, so its really messy. I get really annoyed at some of the stuff they do there (like this and not letting us take exams because not everyone is ready, ect.) but the only other ballet school in my area has a group of girls that hate me and I don't want to put myself in that situation. I mostly teach myself more advanced ballet from these tutorials, but I could be doing it wrong and I don't have a teacher to correct my mistakes. I really love dancing, but my classes put me in a bad mood. What should I do?

[@vivianleung4494]

Definitely love your channel. I'm having a problem with holding my turnout for retiré, especially in coudepied devant. Any exercise or tips to tackle the problem?

[@r3w824]

Can you do a technique tips on not gripping with quads? I have a really big problem with it.

[@keiseegee]

if anyone's curious: the french word for scissors is "ciseaux"(see - ZOH)

[@victorndcarv]

First time I really understand what exactly I'm supposed to do.

[@liha7444]

Thank you so much, Katie! It really helps me!!! I have a problem and I'm sure you can help me: I have a really unflexibel back... this is so depressing when I do a Cambre or an Attitude... Could you do a video for back flexibility and strength? Greetings from Germany :*

[@greywolf8060]

Please explain difference between sissonne and failli.

[@betsykirkland418]

Is that why so many ballet dancers look like their heels are Not coming down? Because they are focusing all their energy on being on the balls of their feet? Does the balance between Being on the balls of your feet, but Putting your heels Down occur after years of practice? I ask because sometimes I watch professionals who don't look like they are putting their heels down. Is that just how it appears to me?

[@Taeskfsone]

Hello :) is it possible for you to make a video on the correct angle of attitude derriere? I'd been attempting to have the best attitude but it doesnt seem right...>< thanks a lot :)

[@corafitzgerald7652]

If I ever become a professional ballerina I feel like I should send part of my paycheck to Kathryn because she is 80% the reason I got there.

[@aliyasharp9281]

Help with brise vole??

[@kaylindrag4946]

Could you do a video on proper hands?

[@luciak9999]

I was just working on these in one of my last privates! Thanks for doing this tip! I have one question for another video, do you have any tips on keeping your technique through movement? My teachers all tell me I have very solid technique at the barre and then it doesn't always follow through on center. Or I can get pretty good at a certain turn etc when I just stand and practice that one thing but as soon as it's in a whole moving combination I lose it. Do you have any experience or tips to deal with this? It's SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

[@tigersroar785]

Hi Katie. (My name is Katie too) ! My ballet teachers tell me I have great use of the head and artistry but I lack technique because I have trouble tucking my hips under and keeping the stomach and ribs closed. I keep on trying every combination in class but my body is not cooperating (lol) any tips?

[@myamedeiros7381]

Kathryn I wear gaynor pointe shoes and as you may or may not know they have a bit of padding within the shoe I have many pairs of toe pads but I don't wear them it stuffs up my shoe and makes going on pointe feel weird but after a while my big toes begin to kill I've tried lambs wool sponges toilet paper everything do you have any tips or ways to help ? Btw I'm such a huge fan I seen a nyc ballet show one year on a family vacation in London By far one of my favourite company's I love Balanchine choreography lol

[@singer2be256]

How do I hide nausea while dancing?

[@2013Queen]

You look great very talented! I think you should experiment with necklaces to break up the V neckline of your garment. It can look boxy. Just and idea I don't dance but have an eye for design. Hope I haven't offended you no malice intended.

[@tofuneggplant]

difference between sissone and glissade

[@teedahlee]

What is that flooring that you have?

[@dancelover2088]

Have you started to sell your signed pointe shoes yet and how many do you think will be sold?? xxx

[@kathryn_morgan]

DanceLover Not yet! Hopefully this weekend! I will be sure and let you all know with plenty of time!

[@dancelover2088]

Ok thanks, I can't wait to buy a pair! xx

[@nacoleonedaniels9652]

Kathryn Morgan I think you should make a Snapchat account. ^_^
