NEW STUDIO TOUR! PLUS Open Class Schedule | Our Stunning New Ballet Space | Kathryn Morgan

[@andreahamilton9016]

It so amazing how you both put an importance for adult classes. I hope the rest of the nation in other studios follow your suit. Thank you for make us adults feel important and a priority in our pathway of becoming ballerinas no matter what age we started. I only wish I lived near your studio. Best of luck with your beautiful dream and thank you for sharing this with us. ❤️

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you! And it’s truly my pleasure.

[@felicityengel8812]

Me too😭😭 just come live in Cincinnati instead!🤣

[@ropegirl8761]

OMG! Ten adult open classes per week!!! That's amazing. Studios around me have 1, or maybe 2 per week, at best. What an amazing resource for adult dancers.

[@rae7080]

A little message before this video comes out; Please check out her studio if your interested! I went a couple days ago and it was a very magical experience. Meeting Kathryn was even a tad daunting in the best way possible. She’s truly authentic and is an amazing person to meet in real life. ^^

[@kathryn_morgan]

Awww thank you so much!

[@dorisrapino8694]

You once told me you were proud of me. Well, I am in awe of your achievements. Did you ever think, when you became ill and had to stop ballet for years, that you would come this far? Did you ever imagine that your courageous determination would not only bring you back to performing but would also walk you right in the arms of your dear Chris AND owning your own dance academy together? I am soooo proud of you and proud for you. You set an excellent example of not letting life's hard knocks keep you down. In the words of Rita Mc Neil. "...and you know the wings you fly will keep you in the sky. There isn't anyone can keep you down" Rita Mc Neil was a Canadian song writer and singer from Cape-Breton. She had a difficult life, an amazing voice and a rare talent for writing songs that touched even the hardest of hearts. Congratulations to both you and Chris. Take care of yourselves. Thanks for sharing you gift for dancing and teaching and for speaking up about the unhealthy issues in the world of ballet.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much for this! I SO appreciate it. Much much love to you!!!

[@Pluizje1998]

Starting with the white sheet background to your own studio with your own office! Hard work and dedication pay off! Congratulations!

[@kathryn_morgan]

So true!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

The MARLEY FLOORS are great for pirouettes. I rate this academy world-class, the stadium 🏟 size main studio is great for any 19th century classic staging. It's a winner. The Joffrey school I think had a 10 class card that when paid in full, you got one free for adults. I have friends who liked that special.

[@felicityengel8812]

Truly I want to say you are making a difference in the dance-specifically ballet industry. I hope you are both proud and I ask that you PLEASE continue doing what you’re doing!

[@katiefulton9456]

I wish you & Chris nothing but the best- I couldn’t be happier for you two, together! At last! What a dream and perfectly suited path your life has taken. I’m so proud- always cheering for you! 🙏😊💕🩰

[@deborahford8470]

This is so wonderful and you deserve all of the happiness you are feeling! The way you helped so many of us to carry on through the pandemic with your wonderful classes, beautiful technique and sense of humor is heroism at it's finest. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just wish you were located in New Jersey!! All the best to you and Chris!

[@armand9199]

I love that you have lots of adult classes. While a learned a little bit of dance in marching band, I didn't start taking formal dance classes until I was in my 30s. While I'm nowhere near professional, I'm quite proud of the progress I've made.

[@barbarabrafford7102]

It's so beautiful Kathryn. I am so excited for you.

[@meaghan8740]

Wow! This is incredible!!! What a massive and inspiring achievement. I live in Canada but someday I would be thrilled to come take class:) so excited for you!! Truly amazing!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@etprincipalis]

This is SUCH a beautiful dance school! Just from hearing you talk about the level of care, like the adding of spaces for kids to do homework, shows how much you guys care about your students. Really excited for you and Chris on this journey. 💓

[@cherylkavanagh3387]

I am so, so excited for you and Chris. Your space is amazing and I wish you both much success as you embark upon this exciting journey. ❤

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@kilandrayeuxdoux2804]

This is amazing!!!!! I also love how you are helping dancers with body imaging in the rooms. The mirrors on one wall like that really lets someone keep ones mind on ones own technique and skill without checking out ones fellow classmates skills, etc. Thank you for keeping that in mind too! My favorite space was probably the Crown Room - the decor is totally accurate for the little ballet dancers. Or the teens/adults who are really little dancers at heart. 😍

[@gregj831]

I want to wish you and Chris the best of success! You both deserve it!

[@nnargh]

From the very bottom of my heart, I'm so happy for you both! I've followed your journey from the beginning, and I'm almost certain that you're the person who got me interested in ballet. I don't dance at all and never have, but it's truly been a privilege to experience some of it via KZbin. Would love to hear about the process of finding this particular place, what went into it and so forth unless it's already covered elsewhere. Wishing you all the best with your wonderful new space! 🤍

[@cullen1379]

Yes she is so sweet. I am met her once and she was the most sweet and patient person ever. ❤

[@sewitseams5632]

Your studio is so large and spacious, absolutely love it! I use to live down the street from this shopping center, glad you were able to obtain the space. I remember there use to be a grocery store there, my manicurist was next door. Hope to fly back to OC soon so I can take a class with you. Been watching your videos since the very beginning, glad to be a part of your journey with you.

[@leahveneau3678]

OMG congrats on multiple appearance on Ms Mogo in the Top 20 Hardest dance moves. I am also so happy that your dreams coming true. I wish you the best!! From this old dancer’s heart to yours

[@wandafentonboykin66]

Congratulations and best of luck always! Can't think of a more deserving couple!!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

Wow!!! You guys have been SO busy. Congratulations! I’m so excited for you! All the best to you and Chris with all your new adventures! I wish I lived closer!

[@shelseawatt2625]

I cannot wait to take a trip to Cali just to dance with you!! Wishing you all the best! XOXO

[@catherinecarney2507]

I love everything, but… of course, there is a but, what about dressing rooms? Perhaps I am strange because I studied at Ellis-DuBouley Studio, Ruth Page Studio, and Lou Conte/Hubbard Street Dance Company, but there were always dressing rooms for the students to change in. I also took a class in Paris before you were born, Good Golly Miss Molly, and there was a dressing room. I am pretty sure all of my summer intensives also had dressing rooms. I know there was one at the San Diego Ballet. I lost a lovely leotard from the one there. I was used to hanging up leotards and tights between morning and afternoon classes, so I wasn't tossing them wet into my dance bag. I don't remember if I forgot it one day or it disappeared the same day (back in 1985), but it was one of my favorites, and it went "poof."

[@gaytrepagnier4098]

Congrats! very excited for you both!

[@orangecouch]

Props on the marley, you guys. I run a theater and we have to lay it every so often and it is no joke.

[@allegro1317]

[@adeneatz]

The announcement I've been waiting for!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful new space with us ❤

[@CarinRuff]

So thoughtfully designed! I'm thinking back to the (fairly well known) studio I went to as a child where there was definitely no hang-out or homework space. This is so welcoming.

[@julia.carino]

Are the classes ever going to be live-streamed so we can take from home? So excited for you Katie!!:)

[@anaramirez2935]

Nice studios! except for the pillars in the studio, yikes! They are worth removing. What is under the marley flooring? Concrete?

[@siobhanmacandrew7068]

I am blown away about you two laying down the flooring - your poor knees! (mental image of you both wearing those enormous knee protectors that contractors use). You truly have ‘laid the foundations’ for all those dancing feet. ps love the wooden bench in the lobby with the intricate back. Was it made for you? pps there better be handprints with date somewhere in the building! oh yes and finally, I think it is White Lodge Royal Ballet School where the have a bronze of Fonteyn. Everyone touches her finger before they go on ... so her finger is all shiny from years worth of people touching her for luck. I think you should have a similar object so you can have a little tradition of your own ..
