VLOGMAS 2021 Day 1 | Nutcracker Prep | Kathryn Morgan

[@kathryn_morgan]

Surprise! Happy Vlogmas!

[@jessicahoehner6715]

Thank you for bringing vlogmas back! These were some of my favorites on your channel!

[@JustMe-qr9jj]

I have a question I hope you will see this! My daughter loves Suffolk, in fact she wears them for audition photos BUT they smoosh her big toe. From top to bottom, not the side. It's so bad that she can't dance in them. Any hints or advice to maybe widen that from part where her big toe is? You look fantastic, happy Nutcracker, my girl is Arabian this year :)

[@alicja6260]

Yay, thank you for Vlogmas! I love your vlogs 🤗

[@kathryn_morgan]

@@JustMe-qr9jj Great question! This simply means they are too flat for her. She needs a higher profile. The Stellars, Sonnets, and Spotlights are very flat, so if she's in one of those, she will need a taller box - solo prequel or Sterlings. I would start there! And if she changes brands - same thing -taller box! For a quick fix, step on the box to loosen it a bit. She just needs more space.

[@JustMe-qr9jj]

@@kathryn_morgan ty! She is in Stellar, will def try the others you suggested.

Hi Katie - today I watched Darcey Bussell do chaine turns while coaching Anna-Rose O’Sullivan (recently promoted to principal at the Royal Ballet), and sat behind Marianela Nunez at lunch and it’s all thanks to you! I have watched your videos for at least 6 years as a non-dancer. Your videos sparked my passion for ballet and 3 weeks ago I moved to London to start a dream job (management/admin) at the Royal Opera House and be so close to these icons. I am living a dream I wouldn’t even have had if it wasn’t for you - and I thought I owed it to you to let you know and say THANK YOU!

[@user-pg3de9qx8d]

Wow, that sounds so surreal!!!

[@ardnas994]

Bought tickets for Mobile show, can't wait to see you after years and years of following this channel. This journey is so unbelievable, from early make up videos to thyroid problems to Miami era, and now this. So happy for you!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Yay! Thank you so much!

[@rosyface_]

It was really nice seeing the students basically staring at you as you danced. You dance beautifully

[@JL-qz1lr]

I was wondering about that...i didnt know if it was rude to do that or just awe...now i realize it was awe so thats cool lol

[@laurene1389]

Oh my goodness those tutus are both so different, but equally breathtaking! I loved watching you take class, thank you for sharing. Will you have anyone recording your guest performances so we can see you perform Sugarplum?

[@kathryn_morgan]

I hope so! I will definitely try!

[@ente150]

those students in Chris' class are so so lucky to have you dance in their class😲 I would literally do ANYTHING to watch you live, even if it's just a barre.

[@suziemccarthy9730]

I actually started tearing up watching you dance at the end there. I am an adult beginner and it's just so incredible to watch you move! I did a little ballet as a child and started again aged 26 because of your videos! Feeling blessed, thank you so much for sharing

[@GGritsun]

Talented, tenacious, brilliant teacher, fabulous communicator, and mesmerising to watch. Katy…you are inspirational

[@kka887]

What a great surprise to wake up to! I love the leg warmers under the warmup pants...smart!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you! And yes- I’m the layer queen. The more the merrier 😂

[@gabymann1615]

I'm so excited that we're getting Vlogmas! I love seeing the true behind the scenes/day in the life of the ballet world. I'd love to see more of you taking class throughout December!

[@joyalways1179]

Looking very strong Katy, remember it’s your beautiful lines and poetic movement we love. Thank you for being you!

[@gabsy6443]

Thank you!!! Looking forward to this. I am actually dancing in a tiny performance this December. It's very simple but I am so happy that all the adults have been given the chance to take part this year. Thank you for all your advice, I am especially applying all the tips you gave us on porte de bras and focus. 😀

[@AnnaAnna-zi8ri]

You’re such a natural, funny and charismatic vlogger! Love to see ur everyday bits...would love morning routines,evening bodycare routines, how u take of your body, how you stay healthy, etc.

[@Chelsea_HHF]

I’m so excited for Vlogmas! Thank you! Can’t wait to hear about your performances went!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thanks Chelsea!

[@emilyadams9986]

I vote for compilations, because I don't want you to HAVE complications; trying to juggle dancing a major role in three consecutive Nutcracker shows with vlogging the process.

[@themaria7]

"I'll show you ALL the Christmas"...Ha, love it!!

[@monogramme3701]

As a ballerina your videos help so much! I’m on pointe and your pointe classes help too! Thank you for making these videos for us!

[@izabellademori9513]

Happy that you are happy and dancing! Looking incredible!! Love from Brazil, you are a inspiration.

[@happycommuter3523]

So happy to see you vlogging again! And dancing! Those tutus are just lovely. It's been too long since we've see you performing. I'm so thrilled you have three Nutcracker gigs this year! Please share as much of those as you possibly can.

[@tawnytuppence5573]

Kathryn, you are absolutely otherworldly here, so ethereal that it almost makes me emotional. I have been following you for years and am just so proud of you and happy you are where you are today. Congratulations on just keeping on going. You inspire every day. 🤎

[@bethanneblack]

It was a fabulous and fun video, Katie! So excited for Vlogmas and wanted to say you look lovely! Thanks to Chris for letting us see him teach, too! ❤️

[@redlantern3371]

So cool that you're dancing with Lucien! I've been watching him for many years in Seattle. You are going to be great together! And in that white and gold tutu! I hope it gets filmed so we are able to see it.

[@rebeccaelliott4261]

I love watching your rehearsals! Thank you for sharing. You’re a beautiful dancer and so inspiring!

[@rastar154]

I also wear suffolks and I get my customs in a few weeks. The longevity of their shoes was a game changer for me. I can usually make a pair last about 3 weeks for me

[@jazmynrose5899]

Wow this is like a Christmas gift!🎄🎁 Thanks Kathryn🩰🌺✨

[@cristinacavalli97]

I remember vlogmas from 4/5 years ago! I loved that you decided to being it back! 🌷❤

[@PoisonedApathy]

Katie's vlogs - always a treat. Thank you so much.

[@Anne-Mirthe]

This was a lot of fun to watch! Great to see you vlogging again! Oh, and I am so in love with those tutus haha. Looking foward to the next days! thank you very much!

[@hmgates81]

IT'S FREAKING VLOGMAS!!!! I could cry I'm so excited.

[@kellym587]

Yayyy! I’m so excited! Thanks for letting us tag along during your December. So happy you’re in the place where you are ready to vlog again! ❤️ Your very first Vlogmas were some of the first videos I watched of yours. You look amazing in the rehearsal clips. 🎄⭐️

[@HoppinglyEverAfter]

Thank you for vlogging for us! ❤ What a wonderful surprise and it's always nice to catch a glimpse into your classes and rehearsals. The Sugar Plum choreography and song looks very challenging and fast to keep up with, but you did it beautifully! I am always amazed when watching you dance and it inspires me to keep practicing. P.s. Gorgeous tutus too! 😍 Hope you have a wonderful December!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!

[@joannaconnolly]

Ahh!! Such a great surprise 😊 Thank you for giving us a peek into what this season is like for you!

[@amandabrame235]

Kathryn! Your videos have helped me a lot this past year! Your feedback as well! I have never auditioned for nutcracker before. Can you make a video giving tips on what to practice before going to your first nutcracker audition please?

[@kathryn_morgan]

I do have a couple videos on auditions, but I could work on an updated one! :)

[@amandabrame235]

@@kathryn_morgan that would be wonderful! If this makes sense I was thinking like different things to do before a nutcracker audition like what steps I should have down and mastered I really appreciate it!

[@blueberrypieology3088]

Yay vlogmas! So happy to see you vlogging again, hope you’ll have fun this vlogmas. Got teary eyed watching you dancing. Thanks for sharing

[@sheelfjohnson]

You are A. Dor. A. Ble. I love a dancer who can make a silly face in between exercises, then look like a queen on the dance floor. Your videos always make me smile.

[@cristinacavalli97]

I really wish I could see you dancing this Christmas! 😭 tooo far away!

[@irishslipjig]

Yay!!! Finally got to watch this. So excited for your vlogmas content!!! Have a great December!

[@allmylovetolongago7605]

That pink tutu is very similar to the one we had for Sugar Plum in my first nutcracker back in the day. Love it!

[@bchough1001]

So glad you're vlogging again! Can't wait to see behind the scenes of your performances and would love to be able to see it, if recorded!

[@cherylkavanagh3387]

Wonderful, Katie! Thank you for sharing!

[@suziqginger]

Would love to see eating/nutrition preparation for class and nutcracker for stamina and what keeps you fueled!! 💜💜💜 so happy you’re doing this!!!!!!

[@kassandra0]

So excited for vlogmas! Vlogs are some of my favorite type of content!

[@chocoholic6611]

Aaahh I remember watching your very first vlogmas and loving it! And now it’s back 🎁😍 been following you since the early days, and seeing you doing well makes me so happy!

[@amandabrame235]

The dance place I was at never offered nutcracker but I’m going to a new studio that does so next year I can audition for nutcracker!

[@dianeintheshire3693]

Gorgeous tutus.Wish we could see you in England.

[@TheHappeningswithHAP]

Love that you feel comfortable vlogging again! Merde for all of your Nutcracker gigs!

[@ericagoehring1089]

That was so fun! I'm excited to see anything you wish to share.

[@emilydeardo2161]

Gorgeous!!! You are such a gorgeous dancer and so inspiring!

[@kkauffman01]

My favorite part was watching you take Chris’ class!

[@brendamiller5785]

Does he ever give you corrections? Lol

[@alyssarosengard6674]

I’d love to see makeup prep for Sugar Plum. Loved watching you dance and take class. Those tutus are amazing.

[@brendamiller5785]

I may have it missed it? I love all of your makeup videos for performances and everyday....but I would love to know what you do to take it off? Makeup remover, cleanser, moisturizer, etc Thank you. PS you are beautiful inside and out.

[@kiraph]

You are dancing beautifully Katie! :) I love seeing you so happy. xo

[@heatherarneson3814]

You are amazing!!! I need to see you dance live someday! Just stunning!

[@ValseTriste17]

I’m so excited for this!!

[@livindiana]

So excited to see you vlogging again!! The vlogs were some of my favorite videos of yours

[@stephiehellyeah2557]

I ADORED THIS! 💖🩰🍬 Kathryn you are such a joy to watch! And thank you for showing us all of your prep. I personally love the behind the scenes of a professional prima! Especially you because of how far you’ve come and the beauty and joy you carry not just in dance but in your life. I am just so happy for you 🥲!

[@garsine]

You're back vlogging, I love it! Would love to see your chrismas decorations. Love from Berlin, Germany

[@glowfishin1]

I was completely astonished with the speed at which you were doing the class exercises. Then I realized I was watching at 1.25 playback speed. Still incredibly impressive but not quite super- human like I thought 😂

[@kathryn_morgan]

Hahaha I love it. That’s amazing

[@meaghan8740]

Oh my gosh!! Yay!! So excited you are doing vlogmas 😀😀😀😀🥰🥰🥰

[@LadyBlack22]

Yay! Vlogmas! So excited to see the rest! How did you set up your phone by the barre? It was like the perfect angle and it didn't fall or anything! And I love the tutus! Thanks for sharing!

[@Amy-gq7ft]

I have missed your vlogs. So excited to watch whenever you will be able to post.

[@thebookwyrmslair6757]

DAMN!!!! YOU WERE SO CLOSE TO ME!! I MISSED IT!! :( BTW, Ballet San Antonio's Sunday matinee was STUNNING.

[@kristiLB93]

This was great! Anything you video for these will be great I'm sure.

[@alexandraeccles8047]

I loved the shall you were wearing in class, where is it from?

[@carolinakalil6475]

im one hundred percent that girl in white that couldnt stop watch you dancing 😅

[@jessijacobs8]

This is such an amazing treat!! Yay!!! 💋🤗🙏

[@etprincipalis]

[@anastasiapywtorak5538]

Yay! So excited for this! =D It would be cool to see some of your meals and how you fuel yourself with so much dancing.

[@MarrLJ]

Thanks Katie, you are the best! So fun to see you take class and prepare for Nutcracker. Those tutu's are amazing :D

[@maylispeuduvallonatik9803]

Great idea!!! Especially in those gloomy days... life is becoming harder and harder here, in Lebanon... Thank God our we left our daughters to study in France, even though it is always hard to be separated from them... Your great videos will make the month easier to spend before we get to celebrate Christmas with them... Nchallah...

[@cocolinabt]

Was it weird at first to take chris‘ class? And does he give you corrections?

[@kaceysmith947]

I love your leg warmers in this video. Where are they from?

[@cristinac.m.523]

Yay! Vlogmas. You have no idea how much I needed this video today. Thank you! Xx

[@ab4th]

How about some tips on getting through day of performance? You've mentioned several things about how to fuel your body & how to keep your mindset on the joy of Nutcracker - but maybe showing how you put these into practice on one of your performance days?

[@alyssylph]

I absolutely adore that pink tutu for Sugarplum! 😍

[@katiesme]

So happy you decided to give us vlogmas!!

[@helenamolina1644]

Love this!!! Please show your preparation before a performance 💕💗

[@jessieborrell1856]

Ahh! I'm so excited you're doing Vlogmas, Katie!

[@isabellajranson7610]

Love these types of video’s!!! Please do more!!

[@tiffanyflammel6053]

I really enjoyed watching you practice, new subscriber, this is my second year on point. I had to be on leave back in mid aug I tore my acl. I still have difficulty in bending my knee into grand plea. It sucks I was hoping to participate in our studios nutcracker play. I'm on the list for next year

[@southernbella8503]

I can't wait to see you perform in Mobile! The minute I saw you'd be performing, I immediately bought all 4 of my sisters tickets to come with me!

[@kathyhartnett1546]

I love those legwarmers, where are they from?

[@hannahkirkpatrick5442]

Thank you for this vlogmas! I have my nutcracker performances next weekend!

[@JudithDeHaven]

I love your legwarmers. Where did you get them?

[@twilightmelfina]

Which version of Sugar Plum are you doing at each of your guest performances? I did see your video of different versions of Sugar Plum, so I’m curious to know which one(s) you will be performing!

[@shelflife5213]

Love the fact that you're doing Vlogmas! Question: how long does a pair of pointe shoes last you these days?

[@lucyfletcher3752]

Yay! So excited for vlogmas! Can't wait for more :-) Also your Sugar Plum looks AMAZING! You're going to do great in your upcoming shows!

[@graceunruh140]

So excited to see you perform in Topeka!!

[@dsswett]

Thank you for volgmas!!! Anything you show

[@carjhb]

What a wonderful surprise! You look so gorgeous! Thanks for the shoe prep and I loved your turns near the end of the first variation! You are so elegant Ms Morgan!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@jeessiicaw]

Yay so happy to see that your vloging again!

[@RomeoNJulietLostTheGame]

I love all of the footage of you during class, if you could do more of that, it would awesome, very inspiring :)

[@cjinpa5713]

Have an amazing time!! Love to see you enjoying your dancing, which is absolutely beautiful and enjoying your life too. You go sugarplum!! 👀🩰❤️

[@TeaLeafNeeka]

Omg I’m so excited! ❤️

[@angelsapphire6088]

Very excited for Vlogmas, can't wait to see more! :)

[@strawberries1186]

You are thriving! 💕💗💓 SO excited to follow this Vlogmas and so mad that I'm in Germany and can't see the Cstat performance!

[@lily_white]

I'd assume changing shoes is good for your feet and whole body because it makes your body work harder when you switch kinda like cross training for your feet?

[@MouseOnMars100]

So amazing to watch, thank you! 🤩

[@gayeponine3223]

Just discovered your channel this week, I love your content and am so excited for vlogmas! 😍
