[@thesofianotes]

*_This has become the Kathryn and Sean Show, and we're loving it!_*

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!!

[@elisabethsmith6591]

I seriously would watch you two every day! When he moved the water bottle out from covering his face but then it covered your face 😂 your comedic timing is gold

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you! I didn’t even know he did that until I was editing! 😂

[@seanrollofson8940]

Haha I didn’t mean to cover you Katie that’s why I moved it again. Can’t cover the star!

“The job is not to spin for Jesus, whack a leg..:” the whole vlog is so funny

[@kmartin5174]

Pure gold! 😂

[@Pluizje1998]

It has been decided, Sean and Katie need their own podcast/craft time! The two of them are so entertaining together! We need an entire series like once upon a pointe 😂 "Whack a leg with Sean and Katie"

[@Poppy-]

I highly second! 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@rachelreiker7228]

3rd!!! Spin for Jesus and wack a leg!

[@FriendlyneighborhoodC8]

Yesssss omg!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@dianea3600]

Please do! Brings back performance memories for meeven though I was far from professional.😉💗

[@kyleewardhaugh7742]

I was a character performer in 2016-2017 in Florida. I was friends with Tinker Bell, it wasn’t as magical as I thought it would be though. Loads of ego, judgment and competition. It was a dream of mine though, after I got injured from ballet when I was 16. I needed a new dream, and Disney was it so I’m thankful for that opportunity! The best thing that came out of it was I met my husband from Scotland, who was also working there! I love your channel, you inspire me so much!

[@dlourdes4743]

I did a Christmas season, competed with over 200 participants, and took one important role, It was amazing, for me the most important is that ballet is about Beauty and being strong and making friends

[@rachelreiker7228]

Sean sayings belong on shirts. 😂 He’s hysterical. Love you both so so so much! Kathryn and Sean show please!!! Thank you for the gift of Vlogmas, it’s a treat!!!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!

[@kaylaj4198]

I saw you at the Saturday show - you were absolutely radiant, Katie! My jaw dropped when you came onstage. Your dancing was so clean, lovely, and exquisite, not to mention your amazing stage presence. I watched your dance videos from your vlog beforehand, but nothing compared to seeing it in person! Wonderful job!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!!! That means the world to me! ❤️

[@lakb45]

Nothing is as better as a live performance. If you ever come to St. Louis, I’m there!

Sean is so freaking gorgeous and of course so are you! He’s so funny and I love watching you two together 🥰🥰🥰

[@buttercupgeorge]

The two of you have such chemistry, I'm loving it! I will have to introduce the plie, tendu, whack-a-leg" to my adult ballet class.

[@clairewaldroup1906]

He totally looks like Prince Phillip!!!! This is one of your best videos Katie!!!

[@whatdoyousuppose]

As a kid in Nutcracker, I remember feeling like I had met my celebrity idol when our principal Sugar Plum first acknowledged me (she had been in Center Stage as well which was my whole world back then)! And then getting to do class on stage with her later on in my time in Nutcracker, my 12 year old self could not fathom it! And to this day she’s maybe the only person in my ballet environment who truly believed in me and advocated for me (and could say my name correctly!), like it meant a lot. We are still connected on social media to this day years after I left ballet. But that’s so true, I truly appreciated the principals and senior members of the company giving little me the time of day and I’m so glad you were able to be that role model interacting with young dancers - truly means the world to a young dancer, take it from my younger self!

[@catalinacruz7801]

Wait, which person from Center Stage? I was obsessed with that movie.

[@Poppy-]

"Am I the drama?" 😹 Katie, you have to do it now. Thanks to both of you for that BTS. Love it.

[@graceunruh140]

You two are a crack-up! I definitely know people who do plie - tendu - whack-a-leg for their warmup, but I've never heard someone describe it so well! Also, I'm from KS and it is very dry in the winter, but so humid in the summer - that's the Midwest for you! Thanks for making me laugh this morning!

[@dancingnature]

Plié , tendu , whack a leg Guilty! And I’m old enough ( 67) to know better but it works !

[@bignlilshmoo]

Man, I just can't stop laughing. ..🤣🤣🤣...SO funny!!! Between the -'tippy-toe shoes' in the last vlog, the call-back with forgetting your ice skates,, spin for Jesus, whack a leg and the Zamboni skipping a night... phew I can't breathe from laughing 😂 I needed that! Thank you! This time of year (and today in particular) marks so much loss for me. Plus, I just found out that I for sure have Hashimoto's - after pleading for help and my symptoms being overlooked for so long. And now trying to find the person willing to treat it in a more rounded way than just T4...sigh. You are truly inspiring and so beautiful to watch, Katie! I was also friends with an actress/dancer a loooong time ago that had been hired to play Cruella De Vil on the cruise ship. I do remember her having to wear just the right shoes to qualify for the height to be cast - she was like 1/4" too tall, but they ok'd it.. She did the parades in like Chicago and other big cities before the cruise. I don't know if she continued after the first 6-8 month contract bc I moved away shortly thereafter and we lost touch. I just remember her having a heck of a time adapting to the tight crew quarters and needing sea legs.

[@cassie9169]

Our sugarplum fairy when I was a kid read us the entire first Harry Potter book backstage throughout all the rehearsals and waiting around time.

[@electriclllady]

The second I saw Sean I immediately said to myself 'Oh my gosh it's Phillip' - seriously you're the perfect live action Phillip ! The second thing I said was- and that's the most perfect hair I've ever seen- you have the perfect thick hair to create that perfect hair style- And then you said that you were aiming for "the classic prince Eric swoop" (in the other video) and I was like - Yes. He gets it. I like him even more now. Disney love is so pure- and it just makes me like you two even more!!!! And when you think about it- the original traditionally animated Disney princess films are actually very balletic - Tchaikovsky inspired, I think all live action Disney films now should have professional ballet dancers in those roles because the poise and grace of movement and musicality in ballet is the poise and grace of movement that those original films were inspired by, and that they have. Its part of the beautiful, seamless magic. They are fairytales and they exist in a transcendent way within the cultural imagination. So the poise and grace of ballet is what inspired Walt himself when he chose the best way in which to present these fairytales within his films, and that is the wistful, breathtaking beauty and enchantment of them. I think Kenneth Brannagh managed to capture the wistful beauty and grace of this in Cinderella, but the rest of them didnt seem to understand that that is an essential part of them, and so they missed the mark on that transcendent fairytale quality. They would definitely have benefited from that Romantic, wistful, transcendant balletic quality and musicality. So I've just decided by myself hehe, you two need to be the next live action Disney Princess and Prince 😘 You'd be perfect. Kathryn you would be a perfect Snow White , Sean could literally play either ( or both just go for it) Prince Eric or Prince Phillip- you look like a mixture of both, just slightly leaning towards Phillip bc of your colourings . I don't know if there are Disney ballets but there should be - ballets based on the actual traditional Disney films - you would both be perfect for that. I somehow want to make that happen.

[@AuntieM143]

Y’all are hilarious together!!! Love it!!! Y’all definitely need a show together!!!

[@katieasammy]

"I barely got through ballet with smoke and beers..." sean you're an icon🤣🤣

[@BlackThorndRose]

Shenanigans with Katie and Sean, podcast style!👌🏼 PS. There better be a ratted up t-shirt coming out in merch soon.🤣

[@kathryn_morgan]

Agreed! And thank you!

[@FriendlyneighborhoodC8]

Yes please 🤣🤣🤣 Two shirt options: “wack a leg” and “spin for Jesus” 🤣🤣🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@colleenm9188]

This is just wonderful. Sean is just adorably priceless with his comments. Katie is just beautiful... and you both are so very responsible for doing the right thing in distancing. Thanks for a very entertaining vlog!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jessieborrell1856]

Sean is hilarious LOL I'm jealous of how perfect his hair looks. Disney prince is a very accurate description haha. It's been super dry where I live in Washington, too, which is a bit out of the norm. Normally it's pretty humid here. My poor skin and lips have been so dry. I slathered on lip balm and it just sucked it all up instantly haha

[@whatdoyousuppose]

As someone currently in callbacks for a Disney Princess contract abroad (!!!!!) I was LIIIIVIIIIIING for your Disney face character conversation!! bc I am that girl who watches the Disney Auditions website like a hawk & i also love Fantasmic!!! 😍👑🏰 those they only do internal auditions for Fantasmic nowadays, I still dream of flipping my fins with Ariel in that show 🧜🏻‍♀️ we’ll see how my callback goes 👀 also my dream role in Fantasmic would’ve been Mickey however I’m far too tall but I still taught myself his choreo 😂

[@margaretblount4794]

"I'm a character"... I feel like that might have been an understatement 🤣 Sean is great!

[@poppoppop1617]

What I would’nt do to have “plie, tendu, whack a leg” on a shirt 😂😂😂💕💕💕

[@alyssamarie9380]

So Sean and Kathryn… I am the ultimate Disney nerd my parents both worked and met working at Disneyland for 25 years. I spent my whole life at Disneyland and even worked at Disneyland for 2.5 years. I danced everything not just ballet until I was 15 and sadly had to stop due to injury and money because I was also in choir. I wanted to study music so I stopped dancing. It’s hilarious to me watching you mention Disney being your secret fandom and wanting to play prince Eric. I have always wanted to dance in a Disneyland parade.

[@alyssamarie9380]

I’ve never been a character. However, my mother was a seamstress for Disney and when I was little I was able to sit through auditions and watch her measure the dancers and characters. She made everything including character Costumes. If you do ever decide to audition Sean or Morgan smile like crazy!

[@happycommuter3523]

Hilarious, and great job! Three weekend performances in a row, in three different states, can’t have been easy.

[@alyssarosengard6674]

Hi! Love this blog. I was laughing along with you and Sean. Wanted to let you know my mouth biopsy was benign. I just found out today. I had to have my mouth lanced again due to the swelling but am hoping to be able to make it to Christmas with my family. Thanks for keeping me going through this ordeal and reminding me we heal and persevere. Have a happy holiday season to you, your fiancé and your family and pups.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Yay! So glad to hear that! I hope you keep feeling better! Much much love!

[@carolclaibornemumey8919]

"Where's the city-wide humidifier?"🤣🤣 OMG we need one of those for sure up here in Alberta!!

I didn't know Sean was in Flesh and Bone! I'm going to have to re-watch and look for him!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Oh yes!

[@irishslipjig]

OMGoodness now all the puzzle pieces came together about Sean!!!! The Kennedy Center night!!!! That was still so much fun. Also yes Sean would be an awesome KZbinr!!!!

[@janetg.]

My nephew's sister in law was Cinderella for many years in Florida. She loved it when she did it, had certain rules she had to follow and the sun was very difficult to handle in costume and makeup some days. She doesn't talk about it and when you ask her about it, she dismisses the questions easily and just smiles. The only thing she ever told me was when you go there with school age kids, always meet at the entrance if you get lost and tell an employee... meaning have the same meeting/exit point. She also said they have an entire police department underground so a lot of the "scary" news never gets to the public. Spin for Jesus, whack a leg.... priceless! So funny! You two really need a podcast!

[@zsofiastrbka2030]

My new favourite show, love u guys💕💕

[@robynthompson412]

I would love to work for Disney. I've auditions a few times. Y'all need to do more vlogs together!!!!

[@Legittoquit1]

Omg wack a leg ! Hilarious! So adorbs

You two! 😂🤣🤣🤣 Please do a pod, or a KZbin together regularly if that is even possible. “Hot glueing mesh with Kathryn & Sean!” 😂

As a Wisconsin resident, I was tickled by the pronunciation of Manitowoc.

[@lyndsae77]

Do company members ever get jealous or resentful when guests come in to perform a lead role?

[@angelsapphire6088]

Yay your finally on Tik Tok!!!! Also, wanted to let you know I got brave and asked my teacher who teaches the adult class at the local school near me if I can try doing pointe. So they may be able to have a class set up after I get off of work I can actually take :D. If they can't - hey totally fine I love dancing anyway, but hopefully it'll work out. I just want to say thank you

[@meganjordan8553]

I have really enjoyed these vlogs!! Merry Christmas!

[@Katie_Jo_21]

Wait what?! What?! Your Sean is THE Sean from Flesh and Bone?! I was so obsessed with each story line that I’d cry after each episode. (Such great script). My mom who was not into dark suspense became super into the show too. Man it was so great. ❤️ Going full fan girl 👧 😂

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

This blog is so much fun! Thank you Katie and Sean! xxxxxxxxxx

[@thenappyewe]

Okay, first we should all post a video of that barre combination: plie’, tendu’, whack a leg! Classic. Also…..”spin for Jesus” along with “whack a leg” MUST become part of the English lexicon….NOW! I LOVE THE TWO OF YOU. MERDE’!

[@emiliaadamo1261]

Y’all need a podcast!!! What a duo ahaha ♥️

Haha thank you!

[@two_faced31]

"My goal is to look like Prince Phillip..." DEAD. Prince Phillip is hands down my favorite Disney Prince besides Cinderella's. FLAT out exact look-alike to the scary-realness. "What Child-hood did you have?" --> Me every time I talk with someone who never grew up on Disney Classics

Katie, a dry shampoo should help make your hair more manageable when you put it up so you're notfighting your smooth silky hair.

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Katie please get the Seanisms on t-shirts! Plie Tendu Whack a Leg - I would so rock that!

[@balletmeli]

One of my first nutcracker I performed I was 12 years old at that time; and the guest principal dancer would not engage with the students.. I remember standing outside of the dressing room awaiting for the autograph and I never got it not a happy moment. However, for future nutcrackers the guest principal dancers were 😎 😊

[@nessagirl1911]

I just rewatched this and now I can't get this image out of my head where the two of you sit around talking all things ballet and life while bedazzling pointe shoes and t-shirts.....

Oh god... nothing worse than when the stage is slippery AF! Maybe the dryness in the air made the floor worse? Thanks for another entertaining vlog featuring Mr Rolllofson (AKA Mr Disney Prince). :)

[@carlycoppi4769]

How tall do you have to be to be a ballerina? I danced my whole life and am only 5’2 so I know that’s way too short lol!

Yo, cold marshmallow/linden tea will hydrate you very nicely if you're drinking water and it isn't sticking. You can usually get the linden at a Latinx grocery store and marshmallow leaf at a middle eastern grocery store. Steep in cold water for 20 min and you're good to go.

[@jadejirim]

Tell Sean he needs his own chanel he's so funny

[@amygirl1983]

I think the Disney princess channel you were thinking of might have been Jennifer Oakes. She was Jasmine and Pocahontas.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Yes! That’s it!

[@ReeLuvsWicked]

I was thinking the same but couldn’t remember her name!! I loved her channel years ago, her friend who also was Snow White used to do videos with her too!

[@cay4him1]

Sean is a 50/50 of looking like Philip from disney animation of slepping beauty.

[@katherine964]

Yay!

[@emilyadams9986]

I'm not a dancer, so I could be wrong, but when Sean said "whack a leg," was he really talking about battements? Also, I can understand how it'd be hard to balance being friendly and interacting with the dancers from the studio that's hosting you, with being safe and staying in your COVID bubble, because you can't stay entirely in the bubble, because you have ensemble dancers dancing all around you while you're dancing the principal roles. Another challenge would be if there are children in the show, playing children's roles (like the mice, for example), who might not yet be fully vaccinated. Even if you do everything right, there's probably that fear of, say, "what if the mice have class after us, and the person who cleaned the studio missed a spot, and one of the kids touched the barre in the same place that we did?" But, I'm happy for you that you still got to do this, because maintaining Christmas traditions like the Nutcracker is so good for people's morale and mental health, whether they're dancing in the show, or seeing it--not to mention that, for professional dancers, missing out on Nutcracker season could hurt you financially.

[@Dontlicktheballoons]

Sean, any chance you'll do a collab in the future for male variations? merde

[@neengreen6122]

As someone who just started making KZbin videos (and as an actor who has had to self-tape for almost two years now lol), I actually prefer to film and edit myself because I feel weird talking to a camera with other people around!

[@neengreen6122]

Speaking of Disney nerds, one of my closest friends has been to Disney over 50 times. He's the best person to go to when it comes to Disney trips and knowledge

Girl, you’re a better woman than I am. If I punched in 2 minutes early for work, I was early. I was fortunate, though; had very few emergencies that made me late and we did have a grace period that they let us use as long as we didn’t abuse.
