    I miss your UA-cam videos…
    I love that you are doing the program with people with movement disabilities! I have been almost completely disabled by arthritis and fibromyalgia in the last 2 yrs (I’m 49), and I can only imagine how much your classes help those individuals - not only with movement, but mentally. Going from being an active woman to having to walk with a cane have taken a toll on me mentally and I wish I lived in a large centre where I had access to something like that.

    It's really hard for me to cry, and as soon as I saw all the elderly people and kids dancing I just lost it. Dance is so powerful, and I have avoided getting involved in it because of being on the spectrum and the possibility of not looking "right" when dancing. You have no idea how much good you are both doing.

The love and support you are showing to the neurodivergent community brings tears. I cannot imagine how much this would have helped when I was little. Movement seems to be so incredibly helpful. Love the codes lining your walls, and also, you guys are adorable.

The first time I saw you dance Kate (and Martin!!), I knew that dance was where you belonged...you are both incredibly beautiful dancers. The purpose of your company and the outreach programs warm my heart!!! I am soooo looking forward to the new season. For now I will have to be in the 'online' audience, but my goal is to be able to come and see a live performance! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your beautiful vision with the world!!!💗💗💗

And I am sure it's the same for all the people who have the chance to see you and/or dance with you! Thank you so, so much for being who you are, for sharing it and for having the courage to change the ballet/dance world! Love

    Kate and Marty, although you both have been so missed on UA-cam, what have you accomplished in just a year is amazing. The good you are putting in to the world through starting your ballet company, teaching ballet classes to adults with limited mobility and neurodivergent little humans both warms my heart and brings happy tears to my eyes. We are given gifts and talents in this lifetime and you are using yours to make this world a much more beautiful and loving place for humanity. Can’t wait to follow you both on this next leg of life’s journey.

    Hi Kate and Marty. You are such an inspiration. As someone who gave up performing and songwriting over 20 years ago I have been struggling with even finding a purpose again. This makes me wonder if it is possible to finally reconnect with that part of myself and be fully authentic in my expression. So much love to you. Do you think you might consider doing some online classes for mental health/holistic support for those of us still living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief etc as a dance therapy or expressive therapy project, and for those of us who can't see you in person in other parts of the world (I am in Australia unfortunately)? I am an academic and have trained as a creative arts therapist and still on my healing journey and would love to see this.. Your yoga and dance exercise classes helped me back in the day because of your genuine compassionate energy xoxo

I think this first year is going to be amazing and life changing on so many levels, not just for you and your dancers but the souls you reach in the community as well. As someone that has worked with the neurodivergent population (starting in the preschool setting) I know how beneficial this will be for those sweet souls! I think it's my favorite part of your company so far! I'm so so so so so happy for you!

    I really love this and after watching your journey for a few years through the internet I am so excited for you. I would consider myself a novice dancer. I always feel uncomfortable in "dance spaces" because I am BEYOND big for a dancer at this point in my life but as a child I danced in Broadway summer camps. These days the most dancing I do is basically weekly Zumba classes because I love dance so much but no longer feel comfortable at local dance studios. I appreciate what you're doing for dance, the overall dance community, and how you highlight the beauty of movement. Love you lots, thank you for your work!!

    Kate! You are positively glowing. Both of you are!!! I've never seen you look so happy and healthy from the inside out. Your hair is amazing. I think the time off youtube is exactly what you needed. I think youtubers who just rely on youtube have so much pressure and sometimes I felt like you seemed a little lost. I feel like we are finally seeing the real Kate who is just being herself here. The things you have done with the dance company is amazing. I so enjoyed watching this!! I remember when you first got back into dance, seriously, with Marty and I always thought you were a good dancer but man, you are just gorgeous and I can tell you have worked really hard getting back into it. I'm so happy for you. I love that you are bringing joy to so many people and created a safe space for your dancers in your company. You are a treasure.
