Master Tombe Coupe Jete | Kathryn Morgan

[@estherhadassa1061]

Awesome! Even I can feel the movement of this ... while sitting on the sofa and watching this. Such clear explanation! You re not just born to dance, you're born to teach.

[@rebeckagwin5992]

Kathryn, I recently found your channel and I must say.... I LOVE YOU! You have reignited my love for teaching when I was feeling burnt out. You're just what I needed to remember how much I love it. I also miss performing, however teaching is where I am at now in life!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much Rebecka! That means so much to me!

[@nicolacastiello2849]

You're the best at explanation, this video literally cleared my mind.

[@alisontucker7721]

Thank you sooo much this isn't my best move and I have to do it as I'm entering onto the stage for nutcracker

[@kathryn_morgan]

Hope this helps! xoxo

[@katmaccoll2761]

Good job for getting their! Good luck!

[@dancingsiopao483]

[@solar0wind]

Dancing Siopao Yes, please :)

[@kathryn_morgan]

I will do that! xo

[@dancingsiopao483]

Kathryn Morgan yeeeeees! Thank You so much!! 😘

[@bethanycook8430]

Love your videos...i find them facinating...i don't even do ballet..keep them up

[@Buttercremee]

Can't wait for your next Q&A video, every time I see you uploaded a new video I secretly hope it is one, still love and binge watch all of your videos! Love you katie x

[@laurene1389]

You have such a nice, clear way of teaching and explaining things, it's awesome!

[@misskimberly5]

you are such a good teacher! This is so interesting & i'm not even a ballet dancer!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!

[@kenanna]

Love the new video. I know these days people talk about cross training, but I was wondering what you think about "artistic" cross training, specifically if your piano training has helped your dancing. It seems to me that the emphasis on phrasing in music would help with improving the "in betweens" that you mentioned.

[@snabeyratne]

Clear and precise, as always.

[@malabadeente3276]

It´s my first comment to your channel but I have to say that I absolutely LOVE you! I am 26 and wanted to start ballet dancing for a while now and your channel convinced me that I should try that! You are sooo pretty and gracefull! Such an inspiration! Thank you so much for teaching us and empowering us to do ballet regardless of our age! Please keep on doing that! I have been binge watching your channel for 2 weeks now! :-D Best wishes from Bavaria, Germany!

[@harumibuchholz3382]

Please make more ballet hair tutorials or makeup tutorials they are so pretty and I love doing them during performances!!!!

[@katyserene8914]

Sound got much better with your videos. Thank you for wonderful instructions always:)

[@bowawang7106]

The audio was really good in this video. Great job Kathryn!

[@christianbetts3887]

Hi Dame K! I'm glad you're back at work & the flooding in your neighborhood went down. I'm in South Fla Near Boca Raton, so I will watch your videos (as always) and pada boure Irma far away. Xoxo Love u my Real Life Downtown Abbey Ballerina 🎀🌷

[@veeralappalainen4805]

I have never been this early and I just wanted to say that you have helped me so much with my technique! Greetings from Finland:)

[@kathryn_morgan]

Awww thank you so much!

[@sarah-ur5px]

Thank you!!!! I was recently moved up from at level 2 to 4 and everyone knew it in my 4 class and I had kinda missed this. So this was very helpful!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Glad this was helpful. And congratulations on moving up! That is wonderful!

[@quintanahoyne]

You are such a strong woman! You are my inspiration truly! One that I am proud of

[@adrianafreitas5249]

I'm so happy I've found your videos! I am learning a Paquita variation that's all about saut de chat and coupe jetes and this is helping a lot! You're amazing and a life saver!

[@joyalways1179]

Thks K. It wld be awesome to see this and any jump in slow motion!

[@nicolechampeau8432]

Katie!! Seeing you dance is a sight for sore eyes, after seeing all the devastation in Houston. Keep yourself, and family safe. When you have time, could we maybe please get a center, to go with your pointe barre? Love from California.

[@bibifairy2897]

Tank you for this video ,you are a very good theacher i love your video ❤️!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!

[@caitlinfernandes107]

I just learned this step and this video helped me so much thank you so much Kathryn

[@jessijacobs8]

You're such a wonderful teacher!!! 😍😍💞💞

[@nixrose2028]

I had to stop dancing due to money and then a really bad spinal injury and hernia. Thank you. You’ve helped me reach one of my dance goals I’ve had since I was 7 (I’m almost 21 now)

[@ekaterinamitrokhina2040]

I did an audition For Nutcracker roles and I'm getting the results this Monday. I love your videos, Thank you. You have helped me alot. Could you please do more ballet hacks videos?

[@Kimberlykeepsdancing]

This is so good! I especially love the tips for technique at the barre! Thanks for sharing!

[@heather.l.reynolds]

A video on flic-flacs and tour jetes would be great!! Thanks so much :)

[@tingern]

Love your videos Kathryn! Love that you are starting to doing more tutorials on male centric moves. I am a male dancer started late and often get corrected on my extensions since i have very stiff muscles, wondering can you help out dancers like us? thanksss!

[@kathryn_morgan]

I will work on that! Absolutely! And thank you for following my channel!

[@tingern]

thank you! just wanted you to know that you have been a great inspiration for dancers whom started very late (like me, at 22) and did not do ballet professionally. the tricks and corrections made me worked on myself better!

[@amiyahlittle114]

i would reallllyyy appreciate if you did a video on improving switch leaps! i struggle with those!

[@laurenk.3158]

Love the video 😍 could you please make a pointe centre video? Could you also please make a video talking about how to improve your technique or as a dancer?

[@jefdud5548]

Could you make a video about the in between steps, showing how to transition from one step to another? Also love your videos they are so helpful!

[@ariadnidev4838]

Thank you so much that was very helpful!!! I really struggle with big jumps, such as entrelace, it would be really nice if you could make a video about them.

[@devipiper4717]

Thank you so much, Kathryn! Big Swan in training for studio recital . . . I so appreciate your coaching!

[@lojainnasr3574]

Can you be anymore amazing? Because we've found the Holy Grail of ballet! Thank you so so much Kathryn! I love this channel! God bless. #BestBalletKZbinr

[@kathryn_morgan]

Aww thank you! And thank you for your amazing comments N/A N/A! You are awesome! xoxo

[@lojainnasr3574]

And your coupe jete is stunning! I have a really nice oversplit in my regular grand jetes but in these? Oh not even close!

[@lojainnasr3574]

Aww thanks Kathryn! I can't change my youtube name. It's a glitch or something saying N/A N/A but I'm just 13 so I don't mind my name not up. :)

[@solar0wind]

Could you make a workout for the arms and upper body? I know that you have one using light weights, but my upper body is really weak (also, I don't even have weights), so a workout that's also about strength would be extremely helpful, even if it's not what you typically need in ballet.

[@kathryn_morgan]

I will work on it! Adding it to the list!

[@solar0wind]

Thanks a lot :)

[@woobeanjeon8515]

Please make a video for 'tours degages(lame duck)'! thank you as always

[@kathryn_morgan]

I will! They are on my list!

[@luanaiacobucci2483]

Kathy you are looking and dancing amazingly!!!

[@ezraj2489]

Could you pleease make a video on entrelacès/tour jetes?

[@ermionhkatsifa4850]

You are a teacher of the dreams thank youuuu perfect !! 😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌿🌿🌹🌹🌹

[@azarkiem6216]

This is so helpful, I struggle with those. Thank you !

[@kathryn_morgan]

Glad this is helpful! xoxo

[@johntiloshvilli]

That was really well done. I would like to see you talk about emboite en tournant. I have also seen grand emboite en tournant which travels much more. I only have seen it once in La Fille Mal Gardee.

[@juliezhang6243]

Hi, thank you for the video. Can you please explain how to make a cabriole? Thank you.

[@nannavendelbo5160]

Love the tutorial Katie!!! Where's your skirt from?

[@nicolescng]

Nanna Vendelbo ^ i love your skirt!

[@kathryn_morgan]

I got it on Etsy a LONG time ago. It's not even an actual ballet skirt but I converted it into one!

[@charlottesinclair9354]

I have been following you for ages and love your videos! Could you please do one on tips for brezés? (Not sure on spelling...) they are one thing I just always struggle with. Thanks!

[@DASHERBLITZEN]

Please , your technique advice on double piqué turns en-dehors!!! So used in manèges and at the end of practically every variation. Thx😊

[@heathersmith3580]

I love ballet This is the best

[@lisamccabe3835]

Hi Katie, what is your opinion of Capezio's new arch trainer "shoe"? Also, could you do a video about your favorite jazz/lyrical/ballet shoes? Which are your favorites for all around dancing/technique? Like, if you could dance in whatever shoes you wanted, what shoe would you choose the majority of the time? Which ones are best for turning? Leaping? Etc. Thanks! Love your videos!

[@luciak9999]

Could you please do a video on Chassé en tournant? I have them in snow this year!

[@sylviahalo]

1:37 I feel personally attacked by this relatable content

[@animatedmovies95]

these videos are so fun and make me so jealous you're jus like "so this is how you do it" and do it amazing and it makes a lot of sense ! do you have any tips for beats ? like jété battu ? my teachers say beat your thighs but i can never do it and just beat my ankles ! thanks for all of your other help tho ❣️

[@karliej6484]

I love your leotard, so pretty! Great analogies in your videos too :)

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@mimikaki4056]

Please do a video on how to control you body and like be tight and have a correct position and work your muscles idk if it makes sense sorry for this but I really need to get better at like controlling my body and not be tight all the time because I have had so many injuries because of it. Thanks

[@Erika-cw4lk]

Thanks so much this really helped

[@kathryn_morgan]

I will add it to the list!

[@Erika-cw4lk]

Thank you!

[@AliciaChan028]

Oh i wanted to learn this for a long time but this is not in my class syilibus of The Royal Acedemy of Ballet. Is this a male syllubus? Thanks for showing this. Finally i know how to do it. But i need to practise more to be able to get up. I have retired 20 yrs from Ballet

[@sarahstreeter9382]

Laity, could you please do a video about changing dance studios or something around that topic? I start at a new studio this coming Thursday. I hope you see this. Thanks for the tips!

[@amybun1194]

Could you make a video for tips on the miming part please? Like on Nutcracker?

[@saramalmstrom7059]

This is so helpful!! Thank you!!

[@pastelrose9980]

Your videos are so helpful and so informative, you've definitely helped me to improve as a dancer! Also, my mum has Hashimoto's and she's really enjoyed watching your videos about how you dealt with it because she finds it really difficult sometimes.

[@amandaeldridge488]

thank you this is so helpful!!

[@anikaxmeisel]

Hi! Do you have a video on how to do them from the beginning? My teacher said we’re doing them on Thursday and I’ve never done them before! It’s a university ballet class, so she doesn’t really explain how to do new steps.

[@sarahstuart1519]

Hi Kathryn, could you please make a tutorial on how to do tombe, pas de bourré, glissade and saut de chat? Love your videos 😍

[@PolyglotJ]

I love the pas de bourrés! They are pretty easy to do. All you have to do is to start in fifth position and place the leg that is on the back onto the ground and then pass the other leg on second position and end with the leg you previously moved in front. With arms what you have to do is first position, second, and end in first. Hope it helps you

[@sarahstuart1519]

Julieta Ugartemendia Wow this was so helpful, thanks so much! 💕

[@nicolevigneri]

thank you! this really helped me !

[@lucis222]

I NEED HELP! I have a very important audition tomorrow and I cut my toenails way too short. Like way, way too short. And they are so jagged currently that when I go en pointe the sharp points gouge into my skin and it is too painful to bear. Does anyone have any advice for protecting my skin/ quickly repairing before 2:00 tomorrow??

[@colleenmethod9431]

If you can try an emery board to file it to make it less jagged. Or I'd recommend maybe checking with your dance teacher about taping or other options. This is something that while I am not into pointe shoes I have done in the past and had to use tape on to help protect it while it grew out. Anyone else with ideas?

[@lucis222]

Colleen Method thank you!!

[@lojainnasr3574]

I have no clue! Ask your teachers hurry! Also tell us how it went, and what you did to save your toes. Merde!!!!

[@lucis222]

N/A N/A right now I'm using a nail file and trying to numb them with ice. I have to get ready in an hour. I'll update you once it ends. Wish me luck! 🙏

[@lucis222]

Live on Pointe hey! Just got back...basically, I used a nail file and then attempted to survive. Well, I screwed up big time so...I probably won't get a part. It hurt so bad. I mean worse than it normally does...😢

[@JessicabelliciMa1]

Hey Kathryn Morgan thanks you so much for yours dance video but for this one I didn't get it how you start the begining of your grand jeté.. when you turn at the beginning and at the end of your grand jetté.. Thanks .

[@EurasianMiHae]

I love your skirt. Where can I purchase one?

[@graceogarastg2368]

My feet always sickle on arabesque. What advice do you have for improving turnout on arabesque?

[@catherinehunt3209]

I feel this so much! I have super thin hair and so many baby hairs

[@juliajensen9346]

Could you make a video on en dehor attitude turns? I just started learning them and they feel a bit awkward right now :)

[@RollOverBeethoven63]

Could you do a video on all the different types of turns? There's are so many and I always get them confused haha

[@randommoments1074]

Hey Katie, can you please do a pas de duex video an advice and such. We don't have boys at my studio so it hard for us.

[@foklore_and_stories]

My dance teacher wants us to do Tombe pas de bourree passe. I am not getting the motion of the plie/releve across the floor. Do you have tips on how to not get two left feet with this combination? thanks so much!

[@natalie8457]

Hi Katie, could you do a video on contretemps and demi contretemps? xx

[@kimberlypowell2798]

Natalie I thought I was the only one who has trouble with this (these)! I've have so many teachers use the terms interchangeably and even after all this time, I'm sill lost.

[@reinettestreasures6198]

Can you do an instructional video covering a whole short solo including how each step leads into each other but also include the history, usual costumes, variations... stuff like that. I hope this makes sense!

[@caitlinlouise3127]

Hi Katie, would you be offer any tips about remembering ballet combos quickly? I always find myself forgetting, and in my next exam I have to perform an unknown piece (one that the examiner will explain to us on the day). Thanks! Xx

[@emailcommunication2226]

Can you please do one on cabriole back?

[@alexanderfadayiro6863]

hi kathryn, I haven't directly commented on vid yet, but I have been a fan of yours for quite a while now, and I honestly believe without your videos, I wouldn't have been able to start my journey to a possible career in dance, at a vocational school, especially as a late starter. I also wanted to ask if you could possibly do one or two videos specially for male dancers. Perhaps you could colab with a male dancer contact? xx

[@lojainnasr3574]

Or even Pas de duex do's and dont's! One half for us female dancers, and another for you guys! One for both! I've seen the ones she does on her commentary videos but I want more :).

[@audreydavidiuk6438]

Question: what equipment are you using these days to record the video and sound?

[@ablalucky2866]

Please can you do a video on how to get a higher demi pointe and a beautiful pointed feet thank uuu

[@reagankilpatrick9778]

very helpful, thank you!!

[@lazarocedeno5270]

Thanks

[@iceydeville]

OMG Love this tutorial! Also loving your leo! What brand is that?

[@sysib2308]

Needed this😍😍

[@kathryn_morgan]

Hope it helps!

[@heavenlyboy34]

AWESOME! Thanks so much! :)

[@PolyglotJ]

Hey, Kathryn! Can you do a video about how to achieve that 90 degrees with your legs? Because I'm kinda rusty. Thank you! I love your videos

[@girlstyle8420]

Hi, I need your advice.. There are not any good ballet schools where I live I have a class 3 times a week what of your videos would you recommend for me to do on a daily basis and also if I do the barre and the center every day by myself would it improve me without a teacher?

[@lojainnasr3574]

You need a teacher. Work hard at whatever studio around you that is the best in the area. WORK hard then audition for a ballet school. Maybe start with a smaller one then go big :).

[@girlstyle8420]

Live on Pointe the problem is that I can't afford a ballet school and my parents aren't supportive... But I'm just gonna keep working hard!

[@stephanielh3395]

I have to do mini ones for Raymonda ❤

[@helenchelmicka3028]

Assemble and double assemble! That's what it's called in Ballanchine, right? I do RAD in the UK ☺ Loving the videos as always!

[@annaballerina7176]

can you please do an updated leotard collection, i know a lot has changed since the last one

[@graceelizabeth6334]

Hey Kathryn! Could you please do a tutorial for light stage makeup? You're makeup videos are very helpful but a little to heavy, (especially the eyes),for when the audience is only a few feet away from the stage. This would be super helpful! Thanks!! :-)

[@kathryn_morgan]

YES! I will do that

[@jodichung]

Lovely outfit Kathryn! Can u do an updated leotard collection? Thanks! 💙❤️💜💙

[@kathryn_morgan]

I will work on it!

[@krazybilly99]

i have trouble with the tombe coupe jete with my back leg. I can easely battemant my back leg at the barre over 90 degrees but it this jump i just cannot lift my back leg. do u have any advice or tips to how I can fix it. (doing la bayadere's male solo variation, so can use any help)^^

[@elsypie9834]

This video helped a lot and now I know what to do, only problem I physically can't do it... problems of sucking.

[@balletdeveloppe9297]

🤩👍🏼 excellent!!!

[@Livelovecherishelife]

I have a question. So about two years ago I broke my right ankle in two places. It happened in September but they didn't catch the break and put a cast on me until November. Since then I'm back dancing and teaching however I still have problems with my right ankle. Particularly when I do plies. It won't give at all. It's almost like it's cemented in place and won't bend so that I can plie properly. Do you have any advice for what could be causing this? What I should do to see if there's anything or anyone that I need to be seeing/doing to loosen it?

[@Ludesto]

You're awesome!

[@evakeller9374]

Hi.. thanks for the great tips. It would be super if you could add slo-mos for technique tips!

[@oakpalaceknight6327]

Please make a video on beats in general.

[@georgina4440]

Que lindo todo, lastima que entiendo poco Ingles.
