    I am soloist with Miami City Ballet a former soloist with the New York City Ballet. When I was a young student, I was always looking for insights into the ballet world and how to improve my dancing as well as beauty and lifestyle tips. Now that I am a professional, it is my turn to share.
    On my channel I make ballet, beauty, and lifestyle videos for everyone of all ages. My goal is help dancers improve and achieve their dreams as well as open up the ballet world to non dancers. You will see many different kinds of how-to videos here including makeup, hair, ballet workouts and exercises, Q and A sessions, lifestyle advice, and DIY on this channel. I hope you find all of my videos helpful!

    Yay I'm glad Tiler was nice! She's my fave :) Sad to hear the others were catty though, and it makes me wonder what they think about Miriam Miller, who got Titania as an apprentice and hasn't even hit one year of her corps contract yet but has already danced Lilac Fairy, The Siren (Prodigal Sun) and other featured roles. Maybe people are more chill because she's a tall dancer and those roles are usually the tall roles.

    This is a random comment but... i didn't even know Kathryn knew Tiler Peck! I am in the Nutcracker this year and Tiler Peck is guest starring as the Sugar Plum Fairy one of the days i am dancing and I am a big fan of her, Of course im also a huge fan of Kathryn and I love all of these videos!!

    Okay, so I'm going to do a little female ballet dancer's dream roles list: Odette, Black Swan, Sugar Plum Fairy, Clara, Juilet, and Giselle. Might have missed a few, but I know those are basically the top tier roles.

    Hi Katie, I really appreciate the fact that you are so honest in your videos. So often when audience members attend a performance, all that they see is the final product. They miss the blood, sweat, tears, and drama that goes in to make every show a great one. Thanks so much for sharing your story. Your videos have encouraged me to keep on pusuing a career in dance.

  • @lalalalaaAa123
    @lalalalaaAa123 6 років тому +7

    You are wonderful at story telling! Most videos where the youtuber tells a story have so many cuts because of fumbling that the connection gets lost. But because you're so eloquent it was so easy to go on the journey with you!

    I've never done ballet but I am fascinated by it and by the way the companies function, so I really enjoy these videos. Can't wait to see more and hear the exciting news. Btw I haven't watched your videos for a while now and I noticed your hair looks SO much fuller, is these a particular reason for it ?

    What was it like to have a parent make such a huge sacrifice for the family for your career by moving to NYC? I was always curious how that happened for other dancers and how it works out for everyone involved, how tough a decision it is or not. It must be amazing to have a parent do that for you for sure.

    how can somebody be the nicest person but act like that? i dont think so
    not a dancer, have nothing to do with ballet. but, it is so interesting to see how there are so many diff worlds in the world. meaning, she is talking about some balcony scene and im sitting here thinking ook, aaand..? means nothing to me, in my world. but obviously to a ballet dancer it means everything. diff perspectives, different lives.

    • @2kooldancin
      @2kooldancin 6 років тому

      He was just diva-ing out. Some dancers do that. But most are super nice. Katie is just a nice person that she forgave him immediately and just ignored his previous behavior so they ended up becoming friends.

    Dear Katie,
    My teachers say that I have strong allegro, artistry, and barre, but my turns are not the best. I have a double, but not a triple yet. Is it possible for me to become a professional dancer in the future even if I don’t have the strongest turns? I really enjoyed this video today!

    • @vangoghtothepolls7723
      @vangoghtothepolls7723 6 років тому +6

    • @lourdes5110
      @lourdes5110 5 років тому +4

      Even professionals have weaker areas than others, but turns get easier and easier just by practicing(I know from experience because my turns used to be my weak area and now they are one of my best things.)

    Hi, this is not ready about your story, but more wanting to know your thoughts. With you being someone who danced at New York City ballet did it ever bother you, or where you even aware of the ballet stereotypes to hat Balanchine created?
    Since you are quite pale, and ballet does just lack people of different skin tones. What would you like to see moving forward?

      Kathryn Morgan OMG when your favorite youtuber responds so you roll off from the couch. Katie, I'm not a dancer, but I do sports where flexibility helps a lot, and I have to say, your videos are GOLDEN. So so so helpful, and me personally having similar problems to yours in a way, from food disorder to having food intolerance and having health issues to coming back. Such an inspiration and a role model, not just for me but for every other girl. Such a lovely, elegant, decent and down to Earth woman. Your videos always make me laugh and learn. Keep on going and doing such a good job as always. Best of wishes to you and your family. :)
