NO INTROS Beginner Ballet Barre for Strength, Balance, & Turnout | Kathryn Morgan

[@darlenemgraeser7241]

I’m a 74 year old woman who has danced her entire life. You seem to be peering through time and space to know exactly what I need. Balance becomes a challenging thing for the aging brain. Alas, your use of barre and barreless workout is precisely what I need. I thank you for your tenacity to re-invent yourself as my personal ballet mistress.

[@conniekern3051]

I am echoing your Sentiments, Darlene @ Age 66. Luv Kathryn Morgan!!

[@margaretlizlieberman5959]

I'm 71 - an ex dancer. I LOVE your classes. I miss it so much and will never be able to do what I once did but your classes are just perfect and you teach the basics so well Thank you!

[@PleinSoleil25]

I would love a hybrid with no intros BUT with the talking during the exercises. It is so helpful to have the tips while you are doing it and it’s motivating! I do the one with intros and try to FF to the exercise

[@heidibcarlsen]

I agree! No intros but being able to hear your wonderful tips during the combination. Wonderful life saving classes during covid!

[@cattitheketone4500]

Dear Kathryn Morgan: Thank you so much for creating these videos for us. You put your mind, soul and heart and we really appreciate it. I hope one day I can give you back what I’ve learned for you. Your videos are magic and I’m imagining I’m in a beautiful world without diseases (I’m an ER nurse) By dancing I’m escaping from the reality and I co-create my own reality. God bless you always Catti 🐝

I am a dance teacher who suffered a head injury a month ago. My doctor recommended physical therapy to regain my strength, balance and control but I knew that all I needed to do was get back to class! I started today with this class and it was a perfect balance of simplicity and challenge. It was lovely to focus on all the details. Thank you!

[@clt2744]

I hope u r well n back to dancing now ❤

[@alyssarosengard6674]

This workout was really challenging. I am a fifty year old beginner but I’ve been dancing for about five years. I really have been thinking about you Kathryn. All the difficulties you have been through. I had been worrying and then I remembered, Kathryn is a strong woman. She gets knocked down then she gets back up and fights. I know you will find your own path that is right for you. In the meantime, you’ve inspired a middle aged woman who has health issues, to love the ballet you instruct. Stay safe.

[@patriciaanderssonlindahl9883]

I have done this ballet routine almost everyday for 2 weeks now and my ballet has improved so much!

[@marissabojiuc]

I have for at least 7 years now! :)

[@adambray1305]

Best ballet classes I have found online so far!

[@lindagassmann61]

Thank you for this challenging beginner class...I was hanging on for dear life and really enjoyed it! Best wishes to you, beautiful Kathryn 😊

[@courtneymallick5699]

Just want to express so much gratitude for your videos. My 9-year-old rhythmic gymnast had to give up formal ballet due to schedule conflicts a few months ago, and her technique is really suffering. Ballet technique is so important in RG for muscle control. She started taking about 3 online barre and centre classes at home and has improved so much in a month. Can't thank you enough Kathryn!

[@sktotoro96]

I found this video at night. . It is hard to wait until tomorrow. . The music is so nice. . . Lovely. .

[@cutenoterchen]

Yay! put in my playlist: From Sunday to Saturday I do different ballet barre workouts from Katie every day. :D

[@SylesteHoskins]

I've been doing this 2-3 times per week for 3 months and today I FINALLY made it through the plié relevé exercise at the end! The last 8-16 taps weren't terribly high, but that's progress!

[@Ferro.Farah2.]

Thank you beautiful Kathrn.... always the highlight of my day!

[@Ferro.Farah2.]

i live for these classes.

[@estherbohnhardt2648]

Thank you so much! After a surgery I'm painfully out of shape after just 1 month no class! And now it's lockdown again...This barre is somethin I can manage right now and hopefully recover my strength.

[@susanbauer4370]

Wow! That was surprisingly difficult-- so valuable to me. I learned how much I was over-relying on the barre and actually off balance. I learned I was relying on the barre to gain extension (at the expense of alignment). That was quite a challenge, and I will be coming back to it as well as trying to reduce my reliance on the barre in other classes. Thank you so very much!

[@cece121234]

Cannot wait to try this without intros. Though I do find myself pausing and rewinding...

[@leannascott]

Hi Katie, I found your channel a couple months ago and I so appreciate all that you've done for us dancers who didn't start out at 2 years old. I'm almost 49 years old I've always loved dance and every form. Because of the pandemic I started taking online lessons with my ballet coach who also does figure skating which I do too. We both embrace ballet to help us look graceful and strong on the ice. My coach was no longer able to coach me so I looked online and found you! I appreciate your love and honesty about everything in the ballet world. I did this beginner workout about a dozen times and I would say I'm finally getting it! I'm really focusing on getting my basics and getting a strong foundation. I've seen much improvement in myself already. Appreciate you so much 🤗.

[@adambray1305]

Music is also fantastic!

[@unemployedself8121]

I fell off a ladder landing on both feet. My knees took a hit. When I returned home after emptying a house practically by myself I broke my toe. I am so out of shape. I’m afraid to take a public class. I like the short classes. Your classes are wonderful thank you. I was able to do it enough to get benefit.

[@lunazhou6316]

I love these workouts! But sometimes I feel like the beginner ones are a bit too easy and the advanced ones a bit too difficult. ONLY IF YOU WANT, could you do a 100% intermediate workout? I love your work!

[@analarson2920]

Variety can be good but yes 100 % of a certain type is nice.

[@esstown]

Especially with speed of the battements - would be great to have something in between the easy/beginer barres and the intermediate ones.

[@gerbertela]

Agreed. Even if the intermediate ones are just the beginner ones to faster tempo music

[@natashaa.atkinsmsw5868]

This is an amazing workout. Thanks for posting.

[@clairel5858]

I love your videos! They always inspire me to do more. Thank you so much for your time and effort!

[@esstown]

Thank you dearly for posting this version! I love it!

[@lynnrose7562]

Just beautiful Kathryn.

[@gabrielleschechter4295]

Thank you. That was awesome. This seemed harder than the more advanced class!!!

[@anaperezburillo4312]

Hi!! it's Ana from Spain thank you very much for your classes. I am enjoying ballet again :)

[@yolizacevedo7599]

Thank you so much! I really love your videos because they are helping me to make my wish come true. My best wishes for you, you are so talented.

[@LadyLara1]

Yay! These are my fave! Much love from New Zealand!

[@Ferro.Farah2.]

[@ann-marigrndahlbardum6061]

Love it! Thank you I’m very grateful 😻

[@pinupgirl00]

You are so lovely and generous!!!!!

[@SmokinJelli]

I like this routine so much. It's definitely building my strength up! But I get a charlie horse on the last part. Still doing it tho!! Thanks for making this.

[@ajesver185]

Ahhh so excited! May I put in a request for a barre or workout that works out extensions? Thank you!!

[@lyaluca4149]

Thank you so much!

[@musicalfroggy]

I got so excited by Hairspray that I missed the start and had to rewind!

[@hildasantos2075]

Hello, Kathryn! First of all, thanks a lot for you content it's always amazing and I always love it, i've been following since i was around 14/15. I'm 19 and have always loved dance, especially ballet, but was never able to actually do it, because classes and all the stuff are quite pricey in my country. I would really love to learn it (even if just the basics, cause it is a very good exercise and i've been needing those) but i don't have any equipment. I do have a full length mirror (not very wide, perhaps around 50 cm) and a variety of chairs in my house to use as bars, unfortunately no ballet shoes and no idea of what type of clothing i could use. Do you believe I can follow this bar (even though i don't know any of the basics yet) or do you know of some even more beginner level classes i can find online? I would also really appreciate any tips you might have. Thanks in advance for everything and keep up your incredible work. Love from Brazil 💕💕 (i commented this on the other video as well, but i thought this would be easier for you to see)

[@TinaMartinez97]

I am doing this at home. Just wear something comfortable, leggings, sweat pants, a top and barefoot or you can get ballet slippers online they are not very expensive. Chairs work as a barre too

[@jessicastraub1132]

Im early!!II love the Disney theme!! Have you been back?(I know you and your parents were French Quarter fans.) Id love to see a video if you go back. (You and your man might also enjoy Beach Club-its my favorite, although this year we are hopefully trying Carribean Beach for Christmas.

[@janellabaxter8372]

Katie, can you do a "How to" video on développé arabesque? I have always had trouble finding the position behind me.

[@SageGarlandSingerSongwriter]

Hi Kathyrn! I heard from someone online that doing ballet from KZbin tutorials without a mirror or someone to watch will actually teach bad habits. I have done ballet classes before, so I already had some (small) sense of technique. I found their comment really sad because I've really been enjoying your classes, and realistically, I wouldn't be doing ballet very often without channels like yours. It seemed like kind of a perfectionist mindset. What do you think?

[@lia1b74]

Thanks

[@dlourdes4743]

ouch!this was fun and painful too!

[@danaeesponda8757]

This one was great! I’m sore all over my legs haha! Love it!

[@azzariaalure]

Can you make some warm up videos for beginners to gain flexibility or just regular warm ups :) just came across your channel and I love it this will be so much help I am a beginner and thins will help me so much with hand movements and my feet thank you!!! Much ❤️

[@manonj7990]

Which ballet slippers do you prefer and would recommend for an adult beginner working out from home? Thank you in advance for your response and hard work!

[@adriennesudolsky8829]

What is the list of music played on this video, it was very nice?

[@이정인-n2g2x]

Is there no music link?

[@junebug2705]

Hi Kathryn, how can I get on pointe fast? I'm eleven now and I am just wondering about some exercises to strengthen feet. Thank you:)

[@aballetgal6788]

She has a video on ankle strength with Suffolk. If you look up Suffolk Kathryn Morgan ankle strength I’m sure you could find it! I did it everyday for about a month and it significantly helped me, although I’m in my 3rd year of being en pointe.

[@ajesver185]

Hello there! Your age is exactly when I started pointe and I had to do a series of exercises to make sure I’m strong enough. I recommend all her videos to help strengthen! Get that theraband out!

[@junebug2705]

@@ajesver185 thank you!:) I was a little bit nervous because I will be twelve in October and I didn't want to get en pointe late, but now I think I have nothing to worry about!

[@ajesver185]

@@junebug2705 aww I'm so glad! pointe takes a lot of work and I think eleven and twelve are perfect ages to start pointe! just to be safe, I really recommend looking up the requirement of skill to have on pointe because I actually had to go through physical therapy to make sure that I was strong enough. best wishes vv :)

[@Thecogmom]

Does anyone know the song that is used during Frappes?? It’s driving me nuts! Haha.

[@user-lg3lw3qk6s]

hello I don't know if you will reply but my grand jete has to land on one leg and stay and I can never stay when I achieve all the corrections like travel and out. and my grand jete often lands realllyyyy loud. Do you have any corrections for me please? my competition is in 3 weeks and I am so scared. (I commented on your video about grand jete but it's 4 years ago so I'm not sure if you will reply. that's why I'm commenting here if that's okay)
