[@belladingdong3396]

What a treat. Doing some barre now to keep me busy during our quarantine lockdown. Thank you to you, Christopher, and Ella for the much needed dance class today.

[@revisitwinecompany357]

Wow, this was challenging in every way! I really appreciate the technical comments. Ella is a beautiful dancer and Chris looks great too, even though he says he doesn't...what about those pirouettes! :) Thank you all!

[@lindypierce3766]

I have never seen such beautiful barre work in my entire life. She is exquisite! I am verklempt!

[@emily-rb5dk]

This is the perfect barre! Easy enough to follow but difficult enough to feel really challenged

[@geneburk3187]

My thanks to everyone who made these classes available! It is appreciated. 😁

[@seaofglass77]

Using this several times a week in my kitchen during COVID 19 lock down. Thank you so much!

[@monongahelacats]

Christopher is a great teacher. His instructions are crystal clear and the combinations are interesting. And wow, Ella! Her back is so flexible! She's a lovely dancer.

[@redlantern3371]

Beautiful flow in this class and I adored the music. Thank you Chris for your time and effort and thanks for being there Ella to follow when the cobwebs got in the way. Your technique is so pretty!

[@susanamendiola-quadre6879]

this class is harder than it looks and I absolutely love it...been doing it for a year from home.

[@Balletpro1]

Thank you Ms Morgan and Mr Sellars for a lovely, challenging barre!!!! I'm a retired (older) dancer who teaches and I'm always interested in picking up pointers to teach my students!!!! Cheers from New Jersey

[@lea4834]

Hey Katie, thank you so much for the amazing content! Your boyfriend is a lovely teacher :) I've been having a migraine these past few days but I will absolutely try this when I'm better. Also if I might make a suggestion I would really love another "Once upon a pointe" video. "Watching" videos is too painful and exhausting at the moment but listening is fine so I've revisited your "Once upon a pointe" videos and I enjoyed them a lot :)

[@kathryn_morgan]

Aww feel better! I know the pain of migraines. Not fun! I definitely have plans for more #OnceUponaPointe videos! Getter better! xoxo

[@lea4834]

@@kathryn_morgan Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm looking forward to it :) Stay safe and don't forget to use some of the time for self care! xoxo

[@ellemason2055]

My daughter and I, love you so much Kathryn! Thank you for this.

[@sonyamorris1594]

Thanks so much Katy, Chris & Ella. Not going to class is the hardest part of lockdown, especially being stuck inside with nothing to do when is cold and raining out.

[@suzyanscombe8246]

I LOVED this class. It's so helpful that he gave corrections before each exercise, and what beautiful music and combinations. Thank you to Christoper, Ella and you, Katie 💕 Hope you're keeping well xx

[@lvan_studio]

Chris is such a good teacher! The explanations in between is so helpful, thank you again ❤️

[@lindagassmann61]

Thank you for this class! Wow..that was challenging...loved it! What a great teacher and beautiful demonstrator. Thank you!

AWESOME class. Thanks so much to both of you for taking the time to do this.

[@Ramb0Dust]

Loving this! Yay, I was wondering if you'll post a class!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Yes! And I have plans for more. :)

[@daniellebraasch9581]

Very fun and helpful class! Both you and Christopher explains things so well! Great teachers!!

[@Melodysuperstar1999]

There are so many tendu and jeté combos at the beginning of this barre but then no adagio exercise at the end, that’s totally new to me!

[@nw9801]

I want to cry!!!! So excited for this!!!!

[@egilley637]

Chris is a great teacher and Ella is a beautiful dancer! Thanks for providing such good content for everyone 🖤🩰

[@catalinaaristizabal9987]

Great Class!!! I am coming back to ballet after 25+ years! I am 46 now and this class has helped a lot!!!! LOL

[@bethanytyson8464]

this was so much fun, so chill and such a helpful class. For the first time in years i can properly get my hands past my toes and onto the floor with minimal pain!! Thank you to all who put this together :)

[@kaykipfilet]

yayy! my dance school has been trying to teach online too, but we have so many different levels, it's different to cater to every one so i'm using their warm ups mostly, and using this barre!

[@esstown]

Thank you Mr. Sellars - I love this barre - it's just the right mix and long enough for a full barre. I am curious as to the reason for adding the head rolls to the prances in the warm up - I've seen this a lot lately. Thanks you so much!

[@tvelicia]

Whoo! I love Ballet West 🤗

[@michellelee1893]

awesome!!!!! class!! I wrote this at the first time. Great ballet dancer& amazing teacher. U inspired me to grab the barre. Thank u ^^

[@juliainiowa]

Thank you! I'd only change him out of black clothes for visual clarity when he doesn't give a vocal cue for front/back. Much appreciation for giving us an advance class.

[@lynnmann7729]

Great class!! It was challenging for this adult ballet dancer but absolutely loved it!! I think I did every combo twice until I got it right 😂 Thanks for taking the time to make this!! 🩰💗

[@smadm2437]

@@kathryn_morgan oh and tell Chris that I am sure many of us like to watch his technique - isn't he too harsh on himself? Plus, he is not 'just' teaching but passing on so much knowledge and good vibes to the ballet community 🌟 love his style of teaching, gave me a good mental workout too with all the tips and corrections! Great point about ballet being unfair 🙃 Hope to see more classes from him 🙏

[@lav7076]

Loved it! Thank you so much. It would help also if he has a microphone like the one you use to film your videos. Lots of echo and it was hard to hear what he was saying. 🥰

[@kathryn_morgan]

Yes we were well aware of that! He didn't have one, and we are currently in different states. So I couldn't give him mine. Next time!

Loved this! Which David Plumpton soundtrack is this? The link is not working for me. Thank you!

[@missarthemis]

Love it! Thank you!

[@Melodysuperstar1999]

Which ballet style is this? Ella overcrosses her tendus from first like in Balanchine style, but then she moves her head through the barre combinations, while in Balanchine style barre the head stays towards the front. Also, she looks towards the wall for tendus derriere like in the RAD method, but then she also turns her head Vaganova style when she closes in fifth after tendus a la seconde. I’m really curious

[@kathryn_morgan]

Ballet West actually teaches a combinations of styles. That's kind of their method! They want their students to have a mix. They want to expose the students to all of it.

[@Melodysuperstar1999]
