VLOGMAS 2021 Day 2&3 | First Sugarplum in 6 Years | Hair Tips | Kathryn Morgan

[@Pluizje1998]

I remember that Sugarplum vlog 5-6 years ago, I felt so bad for you. I did not understand how people could be so cruel. All I could see was how amazing you were dancing Sugarplum! But 6 years later here we are. Seeing you vlogging again and being back on stage, that is amazing! Let's make happy Sugarplum memories this year! Also, don't forget to buy new hairnets!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much! And thank you for the hairnet reminder!

[@sarahbeth3472]

I was watching back then as well. I was so upset seeing those comments from people. And look at you! The greatest way to prove people wrong. You are amazing, Katie! ❤

[@happycommuter3523]

I remember that, too. My heart broke.

[@lizzynygaard2128]

its nice to encourage her dancing, how nice.

[@theredderthebetter1]

I have always loved your stage makeup. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ardnas994]

I love how relaxed you are. I remember old vlogs where even though it was fun, I could tell that you weren't 100% comfortable. Your get ready with me chit chats from the dress room are pure gold! And yeah, I remember the Nutcracker from like 5 years ago, and I wish that I could go back in time to show you this video and how things will change for the better (especially when I recall certain tears). And no, maybe you were a bit heavier then, but all I remember from that footage is talent and grace, nobody who truly cared about ballet and artisty thought anything about your weight. Anyway, keep this vlogs coming, they're highly appreciated.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much Sandra. Your comment made my day. I truly appreciate it. ❤️

[@kristenrodgers6292]

I'm one of your KZbin class students, and I saw you at the matinee this afternoon at College Station. You were sublime. My eyes were stinging during the pas de deux- it was that good. I quit dancing 17 years ago and just picked it up again with your classes in April 2021, and I just wanted to thank you for bringing the joy of ballet back into my life.

[@biastephenson4111]

You are amazing. In all ways, but right now I'm thinking of how you post a vlog during a 3-show weekend, out of town, while dancing with a brand-new partner. I stopped by your channel just in case, telling myself that there's no way you'd have a video up and that it would be unreasonable to expect it, just to find one half an hour from going live. Thank you for truly bringing us along with you!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Awww it’s my pleasure! It’s a joy for me. ❤️

[@sheifaakra3018]

I'm actually tearing up watching your vlogs. I've been following your channel for years, probably close to 8 years now and the difference in you is amazing. I feel so so happy to have followed your journey and to see you back in stage and doing things with your career that a few years ago you wouldn't have thought possible makes me believe in miracles and there being a light at the end of every tunnel. You astound me every video with the light in your eyes and I wish for nothing but more success in your future. Lots of love from the Middle East ❤

[@moondustangel889]

I was so honoured and delighted you took us with you. I loved seeing how you get ready too. Good luck with your performance. Beautiful as always. x

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!

[@carolynyoung991]

I never comment on KZbin videos but I feel like I have to on this one. I was at this show, and messy is the last word I'd use to describe your dancing! And I'm a dancer, it's not like I'm an untrained eye saying that. Your performance was absolutely breathtaking, and getting to see you perform live was a dream come true. Watching you dance made me fall in ballet all over again. You should be proud of that performance and everything it represented. Much love!

[@Sage.elaine]

I'm gonna be honest, I teared up a little when it cut to you on stage. As someone who started ballet as an adult and is healing from chronic illness, it was so encouraging to see that this is possible and that this is something I could do if I am willing to work hard enough 💗

[@theempress1104]

You really inspired me when you said that "It gets better guys so hang in there."...thank you for those words. Sometimes people need to hear it when they're not in an ideal place in their life. We love you Katie! ❤️

[@lilyslater8480]

High bun. I'm no longer a dancer-my studio was toxic, so I left after 8th grade. But still to this day, I do buns on the crown of my head. My hair is so long (past my natural waist) that a low bun doesn't fit. The lowest I can do is a center. And gosh, that tiara is GORGEOUS. I'm madrigal queen this year, and I can't tell you how amazing I feel in my crown. I'm sure you can relate, but I just feel so regal. Love you so much, and I'm so happy for you!🌹⚘ And that bald spot trick! Genius, I'm losing my hair at 18, and will definitely be trying that. Thank you, I love you, and good luck on your return to sugar plum!

[@bethanneblack]

Katie, I am beyond proud of every single accomplishment that you have shared with us over the years. But what stands out to me the most is your comment about where you were 5 years ago. You are SO much healthier and more mentally prepared now. You pushed through and persevered and now you are stronger and happier and it shows. Thank you so much for sharing this special journey with all of us. You are so generous with your time and your insights. I’m sure your solo was fabulous! 💜

[@dianea3600]

Katie, You are so inspiring and encouraging for so many dancers. Plz know you are a beautiful person who has a beautiful asthetic a beautiful line and I could never have hoped to have performed or danced like you. I had one of those bodies that could never dance despite attending Al School of Fine Arts in 1980's. Period. No matter how much I stretched it never helped my arabesque. Had very large bunions and flat feet with no insteps. The list of issues goes on... Bulemia parties..starving myself... Nothing i did including the 200 butt rolls, sitting on my feet in an arched position and sleeping in splits for couple hrs every night after 2nd ballet class of the day would help me. It (dance) just wasn't to be for me. I regret trying to force my square peg into a round hole for rhe 1st 25 years of my life. I did somehow get a scholarship with Alphonzo Cata and Erik Bruhn while at University in Texas (after I officially gave up dance as a dream career option to my parents). I knew i wasn't going to make it but wasnt exactly ready to give up my dance body so I happily kept taking dance classes for exercise at Uni. Looking back, it all worked out as I ended up a Registered nurse for 30 years! I'm absolutely sure your solo was beautiful so don't be sad because it's so not about perfection. It's more about the overall beauty of the person doing the movement!😉😊💗

[@wooot24]

I remember that Nutcracker 6 years ago. That was real. I’m so proud of how far you have come. I love you and don’t forget to buy new hair nets.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!

[@mothball5425]

I've never appreciated the performing arts as much as now, you give life ❤️

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@LisaMichele]

Kathryn, I've followed you from the beginning of your youtube journey (since your makeup tutorials!) and it's so amazing to see how far you come and where you are now. It really brings so much joy to see you. Your dancing in the first episode of vlogmas was the best you've danced in years. It's so great to see you at your peak!

[@gritxx]

It’s the 4th today, and I’m coming to see you at 2 pm!!! I have been following you for over 5 years, but I have never been able to get the opportunity to come see you! When you announced it on day one, I almost spit out my lunch (tmi). There is no way I’m gonna miss this!!!!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Yay! Thank you so much!

[@lesliecastro2548]

I've been watching you since your character make up tutorials. Your metamorphosis has been incredible! You now radiate calmness, serenity, and security. You seem so at peace with yourself and that shot of you onstage was STUNNING. As a fellow artist who just went through a nasty break-up and deals with chronic physical illnesses/disabilities, you are so inspirational. Keep holding your head up Katie 🤍

[@S1830367]

I was actually more of a high bun person back in my nutcracker days, but I don’t do performances anymore and I cut my hair hella short about 4 years ago so I’m a no bun person now 😅 But love your high bun + tiara look Katie, it’s gorgeous!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you! And I totally get it

[@balletmeli]

@stephaniewottrich I also have short hair for many years no bun. My bun was center neither high or low.

[@amygirl1983]

I’ve watched you since your first leotard video…about 7 years? I don’t dance but I sure do appreciate it as an art form. You have grown and changed and are such a woman of grace and poise. A wonderful role model for young people.

[@paulinaobriggs8158]

I remember your nutcracker videos 5 years ago! I’ve been admiring you ever since. You are AMAZING and smart and kind and on top of that a gorgeous dancer. Thanks for doing vlogmas. Loveyou

[@LauraFlan11]

Love your candid/honest moments in these vlogs. Like the hairnet color oops, but then how easily you laughed at yourself and brushed it off. You could've edited that out but instead you're not trying to hide your little flaws or missteps. Thanks for being "real"

[@Budscer]

Kathryn: “Who wakes up looking glorious?” Me: “Um, YOU Queen! Your skin is glowing and perfect. We love you, thanks for keeping it real. 🥰🥰”

[@DestinyHopeLou]

Her skin is amazing!!!

[@rebeccaelliott4261]

Certainly not me 😅

[@Englishmuffins4lifer]

We are curently working on nutcracker right now and I just can't get party seen music out of my head

[@balletlau]

This is beautiful. I have been watching you for many years now and I am thrilled to see you happy and dancing. I was so angry with those commenters years ago. You are so strong. I would love some more make up tutorials if you ever have the chance - I loved the character based ones for stage and then everyday. I have so been enjoying the different barres you have been posting recently too.

[@biologynerd3]

How cool that you take class with the company beforehand too! That seems like a really great way to build rapport and connect with everyone you’ll be performing with before the show.

[@christievozniak9717]

You did it!! Congratulations! I’m sure the audience loved watching you on stage. Sometimes the things we are most critical of ourselves over, the audience doesn’t even notice or place a value to. Often, we beat ourselves up for not living up to the standard/idea of the performance that we have for ourselves, but in reality all we really need to do is be ourselves for the audience. It’s kind of the difference between art as a product and art as a service. We worry about the perfection of the product, when really the audience just wants to be entertained and by you simply stepping out on stage, you’ve done more than enough. I guess what I mean is I hope you feel proud, even if the solo tempo wasn’t as expected ❤️

[@Amy-gq7ft]

That tiara is just perfection. You look beautiful, and your dancing in the short clip was lovely.

[@martyjones5750]

My dear Katie.. no words.. you have moved through these years with so much positivity, grace, love, and humor!! You are a real Pro, a true professional from crown tip to pointe shoes! I love how you help everyone..have fun, soak it all in.. this is amazing!!🤸🥰❤️

[@maureenseel118]

I remember six years ago...I cried at how upset you were and how hurtful the comments were to you. I was struggling myself with body image at the time and in recovery from an eating disorder. You're incredible and your journey has been a joy to watch. I'm so happy you're doing Vlogmas!

[@GhislaineBeauce]

That high bun you did was lovely! Lots of love XX And remember to get new hair nets!

[@gaytrepagnier4098]

You have and always will be an inspiration to me and many others. The way you have handled the adversity and obstacles in your life is just outstanding! Six years ago those people who were cruel made me so angry for you but her we are six years later slaying it! You are adorable!

[@maeddeltalina6287]

We love and admire you. You are so amazing and brave to share this first performance with us and then self critique to boot. You ARE too hard on yourself. So apreciate your insights and allowing us a glimpse into your dancer life.

[@raegan3215]

I cried like a baby--been here since those awful sugarplum comments 6 years ago. I just have to say, it's been so inspiring watching you find your wings again!!! After leaving ballet for a year myself and coming back to be a dance teacher, I find so much inspiration from your story. You are a legend, Katie!!!!

[@Heartbreaker1999-o5s]

Dear Katie, this video was truly inspirational to me. Knowing your story and witnessing you follow your dreams again has made emotions stir in me that I cannot even begin to explain. I too was a dancer from a young age but unfortunately had something occure which effected my mental and physical health a few yrs ago. I haven't danced in 3.5 years, and have not been able to let go of the unfinished business I missed completing during my time training as a professional. I'm 22 now, and your story has given me the courage to go back to the ballet world and follow my heart xx thank you xxxxx

[@sjester9]

Watching this after a day of two performances being in the party scene, so hearing the music for that part in the background is tripping me out. Still thinking of all my cues.

[@vivellaz]

I have been watching your channel for years even though I do not dance. I love your channel, how you dance, and just your authenticity. You are a joy and thank you for sharing. Love from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@xUhMayZhingx]

Oh Kathryn I remember that vlog from 6 years back! I remember my heart breaking for you; people are disgusting when it comes to judging other peoples bodies. I’m glad you’re in a much better place mentally because that’s all that matters ♥️

[@TheHappeningswithHAP]

I remember your Nutcracker vlog years ago and like the other comments what stood out to me then was your beautiful artistry. But what is better now is that you are so clearly thriving! You have your channel, you get to enjoy teaching/inspiring, you are dancing again in positive environments and you get to share all that with a wonderful partner! Yas Queen!!

[@carlycoppi4769]

I think your hair looks amazing I can’t tell it’s lighter!!! I just found your channel so stoked and excited!! I used to dance growing up into college and I miss it so much!!

[@AnnaAnna-zi8ri]

I love these real, candid vlogs and getting to see you dance, get ready, travel, etc! Omg I love a high bun!...something about it makes it feel easier to elongate neck and feel more balanced

[@sopranosd]

I love your videos. You have so many interesting experiences to share, and you are so nice. I love your humor, vulnerability and intelligence. And by the way you do your makeup very well but you also don’t need it. You look great barefaced.

[@wearethelarosas6395]

Oh, Kathryn! Thank you for so much for sharing! I have been following you for years and I appreciate the struggle! Only YOU know the bobbles - Cannot WAIT to see you perform tonight! On our way from Austin! Break a Leg! 🥰😘💕 Enjoy every minute!

[@CynfulExotics]

You got the tickets! You'll enjoy the show. Wish I could have gone to all three performances. She was amazing. "Messy" or not the audience didn't notice. She looked and danced like perfection!

[@wearethelarosas6395]

Beautiful Performance! 🥰🩰👸👑🤴Brava! 💕 👏 Sparkled like a true Gem! 💎

[@Fairly-odd-kel]

Thank you for still doing these, you're so accomplished, it's so nice that you still do KZbin, much love ❤️

[@kathryn_morgan]

My pleasure! And thank you!

[@kipklop975]

I can't believe that sugarplum show was 6 years ago! I loved following your vlogmas then and you danced really well. There was a clip of you dancing the coda and turning until your skirt fell off during rehearsal or something hahaha the look on your partner's face was hilarious. You have come so far and I'm so proud of you! Looking forward to much more ahead of you 😊 you're beautiful, and a beautiful dancer.

[@loalexandre]

I’ve been following you since 5/6 years now, I’m so proud of what you have achieved. Good luck for Nutcracker season, you rock !!!!

[@JessicaMusser]

You are such a beautiful dancer and strong woman! I’m so happy I have been able to watch your journey back to the stage!

[@JL-qz1lr]

THIS MADE MY DAY!! These backstage vlogs are AMAZING and MUCH APPRECIATED!! Supporting you all the way and congrats for your first Sugarplum in 6 years, you deserve it!

[@rhodaandrews9306]

Kathryn I have been following you for years, and I am so proud of where you’ve been and come through.

[@brendastevens9077]

I was crying with so much joy, to see even a piece of your performance on stage. The genuine smile you had while being on stage, touched my heart. Brings back memories when I would be on stage doing ballet. Loved it, and You. Super Proud of You.😊❤

[@MarieClaude]

6 years ago, 6 months ago, 6 days ago: You’re an inspiration. Of course you’re beautiful but your grit, skills and determination are what make you shine!

[@lezachary5678]

This is my favorite vlogmas this year! I’m so glad you decided to do it! I’m so invested in your journey and watching you get ready reminded me of your young self! Keep up being awesome!!

[@emilyadams9986]

I bet the people in the audience couldn't tell that anything went wrong with your Sugarplum solo. What matters is that you kept dancing. :)

[@chxmpagneproblems]

so excited for this series!! i’m not really a bun person though, french twists are my go to. when i started ballet, my hair was too short for a bun but i managed to make the twist work and it’s stuck with me since

[@balletmeli]

I remember when I did 🩰 yes the music would play in the dressing rooms. I am glad you are happy.

[@DancingFlicka]

I was a high bun person from 1st grade until about a year ago. Senior now. Now I am definitely team low bun!

[@lucyshaffer3330]

the nutcracker music in the background is like ✨anxiety✨

[@kathryn_morgan]

TOTALLY

[@katieasammy]

Lmbo right

[@katereinsch4789]

Thank your for being so open and honest. It's a pleasure to watch you and it's soooooo good to see where you are now!!! Huge congratulations!!!

[@jengirl2]

Love this candid behind-the-scenes vlog. Thanks for bringing us along and merde for all of your shows!

[@danapolonsky7685]

Ok so gotta say, I totally love you! I stumbled onto your youtube page years ago when looking for hair and headpiece tips for my dancer (11 at the time). While I was a competitive figure skater for years and things are similar, my daughter is a competitive dancer and I have continued to look to your good counsel and now subscribe to your channel (also advising my now 15 year old to follow suit). First of all the Clif Bar Duos were DEVOURED by both my dancer girl and her swimmer sister. Amazing call, totally going to get them again. Thank you for that suggestion. Second, the Ice Bath - the fact you hate it, the fact you recommend it and the fact that I (now a competitive triathlete) know it works. I love your honesty, your candor and your videos. Thank you for all that you do for the dance (and mom of dance) community. Merry Nutcracker season.

[@anab.3191]

I remember that Nutcracker. I was very sad because people were so mean. I'm still following you, and I'm not a dancer at all. I wish you all the best.

[@annadenys127]

Ugh, I remember that vlog

[@desertrose3511]

I’m definitely a low bun person. For performances we have a uniform middle bun, straight back from the top of the ear.

[@colleenm9188]

Love your vlogs, and loved this one because you shared so much. I'm sure you are your harshest critic, regarding your solo. Oh one thing, you look beautiful without makeup, so fresh and lovely. Loved your hair "tutorial" and the crown/tiara test. Very useful stuff for all who wear tiaras! Thanks so much.

[@katywelch-young6695]

Congratulations on your first Nutcracker in so long! I'm more of a low bun person for class and in my regular life, but I have my high bun "system" so perfected, I can still do it in my sleep!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Love it! And thank you!

[@ericagoehring1089]

I was watching you way back when! You were an amazing person and a wonderful dance then. But I am so happy that you feel healthier now.

[@lolaescorsa4970]

Soooo happy for you and amazing seeing you back on vlogging and most importantly on stage ! Doing what you do takes immense courage. You're a true inspiration, and I'm sure you were amazing :) :)

[@saras11911]

Always, Kathryn. Love the raw footage at the theatre.

[@nicolahodges8547]

I love Katie Morgan; she’s so real about life as a ballet 💃 dancer x

[@BlackThorndRose]

You are amazing! Documenting and sharing your journey, the challenges you’ve been through and to watch your comeback has truly been such an inspiration to watch. You always seem to be in good spirits now, and as you said mental health is so important. I’m just so thankful for your content!🌟

[@mermaidopulence8539]

So I dance with the School of Ballet Indiana and their production part of the studio is Ballet Indiana and I was one of the parents in the party scene and I was the makeup artist for Mother Ginger

[@Hans6789-j9t]

I so remember ( long before you were even born ) our beautiful sugar Melissa podcasy coming off stage right after her solo screaming ‘what is trying to do to me 😂😂😂 it was so slow ❤

[@RomySews]

Here’s an idea, wear the tutu onto the plane then take it off and put it in another bag 😆

[@dlourdes4743]

I am so happy you did this, going back to Nutcracker, I missed watching these videos because it was still COVID, I was working in the COVID units, and had just moved to OHIO. 2022 it was very busy as well, finally I can enjoy your performances, you look perfect ballet body, after so much suffering...

[@rastar154]

I’m a high bun person! I look better with low but I can never get it to stay in a low bun! Also right with you with keeping the monitor on! I like to know everything.

[@Sleepless_Chaos]

Honestly I am so glad you have a real ballet world channel. I'm not a dancer, never have been, but I've always been fascinated by the ballet world. You've been an incredible resource for other great things like performance advice, body image, personal growth, perseverance, dedication, self-worth and self-value. I'm excited to follow you through vlogmas. Glad to see you back on a stage and loving it. Thank you!

[@culbycove4963]

I’m so glad I discovered your channel. I’m not a dancer, but I play violin and grew up in the orchestra playing Tchaikovsky, and I think I came across your videos about four or five years ago looking at behind the scenes content about The Nutcracker. I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for the music and ballet hearing your perspective as a dancer. Thanks for the consistent honesty and insight. Also get more hairnets.

[@dsswett]

I am so happy for you that you get to do this makes me cry you’ve been through so much and I’m really excited for you

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Katie cariad, you’re a superstar! You’ve shown the ballet “establishment”that they were so wrong to write you off. I just wish I could fly over to watch you this season xxxxxxxxxxx

[@lalalaloey]

I remember the Nutcracker 6 years ago. The mean comments were horrid!! So glad you didn’t give up…you persevered! So proud of you…YOU OVERCAME them. So happy for you Katie! You’re a rockstar ❤️

[@awwpaw4797]

If they will ever do a movie or even ballet about Vivien Leigh You are the one to pick up for that role :) Beautiful and eloquent , vivid , dynamic, lively YOU! Thank You so much! (You d suggest to one compośer to make music for You Vivien Leigh ballet - Gone with the wind 2.0)

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!

[@ente150]

I love these vlogs because they make me so excited as if I'm the one about to go on stage and also because they're so real. ❤️ also, another reminder for you about the hairnet 😂

[@elizabethann5308]

I have dreams of getting back into dance as an adult. I am considering volunteering as an extra for my ballet studios recital in the spring. They are doing Cinderella. This is so fun to watch you get back into nutcracker. I was getting nervous excited for you when you were in the dressing room saying that you needed to get dressed.

[@jankoraven]

Katie, you are looking positively magical. It's so clear how happy you are to be on stage and you so deserve it!! You are so gorgeous and I can't wait to see more footage of you dancing. You're just sparkling! (and so is your makeup, it's SO pretty) I'm always a low bun person, high buns and ponytails always give me a headache.

[@emmasapp7224]

You are such a beautiful person and dancer. I look up to you so much and thank you so much for inspiring me and making me see that I need to take care of myself too.

[@Jay-dz1qy]

I'm so proud of you! Also, low bun for the win 😊

[@Walkinthewoods-u2q]

You’re an inspiration Katie! I’ve followed you since 2016 and you have given your followers invaluable advice, support and inspiration since the beginning. So happy for this milestone for you!✨

[@aliciadennis3236]

Oh my goodness!!!! So great to see you back at what you love and looking so beautiful and happy and healthy!! You are so incredibly brave and I’m so proud of you!!!!!

[@laurabrownmckenzie]

I have followed you for so long now but have never commented. I am so happy for you. I am so proud of you.

[@cristinac.m.523]

This was so great!! I just love the behind-the-scenes :) I remember that video you made 6 years ago - I think I cried with you! You've come so far and we are all so proud of you. Love you!

[@rebeccawraight4055]

You are amazing. I’m so glad to see you back dancing on stage xx one of my biggest inspirations!

[@claireeebee]

I think you were one of the first channels I subscribed to in maybe 2015? It's been a while! I didn't realize people were giving you such a bad time 5 years ago. That makes me sad. I certainly hope that got better! You're amazing and truly a joy to follow! I did notice your dislikes were always around a certain number, so I always viewed that as you had some dedicated haters that just like to dislike your videos. That seems to be a thing creators have to deal with. Ugh! But I wouldn't even give it a thought because so many of us have been here so long (and not being a dancer) and we're here cheering for you when things are great and to share in any sorrow. Wishing you the absolute best 💕

[@MissDister]

You look happy and relaxed. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. We love you.

[@monicavalencia1538]

I'm so happy for you that you are performing again!!! Good luck

[@DANCE1FOREVA]

I remember watching your nutcracker blogs from 6 years ago and I loved to watch you dance. You have an amazing movement quality and it’s only gotten better over the years! Thank you for being an inspiration and for showing real life.

[@hodgiaparnell3307]

Just hearing about the monitors and music to tell timings reminded me of being backstage at the theatre my dance school used to dance at until I was about.... 9? so I did 6 years of dancing on that stage. There we had monitors (Plaza theatre, Stockport, Manchester, England). RNCM (royal northern college of music) there may have been monitors for the actual dressing rooms the eldest girls were in but we got changed in a literal lecture hall and would go on mini recon missions to the rooms outside backstage to tell where we were at and how many dances before we went on. Then we did some smaller shows at stockport college, terrible! Tiny stage, almost entire school in one sports hall all getting changed together, need for actual runners because there was no monitors and you couldnt hear the music from far enough from the stage for recon to even be a thing. We had our mothers talking and getting to know which girls did which dances so we knew which costume to be ready in when. Absolute nightmare but I still loved it. RNCM was probably my favourite stage but Plaza will always be nostalgic to me

[@BethanyDial]

I love these Christmas vlogs. You are so real and relatable! I love seeing the backstage of your performances- I am generally used to the teacher side of you (thank you for those lessons!!) but am glad to see the performing Katie as well. Helps me know some of the things I feel or think about while backstage aren’t just me😂

[@genlyai5055]

So glad you are doing Sugarplum again. You have *lots* more dancing in you and I hope you'll continue performing for a long time.

[@a.phillips6892]

I would so much love to see you dancing this. You are looking so beautiful, and I’m sure your performances will be fantastic. Thank you for taking us along! Merde!💕

[@pdecorsey]

Thank you lovely Katie. I love your honest and realistic account of what it is to be a ballet dancer. You accomplished what I couldn’t. Much love to you!

[@alexandrac591]

You're on a whole 'nother level with excitement getting ready for this, and it's a joy to see. So happy you get to do this again. The first day is like the first crepe, and it's wonderful that you have perspective as an experienced dancer. Also, definitely gotta get some horsehair to sew onto the tiara!

[@alicja6260]

I'm re-watching these vlogs in my breaks from studying for finals and i love them so much. Please make them again Christmas 2022!!!

[@kathryn_morgan]

I definitely will!
