I love this, it's like 'Katie's internal monologue while watching her own dancing.'
It's so nice to hear it from the dancer's perspective when as an audience we simply see all the grandeur and 'effortlessness' incorporated into such a ballet. You really emphasized on good partnership in this video, perhaps you could make a video and how a female and a male dancer can become good partners? Like I heard that often the female dancer tries to help by trying to do the majority of the work but that just makes partnership harder? Would love to hear your take! Thank you so much for all your guidance!
Thank you! Great idea- I definitely need to do a video on partnering. Thank you for the suggestion! xoxo
Yay! Thank you! Looking forward to your new videos!
I ADORE these commentaries !!! :)
Thank you!
Thanks to you for sharing !! I also appreciate to way you explain about your health and how comfortable you are with your body despite of your illness. I think you are a well balanced person and that young people need to have someone like you to look up too ! I'm not a ballet dancer but I wished it so much when I was growing up ! : ) I enjoy watching your videos, they let me see how hard I would have had to work !! But also how beautiful and amazing ballet is !! Thank you !!
i was wondering if maybe one day you could show one of your old solo videos side by side of you dancing it now so we can kinda see how much you've grown and just to kinda see how its supposed to look because obviously your better now. just a little idea idk.
Ooh that's a great idea. Thank you!
Beaders
Those fish dives were incredible.You looked so beautiful and regal throughout.
When you kept talking about how tired you were ❤️ An artist makes everything look easy
I love when you hit your fifths/sous sous! Brings me back to my training, my teacher, who was trained by Balanchine for a large part of her pre professional career, always stressed- " I want to see two heels when in fifth en point!" And girl, you nail it! You don't see that clean, heels forward sous sous anymore....
“I’m dying, I can’t breathe, I have to turn, wonderful!”
OMG IM CRACKING UP RN
5:14 HOW THE ACTUAL EFF DID YOU NOT FALL FLAT ON YOUR FACE OMG MY HEART JUMPED WATCHING THAT WHOO THATS ENOUGH CARDIO FOR ME TODAY
Those fish dives were beautiful!
LOVE this! Can you do commentary for Aurora's birthday entrance? That might be my favorite part of the ballet, and I would love to see you do it!
Ooh yes! It's also one of the hardest parts of the ballet because you literally feel like you are shot out of a cannon!
Kelly Omg I love that part too!!❤
The ending of the pas de deux was gorgeous! ❤️
YES to these types of videos! It's so amazing to hear the actual commentary - both what the technique is 'supposed to be', which is when you realise ballet dancers are human, and the commentary from the dancer's perspective, like the partner thing, oh there's this detail (Balanchine spot), shoes aren't right. It just makes everything not only more knowledgeable, but also expands on the grandeur of the ballet world - every little itty bit matters
I appreciate your mistakes, as a young dancer striving for perfection it's good to have a reminder that everyone makes mistakes. Thank you so much for sharing, so educational !!!
Love these commentaries, I really liked how you told us the story of the arms in the aurora solo variation, I never knew that but it adds so much more meaning. Awesome dancing and please keep on doing these
Yes! Thank you for telling us the meanings behind the movements and miming!
Thank you so much! I will!
I love "Sleeping Beauty" it was the first and only professional ballet I ever saw. My dad took me it was performed by a Russian ballet company. I took ballet for 8 years all the way to pointe. I love your channel and live for your commentaries!
I'm SO glad that a technical ballet dancer such as you has a UA-cam channel. And a good one ❤️
Thank you Morgan!
These commentaries are so educational and I really enjoy them because they make me appreciate dance even more!!! Thanks Katie you are so cute
fascinatiing to hear the details about the miming,and emotions that the dancing is putting across.
I think these might be my new favourite videos of yours, it's just really great to see your insight and all the little things that you teach!
love the commentaries!! I find them so fun, interesting and quite informative! Would love to see more:)
This pas de deux is so clean, it’s breathtaking. well done!
Of all the great things you do on your channel, I think I enjoy your commentaries the most. It's super, super interesting to have a professional giving the play-by-play. Dancers are supposed to make it look effortless (which you always do), but as a devoted ballet lover who trained at a just-under-pro level, I know the steps and what's involved in the mechanics and transitions and it's light years away from effortless. I really appreciate the added dimension your comments give us as your audience. Thank you so much for that.
In a related aside -- your port de bras is unexpectedly lovely. I never really think much of NYCB- trained dancers in the way of port de bras; it's one of the few glaring weaknesses of the Balanchine method, IMHO. NYCB dancers are all highly musical, they have incredible speed and stamina, and wonderful feet. But not so much on the arms, and rather stiff hands, as a rule.
You, however, are a delightful exception to that rule!
I love the commentaries! it's so interesting hearing criticism and tidbits of background information from a trained eye. thank you for this!
I just went to Ballet West's production of Sleeping Beauty last night. How fun to go to see this video posted today! I'd love to see more of these. :)
Bless your heart doing this at 21! There was a sophistication in your movement quality which belied your years, wasn't there? I agree that those promenades are a bear! Lovely, Kathryn. Thanks for sharing this.
I absolutely love these videos! It is so funny because to me everything you do just looks perfect yet you are highlighting bits that were errors and your commentary is gold haha 💛💛💛
I really enjoy hearing these and seeing the dance from the dancers point of view!
I love the commentary videos, especially when you explain the significance of each move!!!
She kept saying oh this is the hardest part and oh this is my favorite part! Haha😂😂 love the these videos though and can totally relate
I absolutely love all the commentaries
You have such beautiful hands and fingers! I feel like so many dancers now have these sharp, harsh looking hands. Yours are so strong but so soft and graceful. Loved this, well done!
I LIVE for these videos!! I only do Ballet for fun and fitness (no hopes of going pro, I'm in my 20s), and I'm a guy, but I absolutely _love_ hearing your commentary and seeing what it is I don't see. I really hope you continue these!!
Guess what? I got approved for pointe last night! I have to thank you, Katy, because I have watched all of you videos and you give such great tips. Thanks for making such helpful videos!
Yes please do more commentary. I'm not in ballet at all, so it's nice to know how you feel on the other side as you dance. Thanks and you're a wonderful dancer by the way! ^.^
You were so on music in the solo part. I watched a lot of professional performance of that variation. Many ballerias had issue hitting the music with a live orchestra. It is so satisfying to watch that you were able to achieve that!
2019 and It is stunning! Mistakes and all! ( I saw no mistakes, you know much more than I) Bravo
Ooofff my feet hurt just watching this. Mad respect!!
ohhhhh I had no idea about the story behind the port de bras in the variation! That's perfect! I love the subtle meaning and importance it adds to the choreography :)
Loved this.Thank you for sharing.Your partner was impressive in the fish dives. I always enjoy when the male dancer lifts his front foot.
I'm not a ballet dancer but do love watching it, and having the commentary from not only a trained dancer but the actual dancer I'm watching is really really fantastic - I can't see the tiny mistakes like the dancer not ending a step in fourth so to have someone say so is really helpful. Please do more of these - even if you hate watching yourself, I like watching you; you're a beautiful dancer!
i loveeee these! i could watch you comment on entire ballets. you give such amazing points (pun intended) and critique it really helps! please do more!
Haha thank you! I will!
This was lovely, thank you so much for sharing. Hope to see more commentary videos and learning more about ballet in the process.
Absolutely love these commentaries. Your insight and critique is both interesting and really fun!
I simply heart you and your commentaries...
What you share is very admirable. I enjoy it all the more, because you're approachable about it without any diva fluff.
Salut! 😊🙃
These are brilliant! I'm learning so much and you strike such a great balance between the perfectionism needed for the art form and the realities of the human body!
Please make as many as you can - I, for one, will watch them all!
Thank you
Xjx
I love love love your commentary! It's so interesting and helps us understand what it's like to be on stage :)
I love your videos, my mom was a dancer but I was never any good at it. your videos are so accesible and interesting. i love them. hearing you do the commentary was grand because its always fun to see the performer's take on their craft, even though its always cringy to watch oneself perform, or at least that's how I always felt.
So educational! Please make many more.
I will!
Those are great Katie ! And it's so amazing to see you dance, you're so graceful and beautiful!
Oh this is just lovely! This pas and variation are SO hard. Loved your commentary! (And your dancing of course!)
Thank you so much for fantastic commentary videos. Your commentary really enlarges my perspective on ballet. I can enjoy ballet even more.
I have never heard of the "rule" of three in classical ballet before. It looks like I'll be trying to spot those patterns the next time I find myself looking at classical works, haha. These videos are thoroughly enjoyable and informative, Kathryn; thank you for posting them!
Awww I really love hearing your commentary, fun facts and stories :)
I’ve said it before…..but your port de bras is incredible!
I can't get enough of these!
I am not a dancer, but watch all of your videos with great interest and great pleasure :) Just wanted to say thanks for your work :) The content is just amazing!
I love these videos. The commentary brings so much insight to this, so helpful :)
I love these videos. showed them to my boyfriend to show him how hard ballet is. looking forward to more of them:)
I really like these and appreciate your insights into making certain steps successful, such as the fish sequence or covering for an off-balance finish. Thank you so much for sharing, and I look forward to seeing more of these videos!
Love! Katie, would you please consider teaching a variations class where we wanna-bes can learn (simplified!) versions of variations from the classics. Just for fun! You have so much to offer, I'm sure the younger students would get a lot out of it too because there are so many details to cover, right?
Thanks for explaining the spotting-to-the-front. I always wondered about that one. Is it harder? To my eyes, I both love it because we see your beautiful face; and I find it odd to see someone moving through space not looking where they are going...do you happen to know what Mr. B's thinking on that was?
I defenetly love this kind of videos 😉😊
Thank you!
As a non-dancer I know nothing about technique and stuff, so I'm so happy for this kind of insight! I just love your dancing. You did such an amazing job and I bow to your artistry. You are so graceful and precise, and you put so much of natural yet very clear expression into your dancing. Just... wow!
Kathryn you are such a graceful and beautiful ballerina! I am a ballerina as well and you are such an inspiration to me! Keep doing what you love!
I could watch you dance all day. You are a gorgeous ballerina✨🙌🏻
I just saw my cousin as Aurora with the School of Pennsylvania Ballet, and watching your version helped me understand the story as well as how impressive and difficult it is to do this role. It allowed me to appreciate everything she did so much more, so thank you for this and all of your videos.
LOVE these videos with the commentary, they're so reassuring for me because I always feel so tired after variations despite the "short" length (I typically do 2-3 minute dances at least). Love hearing the nit-picky things you notice about your own dancing too, I never would notice those kinds of things without the comments but they help a lot to give insight on how to do the steps correctly.
Love love LOVE these commentaries! More please ☺
You are just such an inspirational role model.
I love these commentaries!! More please!
These are wonderful!! And... when you said you didn't hit a perfect fifth position with your arms-does it matter-you do everything so beautifully that we'd never know and..... a little artistic license right?? So freaking talented and amazing!
I love this one! It must be such a treat to dance Aurora. A technically and character-wise demanding role on such breathtaking music!
Yes! Keep doing commentaries I enjoy them very much!
The commentaries are awesome! I love the insights and I hope you can do them with other ballets as well :)
I had no idea I had waited for this video. This is my favorite piece and I thought you looked perfect when I saw the original video, but it's very interesting to hear your side of the story. Please keep up with this format, I love it.
I love it! And your commentary was lovely and also most importantly very educational!!!
So beautiful! Yes, love the commentary!
I've watched the original video many times. Your commentary was truly fascinating. I DID always wonder what that arm movement meant at 6:28. It's a very specific look. Now I get it!!!
Thank you!
I absolutely love these commentaries!!!!!!
I love these because I actually know what's going on! I've always loved ballet but never understood it. Now I **kind of** do!
That was THE most beautiful Pas de Deux. I think that one is my favorite especially with you.
i LOVE THESE. AND WOULD NEVER KNOW YOU MADE ANY MISTAKES IF HADN'T SAID SO. YOU ARE GREAT. THANK YOU FOR THIS. IT IS VERY FUN AND VERY INSPIRING.
You are so talented! Please keep these videos up, I love them!
These videos are amazing. I showed them to my husband, and he loved it! It helped him understand what was going on in the scene. Very, very cool. Please keep making these!
love your dancing, thank you Kathryn. yes, please post more videos of your dancing with commentary.
Thank you! I will
Yes please! More commentaries! 😇

These are my new favorite videos, they're so interesting! I'm a singer studying dance to get a better grasp of performance and have better control of my body. I didn't expect to become so invested in ballet and I love knowing more about what I'm watching. Please, please, please keep making these!
Looove these commentaries!
Yes! These commentary videos are really helpful and very interesting, I think it's a great way of learning because we don't have just the video to rely on, but we also have your sincere comment on your own work and I think it's brilliant! Thank you very much 😘
