Literally everything in ballet
,"Hey, you know what? Let's do it again."
Since it was so good the first time
Your one liners are brilliant. “I do this everyday. In a field.” HA!
Please can we have a 'I do this everyday. In a field.' T-Shirt? Has to be my favourite quote since #wheredidshego 😂
I'd get one!
It deserves at least one of your collages in facebook, Katie :D
better yet, put it on a leotard
I've always found Bournonville to be super cute. Love these videos and especially the way you sort of model constructive criticism during your commentary. You aren't afraid to point out little mistakes but are never overly harsh on yourself. This is such a valuable example for young dancers learning to critique themselves. I always worry about my students beating themselves up watching performance videos instead of processing the performance and trying to learn and grow. Thanks for being an excellent and positive role model for all of us!
Thank you so much Eleanor! I am never fond of hearing people just bash themselves to death. Sometimes they are just looking for compliments, but many really hate watching themselves. But you have to see what you are doing to improve. So I try to be as honest as I can!
Well said!
This role seems to be made for you. Somehow you're able to command a huge stage while also remaining light, airy, delicate.... I could watch you dance all day. :) Beautiful!
Katie I just want to say thank you, because its due to all these commentary videos, I notice when the dancers are tired or when their legs are probably dead! I went to see Giselle yesterday and my friend turned to me and said (after the Friend's Dance) "How are they not tired?" and I looked at her right in the eye: "Can't you see their chest moving? I don't think they can feel their legs right now." Which made me appreciate the dancer so much more, so thanks Katie :)
I thought I read the title wrong! LOVE these videos, and there wasn't a 'Where did she go?' Moment 😂
Thank you! And I know right?
Came here to find my fellow fans of the "I do this every day...in a field" line. Was not disappointed. Hahahaha!
Katie you are such a beautiful dancer! It's so interesting to see a NYCB dancer interpret a Bournonville piece. Some how the fast foot work SAB trained dancers to be able to do agrees with the Bournonville style-- very clean feet and really understated upper body movement. You are so extremely musical and your petit allegros are amazing. Such a lovely role. Thank you so much for posting.
I love how you're always so generously complimenting on your partners! So nice and humble
I felt very sparkly eyed watching this video
I’ve never seen this variation, but I love it! So light and energetic.
Thank you for sharing this!!! I adore Bournonville -- so deceptively difficult yet gracious and warm, and you carried it off gorgeously. From the comments, it looks like this was some people's first exposure to Bournonville, so it's wonderful that you are bringing people to this special piece of ballet's history, which, as you said, is still widely performed and appreciated today. I'm going to watch this a million times, it is so beautiful and sweet and truly the essence of the style.
Oh, and your partner, Allen -- incredible!
I love Bournonville, his tarantellas are the best. I've heard the steps are small because old stages used to be much smaller. Katie you make such a difficult pas de deus look so effortless.
Thank you! And that makes total sense.
O M G you look absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! Thanks for inspiring me so much, I feel like crying every time I watch you dancing. Your artistry is a gift from God and your channel has been a gift for me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pshaw! There's no, "Where'd she go moment." Therefore, not a real ballet.
Haha Yes
So beautiful! I'm always impressed by your acting skills (as well as your dance ones, haha!) you perfectly capture the girlishness of this role. It's so lovely to see how you have evolved as a dancer, too. We get to see you dance as the woman that you are now and the girl that you were then in these videos, so thank you for sharing! x
Thank you so much!
I got so excited when I saw this in my subscription box! Those brisés were effortless. Please do a video on how to do them :)
Knowing that you have struggled with petit allegro as you mentioned before it adds more sparkle to your performance. So beautiful and light! So much talent, you two filled that stage. Bournonville helped a little (my body remembers it) but you two are shining!
If anyone reads it we must remember that girls had super strong ankles and feet but shoes weren't sturdy enough to do so much on pointe. The Italians liked the tricks and started to require harder shoes and more and more steps were explored.
You are such a gorgeous dancer! I have to say that Allan may have the longest legs of any male dancer that I have seen. Beautiful job.
I so well remember friends at Northern Ballet doing this! Chris and Kathryn. I had made her costume. Everyone was in the wings to cheer them on. It's such a beautiful piece I wish it was done more often
The choreography is beautiful!
I kinda love this simple partnering!
I love the Bournonville style so much! I wish I was experienced enough to do dances like this.
I love your videos so much! I have absolutely zero background in ballet but recently I've become really fascinated by it. Your videos are so insightful and witty, and I feel like I'm learning so much. I always look forward to them, even though I'm a woefully uncoordinated 36 year-old librarian and will never have a use for your technical expertise ;) Keep up the good work and thanks for demystifying ballet for me :)
aubergine06 I'm so glad you are fascinated by ballet! It's such a lovely art!
You just seemed to float in those Bournonville jetés! Such a beautiful dancer!
please do a video on bonneville jetes! I always feel slow when getting into them, and then I don't have enough time in the air to get a full split.
My ballet teacher was a dancer with the Royal Danish Ballet for 20 years, so we do lots of bournonville. I love that style with all the small jumps!
It is so hard! But it is such a beautiful style.
This was so adorable! The steps were really interesting and I loved your costume! And btw commentary videos are my absolute favourite kind of video😍
Thank you! They are my favorite, too! I love talking back through my performances. Makes them easier for me to watch! :)
I just saw this. Wow what a performance.
Very nice. I remember doing this pas de deux in à compétition last year for my company . And you are right. The pas de deux is incredibly difficult to do... Not so much because of partnering but because it looks like nothing and it should look like fun all the time. But it is a joy to dance and I remember always feeling better after it (exhausted but much better :)) but you are really cute in it
Thank you! Yes, it is hard in a different way.
Kathryn Morgan but you have to admit it is very nice to do, especially if you like these kinds of I will say "cutesy" pas de deux.
Either way, at least it doesn't exhaust in an emotional way, like some other pas de deuxs can :)
Sorry for writing so much
Can’t get enough of these commentaries!! You’re so funny! Xx
Thank you! I try haha
Oooh my dance teacher always used to pick the first part of this music for the dance gala ! That's where it's from !
I've never seen this ballet! I really like the choreo and the music! I enjoyed your dancing here and of course the commentary too!
Oh yeah your partner's bounceiness was pretty amazing.
Katie!! This is gorgeous. I've always wanted to see when you danced with nycb ❤ love
Thank you so much!!
Al Pal , ME TOO!!
So fun to hear this commentary on a pas de deux that I really like. Thanks. Yes, it is not all magic & fun;
there is work, stamina going on..slight correcting of mistakes..adjusting to partner positions, a lot of
mental work to keep the appearance up/project the mood & sparkle-lightness. Bravo, girl; thanks.
THANK you for showing me this beautiful ballet! The music is soo amazing, the choreography so light and the dancing so awesome. Just brilliant! :)
I just started to learn this variation today at a The East Coast Cecchetti Conference. Your input is so relatable and helpful now! It is nice to know that I am not the only one that finds the ending jetes a challenge with the pas de bourres in between🦄💃😂👍
This has to be the cutest and most simply beautiful ballet ive seen, thank you for sharing and offering your commentary on this Katie. I really enjoy watching your commentary videos, they make my day when you upload them, even if i dont get a chance to watch straight away!
This is beautiful!! I love it! I wish I could have seen you do Juliet!
Everytime I watch these videos I wish I could see you dance in person! You're incredible! 💕
Thanks so much for this post. Very interesting to hear your commentary on Bournonville!
So beautiful! I love these commentaries!!❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Thank you Daniela!
This is awesome!! And I'm so happy you uploaded, these are my favorite videos in all youtube! Your dancing is gorgeous. Also, my teacher told me I could get pointe shoes yesterday. I am soooo excited. I started ballet not too long ago (although I have been doing contemporary and jazz for five years). I'm quite old to start pointe, I'm 15 years old, but I loove ballet. You're such an inspiration to me! You're probably my fav youtuber.
P.s. I'm french Canadian so there might be a few mistakes in my comment. My English isn't the best.
I love this ballet it is one of my favorites thanks for doing a commentary on it.
My pleasure!
Oh my gosh you couldn't have more ironic and better timing!😂 Im currently leading the solo from flower festival, and I almost died when I saw this pop up on my feed❤️. This ones a killer for sure gives me tons of blisters haha. Always a million thanks. Love from Canada❤️
Just beautiful! One of my favorite dance!! 😍
Thank you Katie, such amazing dancing!!!!
This is my favorite video so far! I only took ballet for fun as a kid, but I always look forward to your videos because you're so relatable and engaging and interesting!
This ballet is beautifully done! As a professional musician I can relate to how you said simple and precise is so challenging. I find that to be true of classical composers, especially Mozart. Like I said, so relatable and just very professional yet fun! Well done! Please share more if you can!
Kathryn~ What a lovely video and commentary! I normally find this style of music/ballet to be pretty bland compared to some of the other styles performed by NYCB, but your dancing is so captivating, you really raise the level of it so much. Gorgeous technique and lines, you add so much to it! Thank you so much for sharing!
This is one of my favourite pdds. Absolutely love the Bournonville style and you both do it so well!! Has anyone else ever tried the Bournonville School daily class videos on UA-cam? So hard but so good for stamina!
Omgggg Allan was my teacher at SAB summer course!
This was so beautiful!! You're so graceful and light. I loved seeing this--I've never heard of this ballet before. It's now on my list of ballets I want to do. Thank you for your channel and story!!
Your technique and artistry are so amazing! Please do a commentary on Romeo and Juliet balcony pdd! Love you, xo!❤
Thank you! Definitely working on it!
Thanks for sharing. I loved every moment and had never seen this before.
Out of curiosity, what have been your favorite costumes that you performed in?
LOVED THIS
OMG this is SO beautiful! I love the Flower Festival PDD and your execution was just wonderful. If this is the original Bournonville choreography (which I believe it is) then copyright on the choreography (as well as the music) has most definitely expired by now - I mean, the guy died in 1879 :) The stage design / adaptation / interpretation by NYCB could theoretically be a different story but there's not a terrible amount of that here so I'd say you're pretty safe.
this reminds me a lot of the first act of Giselle, lovely!
Yes - it is very similar!
LOVE THIS!!!!
Stunning, just beautiful!
You are STUNNING!! Seriously you clearly have something so above and beyond.
love this costume😍😍so beautiful
You were so lovely!,,,, One could see the potential and the budding talent!,, wow he had some clean double tours and the longest legs I've ever seen on a man, ! I loved how easy you were to watch, just totally natural and inner beauty shines every note.. Just a natural that's the best word I can use.
beautiful katie!!!!!💜💜
Brilliant!! I love your commentaries!
Thank you!
Wow, this is stunning! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Thank you Lea! It is my pleasure.
Gorgeous performance and laughed hard on your funny and honest commentary. Could you do a technique video on the grand jete with attitude back leg? You look beautiful doing them and many of my ballet friends and I struggle with it. Thank you!
That was beautiful!!! I love these!
That is so pretty, love it! Thank you for yet an other wonderful commentary video. 💗 💗 💗
Thank you Esther! My pleasure!
This was so interesting! A very different look. I love learning from you!
"when everything was about peasants and peasant dresses" lol!
Love this!!
LOVE this. So so wonderful to see you dance with NYCB. I remember when you were first in the cover of dance spirit (I think It was when you danced Juliet?) I read your article and it was my dream to see you dance - never got the chance but then you started UA-cam and I feel just as lucky!!
I feel so stupid because I have never heard of this ballet beautiful costume and dancing though
p.s. you should come out with tee shirts that have some of your hilarious commentary lines (I would buy them)
That's ok! It is not one of the big ones. So no worries!
Oh and to the tee shirts- stay tuned. :)
ohh I can't wait ;)
The funny thing is I never heard of this ballet,but they still have a flower festival in Genzano (a small town near Rome)
That was beautiful!
Loved it! ❤❤❤❤❤
I see connections with Cecchetti in Bournville's choreography.
Wow this was so beautiful!!
Saw Nuryev and Karen Kain do this around 75 I think.
I really loved this video. Not as familiar with this particular scene and it was very nice.
Omg yes!!!!!!!!!
First comment 💖💖 loved it can't wait to see more
Thank you!
Hi Kate! I always appreciate your content even though my experience with ballet can be summed up with 1 year of classes when I was a teen! But still, I love attending performances every time I have the chance. It would be very funny and interesting if you could make a video about "ballet myths in movies - debunked". In the '90s there was this huge trend of movies focused on ballet and dancing in general and I think a lot of them were packed with stereotypes. I really like your sense of humour I think you could comment on some of those movies in a very funny and yet informative way.
"Bournonville gives you a second wind" straight from the horse's mouth.
That was awesome!
I am doing this Pas this year, and It is soo much harder than it looks
Alan is my teacher at sab!!
Yay! He is just fabulous.
Exquisite.
I think the step at the end is a Shottish step. I'm not sure of spelling, but it's like a polka.
OMG Allen!! I go to SAB and I have him a lot!!
Beautiful!!! Wow, your jetes are incredible!!
Awe I loved this 💕❤️
Thank you! xo
YaaaaasHi katie can you do this video but with Romeo and juliet i would love to see that
I swear this is just 9 minutes and 43 seconds of Katy talking about Alan’s turnout
I loved this! I know you get a lot of requests, but do you think you could do a video on front and back cambers? I've been having a lot of trouble.
Thanks for everything Katie, you're the best!!❤️
Do you have any tips for keeping your back leg up after a grand/bournonville jete? I know you have done videos about the actual jump, but do you have any tips for the landing and how to keep your leg level/ go higher without the bounce or dip?
So amazing! I have a question have there ever been any NYCB dancers who went to SAB as an older teen?
Love the routine!! Can you do a foot care for dancers routine?!, any special products or tips lol?
This is quite beautiful. Could you please make a video about partnering where you and a partner teach a sequence we could follow along to? I would love that.
