This video was made for me. Some days I do consistent doubles and other days I'm struggling to get a clean single😂😂
Hadassah Same
Omg this is me 😂😂
Me 2
SOO RELATABLE
Same!!
anyone else find it impossible to select a spot on a featureless wall
Yes. haha very hard
I think it's still easier than finding one in the mirror, way too many distractions
Rita Wing totes I've done that and tried to spot a person bc thats really all I can see then they move and I'm like DANG IT!!😂😂soo true
Rita Wing Me....
try to find a crack in the wall
I can do single pirouettes all day but I can’t do doubles for the life of me. I can do a sloppy double on my right side en de das like once a day.
Same
Omg I’m in level 4 and I can’t even do 2 pirouettes
Clorox Bleach I could do nice doubles but very inconsistent triples
Don’t worry just continue working on it this video helped me get a triple
Same
I honestly wish you were my dance teacher
Thank you!
Eightieth
Elysian Logolepsy samee
Me too
same!!
thank you for the tips! my teacher says "stop doing your pirouette faces" meaning we're terrified of them lol 😂😂😂
Yes! haha I can understand that.
Does anybody else think that she should have like 10 million subscribers??!! You are seriously AMAZING !!!!!!!
Alexa Dollar ikr!!!😍😍
Alexa Dollar Agreed
Awww thank you!
+Kathryn Morgan I only do good doubles or triples well no one is watching.
She deserves them
I can do second turns all day long but I can't for the life of
me consistently do multiples. So thank you for this video. I've got my dance team assessment coming up so this is perfect timing!! I've also just started pointe 😊😊
Of course! And congrats on just starting pointe!
Kathryn Morgan thank you! Omg you replied 😭😭 you're such an inspiration thank you so much !!
What age did you start dance
Yesterday I did 5 double pirouettes, was SO happy. But now I literally just cannot get around for some reason. I'm trying to recall what I did differently yesterday but I remember anything :(. When I go too fast I lose balance, and when I go slow I can't get around. I keep telling my brain positive things but it just doesn't work. I'm devastated right now as yesterday they seemed so easy.
Does anyone have advice? Would really appreciate it.
but I don't remember anything*
@@mayt4534 are you trynna get attention?
try inhaling when you turn and exhale on the prep. also, instead of saying “1, 2, 3”, try counting “AND, 1,2” so it tricks your brain into thinking you’re doing less when you’re doing more
Pinapple _ShayShay their just looking for a little help that's all, no need to be snarky
“1...2...goodbye”
This sounds so funny
One two goodbye ..... same
😂😂😂
For me it’s more like 0.25, 0.5, goodbye
😂😂😂
I literally dislocated my knee falling out of a pirouette a few weeks ago, so the fear factor is pretty high right now. Hopefully will be up to trying this soon.
:0!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey- I actually dislocated my kneecap doing fouettes two years ago, and I still that fear factor every time I turn. I feel you!! ❤
🙏🏾 prayers !
@@amelia85293 prayers 🙏🏾
exact same thing happened to me!
That tip about counting backwards is so simple hit so incredibly helpful, I can’t believe I never thought of doing that before. Same with thinking of your shoulder going back instead of the opposite one going around.
Same! Wow! Such a small thing already making a big difference!!
My goal is to do 2 turns but I want to do five, but I can only do one😧
Same! I try to do one, but my feet wont just let me do two and I end up only doing one. My feet are really annoying 😥
Hi, Katie! I was wondering, if you could do a short video naming and explaining different variations/parts of a ballet performance? For example what is grand pas classique, coda, pas detrois etc.?
Julia Shelepkova yes I agree plz do this! Thx Mrs.Kathryn!
Julia Shelepkova yes!
OOOH brilliant idea. Thank you!
It would be a quite long and hard to understand video... Easiest parts are understanding "pas" meaning a piece of choreography and then the numbers "deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six", etc. meaning how many dancers are in the piece. Entrée meaning the entrance, adagio meaning the slow dance, allegro being the faster dances and coda being the ending part of something (as in music). But then again you need to know about white act, romanticism, classicism, what's a scene, what's an action, why pas d'action, and a huge lot of more information. You would have to study everything from 1500 to at least 1925 (if you wanna talk about classical ballet).
lord what’s that!!?? i take ballet and those are legit not ballet moves pirouette Glesha padesha
Great Tutorial..Thanks for making this video Kathyrn.
these videos are a blessing to the world
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love the 3..2..1 trick! Also new video idea: Your breakout role in NYCB Romeo and Juliet Commentary!!!
Thank you! And yes- definitely R & J! I just need to make sure I can actually post it. But I will work on it!
Just after ballet class, i saw this! Like having a gift haha. 11:15pm here. Best video (makes me try to do multiples) before going to bed hahaha
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Here's a tip, the slower you push off, the more likely you are to get more pirouettes
cinder elias use more power, just push off slower
Wdym how?
Juwana Mguni I just did 1 and and a half! (The most i got bit not alot
I can attest to this last week I did that and did 6 en pointe
@cinder elias relax, don't force yourself to spin, if you use to much force you will end up falling
I couldnt get my double for Idk how long, but literally the first time I did the 3,2,1 thing I got it!!
That tip to push your shoulder back helped me so much thank you!
I’m a hip hop dancer but I really wanted to learn this and I love it 😻
I can’t believe I never thought about the psychological side of ballet, this video has been really helpful! Thank you so much 😊
I watched this video about a month ago and my pirouettes have improved so much, thank you! I only learn and perform dance in theatre so my form was really bad before. Thanks again!
You're videos are so pure and real!!! No BS tutorials, real tips!
Who on *Earth* would thumbs-down this helpful video! 😘
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️
Anyone else Try to do a single then gets half way to doing a double by accident? Like I cant do a single or a double, always stop in between 😭😂
Thank you so much for being helpful and supportive to people who are taking ballet classes and trying to built their technique and improve their skills.
Wish you good luck with everything you do!
You are the best you really explained it.
I was watching loads of other videos and your the best out of all of them!
Thanks
Thank you so much! This is so in depth, many thanks!
You are legit the only person who I understand in ballet as a teacher omg
The first time I did a double pirouette, I tried to do it a second time and I fell and bruised my knee sooooo badly😂😂😂
I love your pirouette videos, ther're really helpful!
Absolutely love your channel! Thanks for the tips!
I tried the first tip and it instantly made it so much easier and better 😂. Thanks ❤️
This is sooooo helpful! Thank you so much, Katie!
every time you post I drop everything to watch your videos
Aww thank you!
I've been waiting for a video like this - thank you! Can't wait to try the shoulder suggestions. I'm a guy who struggled with pirouettes for years and I'm just now getting some consistency in my single turns. So far the best tip that has worked for me has been focusing on the toe/knee/hip/shoulder alignment and thinking of it as a vertical turning axis.
Just what I needed 😍 thank you so much ✨✨✨
Such a great video! I’m sharing it to my students!
I followed your tips and just got a clean 1 1/2 on my left for the first time ever. I’m gonna come back to this everyday and keep working
This helped so much! Thank you.
This video helped me so much!! Whenever I did a pirouette I always fell out of it before I got to a double and the shoulder tip completely changed that
Wow! This really helped. I went from barely being able to do a clean single to a perfect double and sometimes even a triple! Thankyou
Really love and appreciate your videos Kathryn!!
Aww thank you!
Awesome :) thanks for the tip about the shoulders!
Love you and your extremely helpful videos!!
Your videos always help me every time
this video REALLY helped me, thanks Katie!!!
This helped me so much!
This video really helped me!! Thankyou
i love youu i tried the tips once and i immediately did a double pirouette multiple timeess!!! 💗💗
Thank goodness! A gift for those of us going to summer intensives!!
I'm so glad! xoxo
Clara Euale yeah mine start on Monday and I’m in all advance and it’s kinda scary
Thank you so much!!!! Lately in class I've been counting down while turning and I've been able to do way more turns!
Two tricks that helped me with double pirouettes:
1) I used to have trouble keeping my spot for the second pirouette. My teacher would hold up fingers and as I was turning I had to shout out how many fingers she was holding up. She would change the number in between. It meant I really had to look at the spot.
2) Hold a small piece of paper in your turning hand (the outside hand) and by the end of the pirouette it has to be in your inside hand. This really helped me with fixing my arms and getting around faster.
So helpful thanks. Doing an exam on Friday that specifies double in the centre practice and on de dons and I've been struggling mentally and physically with doubles for as long as I can remember. I'm not a natural turner at all! The shoulder thing is really helpful. Thanks so much! X
Thank you for this video ive always struggled to do pirouettes on me left side. This bideo definitely helped me
You are such a good person for real, you are so sweet and kind..thank you so much for all the tutorials, this is like my dream come true because since i was a little kid i wanted to be in ballet but my parents couldnt put me..so i really appreciate all the time that you spend making this videos for us, thank so so much for making my dreams come true💜💜💜
Awww thank you so much. That means a lot to me. :)
I really have to work on my fear of falling...😯 I really struggle with my arms, they are very long and it's so hard to build stability while turning, do you have any advice for me? amazing video as always! 💟
I would really use your back. I had long uncontrollable arms as well, but once I focused on using my back instead (even in turns) I was able to stabilize. So when you turn, focus on being really strong through your entire back and core. That should help!
Kathryn Morgan thank you! I'll try it!
Girl_with_the_red_lipstick Same thing here 😣 everytime I plié to turn I just freak out thinking I'll fall down or hurt my ankle..
Girl_with_the_red_lipstick I’m the same way I had a really bad fall on pointe once and now I’m terrified to do pirouettes
I feel you
This video helped so much I literally improved immediately!!
counting backwards is a brilliant idea!!! thanks so much for great ideas and i hope i can improve my pirouettes after this!
Super video. I love all your videos. They are so informative and inspirational. Your advice is sound - coming from such a highly trained and accomplished dancer. Thank you for taking the trouble to produce these excellent videos and for posting them on You Tube. Hope there will be many more to come. I'm a great admirer of yours. With best wishes from Sri Lanka.
that was really useful thank you.
Katie :) i'm a male dancer :) i'm from Mexico and i would love if you could post a barre workout for jumps and petit allegro :) i have learned a lot watching your videos :D you're the best Katie thanks for everything

Pirouettes
1) use your shoulders
2) SPOT

Let me just say your amazing teacher! Your videos are great
This vid helped so much
I’m so mad I landed a double pirouette three times but when I tried to get a video I couldn’t do it! My dad saw it once so I at least have a witness but that was frustrating
Thank u for this video. I didn’t even realise the shoulder thing before cuz my teacher didn’t teach it, but now my single turns are looking much better, i’m excited to get to multiple turns !
guys i’ve been dancing for 12 years and i’m still looking up videos to turn bc i’m a perfect lefty yet when it comes to my right side i just can’t like i can do sometimes 5 pirouettes on my left that are super clean but i’m struggling to get a triple on my right side and my team puts right triples in dances and i manage to get around but they’re not clean lol
Thank you for this video!! my pirouettes improved by a TON!
