    So lovely 😍 it’s so funny to hear you critique yourself because every time I’ve watched a ballet everything looks perfect 😂 that’s one good thing about the majority of your audiences not knowing a thing about how it’s supposed to be done. These commentaries are super fun to watch

  • @SkatingChik629

    "It's okay, Juliet. I'm still here. And I look great in my cape". kathryn, you're absolutely delightful.

    I just wanted to let you know that I am a large, uncoordinated human who has no rhythm or interest in dancing, however I found your channel randomly about a year ago and I’ve watched every single video on your channel in full. Sometimes I find myself sitting there, watching you do an advanced pointe class, and I wonder “why am I watching these with such interest?!”, and the truth is that you were definitely born to show and teach others this art form. I am incredibly interested in all of your videos, and am so inspired by your commitment to this art form. I may not have an interest in dancing myself, but since watching your videos, I’ve booked tickets to see four or five ballets in the past year. Thank you for igniting this unexpected passion in me! :)

    • @kathryn_morgan
      @kathryn_morgan  6 років тому +20

      Thank you so much for sharing that with me! That makes me so happy. That is my goal here - to bring the joy of ballet to everyone. So thank you so much!

    • @morganb4168
      @morganb4168 6 років тому +11

      Kathryn Morgan of course! I just wanted to let you know that you’re reaching not only people who are trying to become professional dancers, but also people like me who fall in love with watching and supporting this art form just from watching you speak about your experiences as a professional and watching you perform. I’m sure you already knew people like me were watching your videos, but I felt the need to tell you because I think encouraging creators is important even if they know they already have support! Love your content, Katie, I hope you have a good day!

    To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

    So lovely seeing you perform with the NYCB members. I think all of the NYCB Juliets perform this role beautifully obviously, but you have such a lightness about you! Definitely my favourite I have seen thus far, though I have never seen it in person.

  • @Nadine-gw5qc
    @Nadine-gw5qc 6 років тому +10

    Can you do another ask Katie? Here are some questions
    Are squats good for ballet dancers?
    What length should dancers nails be?

    • @mariana_palazuelos
      @mariana_palazuelos 6 років тому +4

      Lunadiviner Hi there! I've done research and squats are not bad if you do them correctly. You don't need to use weight while doing them or doing the fast because a contracting the muscle over and over and really fast will crete a bulky muscle and we want to keep them lean. And about nails, short are the best. You don't want to risk yourself or your partner/class mates to get hurt while dancing.
      Hope this helps! Greetings from Costa Rica

    • @kathryn_morgan
      @kathryn_morgan  6 років тому +4

      Yes - I will do another Ask Katie very soon!

    • @lydiawesthead5796
      @lydiawesthead5796 6 років тому +4

      Interestingly Kathryn mentions this is her Pilates full body workout she posted recently. Something along the lines of 'yes they are fine, but don't go too hard or low, etc'. I prefer to do the leg pulses that she has done in various leg workout videos anyway as they lengthen your muscles. Hope this helps!

  • @mariana_palazuelos
    @mariana_palazuelos 6 років тому +2

    I just love every detail you take in count while interpreting Juliet. I think people nowadays just study the choreo and that's all.
    I would like to have an advice. For vídeo auditions for Trainee Programs or Summer Intensives do you think that I should show exercise in which I'm working a lot of technique or exercise more danceable (if that makes sense for anybody). I would appreciate if you o anyone here sees my video audition in my channel and give me some recomendations or any positive feedback.
    Thanks Kathryn and all the ballet dancers here!

    @eliseacuff2129 6 років тому

    Hi I’m a dance student in Knoxville Tennessee. I’ve had this deep passion for pointe since I was little. I’m 14 and just started pointe for the very first time! My ankles are weak and I have no technique. My pointe class is only 30 mins long. Being in the pointe shoes has only hurt me mentally knowing that I’ll never be able to do what I love. I often dance in my room to the nutcracker not knowing any technique, but it feels so good. I’m trying so hard to improve, but I just have no where to go. I watched your videos and tutorials, but without someone to correct me or slow the lessons I just struggle and lose confidence. Please give me some advice! My passion for pointe is draining me mentally, because I have no where to go! I’ve tried and tried, but without help I do the wrong things over and over!

  • @JS-hj4dj
    @JS-hj4dj 6 років тому

    Can you do a Q & A video 2018? I've got some questions: to be a dancer, how much dance should you do at 10 years old? What do you think are the 10 most important things about being a dancer? How much ballet training do you have to do for a contemporary dancer?

  • @brackthomasfischer6139
    @brackthomasfischer6139 6 років тому

    Hey Kathryn! Can you please do commentary on the scene where Lady Capulet and Lord Capulet try to get Juliet to marry Paris, then she goes to Friar Lawrence and when she agrees to marry Paris and then she drinks the potion and then her friends, the nurse, her mom and her dad find her dad?! You’re one of my favorite ballerinas!!! 💙❤️😘

    @marziaedwards712 6 років тому

    Hi Kathryn could you do a video about recovering from injury? I had a very bad ankle injury and it took me 18 months to recover enough to be able to do pointe work again. I always loved it before but now I constantly worry I will get another injury that will stop me from getting on pointe ever again. So I hesitate a lot especially on turns which means I'm not half as good as I used to be.
    Thank you x

    "Tybald, chill out dude." I love your commentarys so much! It's all in one dancing and the explanation of the story. There are so many videos on youtube of people doing beautiful variations, but they are hard to understand without the context.
    And your videos show me everytime, that your acting is as fantastic as your dancing.
