I've been doing your feet strengthening routine for a month now (during the holidays) and on my first day back I managed to do a combination I have never managed before on pointe!! I can't thank you enough!
Thank you for these! I'm not a dancer, but I practice martial arts (taekwondo and kicboxing) and strong feet and ankles are very important for us too, since we pivot a lot during kicks. These are absolutely wonderful and I've started doing them daily!
I’ve been doing these exercises in flat shoes for the past year and a half, and I just found out that I’m ready to to on pointe! This video helped me so much and I am so grateful for it 😊
Could you do a video for beginner pointe exercises ?
She already did
I'm still dancing on demi-pointe, so could I just do the exercises you did in pointe shoes in my flat shoes and do the moves in demi-pointe? :)
Ioana Ilieva Yes absolutely! Great idea and that will really strengthen your feet.
This was an awesome video! I'm no where near pointe, but I want to work on my balance because I suck at turning!!! But, I will work on my balance, and balance only! I don't want to hurt myself, but I admire how you are on pointe. Keep up the good work, toodles!
Alysha Middleton Thank you! And good luck to you!
:)
Omg I suck at turning too!!!
@@sofiasolanet5743 same 😭 😂
Could you make a video on improving the way your foot looks in a pointe shoe? Like strengthening your arch or something like that?
Follow along video! That way I can rewhatch and make sure I'm doing the work out fully every time. Thank you so much for these videos I really appreciate the advice you have to give on everything dance.
Heather Alers-Hankey rewatch
i loved the voice over! and i also love to follow along! but this voice over gave very good essential pointers!!! thank you so much!
notes for myself!
theraband:
-pointe and flex 10x
-keep foot pointed and lift 10x
-bend knee and lift ankle flexed 10x
-bend knee and lift ankle pointed 10x
-roll through the foot with heel on floor 10x
-reverse 10x
balance
-stand in middle and balance, rock from heel to toe
-hold one foot in cupe and pile and hold for a second, repeat
-petite battemant balanced
-hold on demi pointe for as long as you want
Thanks! I'll be doing this over the summer for when ballet takes a break
I like the follow along/workout style but this video very useful too! Could you do a video on how you choose, sew, tie and break in pointe shoes? Thanks! I love the new series already!
Thank you! And I have already filmed a pointe shoe video! :) Should be going up next week!
I like the voice over, I think this is a great Idea. I'm working up to pointe so I'll definitely use these exercises
My physiotherapist gave me the balance disk exercises and she told me a few pillows make a good substitute. Thanks for the great video!
Kelly Lewis Great idea! And thank you!
This video with the voice over was great I liked that I could see your feet up close at different angles. This made each excerise clear so I could accomplish each accurately. Also as a novice ballet dancer it would also help to see a video and real time. Having both options for videos would be great, this way I could see the entire body throughout each excerise. Thank you very much for this video.
I have only just discovered your site and love it. I am an adult beginner and have no intention of ever doing point work. But I like the exercises ( rolling the ball etc... )
I prefer a workout style.
I like this style with voice over. Thank you
Love your videos! I would prefer the follow along format but I still appreciate the information provided. Thank you for taking the time to spread the knowledge!
Thank you! Most people want the longer format, too, so I will probably do that in the future! xo
This is a great video for feet because its up close. You can see each move closely. You also state how many repetitions a person should do. However, I believe a workout video type format would be more beneficial, especially since they are not that common. :)
Antoinette Vidal Thank you! I appreciate it!
i like following along
This is an awesome video. I would enjoy a follow-along exercise type video as well. Thanks!
Levonia Austin Great! I created one. Hope you enjoy it! Feet & Pointe Work Strengthening Workout
Wonderful. I wish they'd had those wobble balance board things when I was ballet training.
They are so helpful!
Hi Kathryn 🌸 Can please let ur sub's know where u go to purchase balance boards and the other equip u use in ur videos? Thx!! Xo Ana🎀
Thanks for this video I just found out that I am going on pointe in January and do t months of strengthening and conditioning our feet
Cool. Thank you. I actually liked the series of exercises. I am an adult dude who is a dancer wannabe. I do pointe work but not brave enough to do center work. I feel heavier than ever....In summary. I'll try these exercises to be stronger....he he.... thank you again.
Hiya, firstly I’d like to say thank you for the exercises and tips - and I would prefer a real time video over a voiceover.
Second of all, I would love your advice on something. I am a dancer and love dancing so much, I am 15 and am currently doing my interfoundation course. However, I am not at all flexible and although I have started pointe, my feet are not strong enough to stay up for long enough, and my arch is not high enough to go fully up.
I would love to one day become a professional dancer, but as many local dance schools are far too expensive, I was wondering if you had any more at-home tips that could help me progress further.
Thank you so much,
Ella, 15, UK
The second option is better: You doing it with us in real time.
Thank you! I really love your videos
Could you also do a video on how to get higher developpes? That would help a lot. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this vid, My studio is putting me on pointe in about 3 months, so this really helps
Thank you for the ideas for my pointe class! Love all your vids- keep them coming and I'll keep watching! You're great!
Great tips!! I like this format where you just display the exercises and then we can work on it on our own time. It's quick it gets to the point. I'm actually looking to strengthen my ankles increasing the stability I just had a ankle injury about 6 weeks ago. But I'm not a ballet dancer or anyting I do acroyoga.
A wish for the next Exercises-video - Find your center/strengthen your core :) Love you videos!
I have just recently started back to point and I been struggling with my left foot instability. I think these exercises will be helpful. Personally I would prefer the workout version and going through the workout with you. Thanks again Elaine
Elaine Gregory Great! I created the workout version. Hope this helps you!
Feet & Pointe Work Strengthening Workout
Hi Katie! I really love your videos and how they've helped me so much as someone who stopped ballet for two years and am suddenly placed in a higher level simply because of experience. Although my classmates have been there for about 2 years and me, only 6 months, your videos help me improve a lot and it seems that when I'm next to my classmates it's like I never even stopped ballet. I'm about to go en pointe really really soon and I need your opinion, should I buy the normal Gaynor Minden elastics or the invisible ones? Or do they actually make a difference? Please and thank you. I look up to you so much!!
Really helpful!!! Could you maybe do your favorite warmups and stretches???? Thanks for putting up these videos!!
Thank you! And Yes- great suggestion!
Thank you . I have weak ankles. I was looking for ankle strengthening for rugby players and this is perfect.
I have been doing these exercises every day and my feet have improved so much with pointe work and balance. Thank you!
Hi Kathryn! Just wanted to thank you for another great video! I am working through all your videos on CZcams as your explanations are great, always safe and really well explained and demonstrated. You really are a star to be sharing your experience and expertise with all us dancers trying to improve out here, so thank you so so much! ( Jocelyn, adult amateur in UK). Ps I like the workout DVD format, mostly because we get more contact with you as a real person ! ❤️
Good exercises for the feet. I do yoga and need to strengthen my feet and ankles. This will be helpful. Ballet is so beautiful!
I think it would be cool it you would do these as a workout DVD!!!
I like when you sit down and actually talk and do the exercises with us😜 I love you sooooo much kathryn morgan! I watch and do your exercises everyday! it's my daily routine lol. but I have a question, I was wondering if you could do a video on getting stronger for pointe for people don't have their point shoes yet and want to get strong for them?
I'm not Katie, but doing these exercises (without pointe shoes, so on Demi-pointe instead) will definitely help. I've been off pointe for a while and will be doing these exercises on demi until I've gain enough strength. Just remember it doesn't happen over night :)
This video is so helpful, thank you for making it! I enjoyed the format of this video but would prefer the the workout style video.
Thank you! Most people are saying that!
Impressive how fast you are uploading your videos! I like this new series already :) Thanks!
Thank you!!!
I love all of your ballet videos because they are so helpful
These are so odd but make so much sense! I would have never had known these could be so helpful. Thanks!
I loved how you did the video just how it is I think it's perfect and you're very graceful and beautiful by the way :-)
i like the follow along videos better but your vids are always excellent
Hi loved this and would love actual beginner exercises to music and following a workout would suit me and jumps would be fabulous ,how to look light and not heavy!
Is there anyway you could do a video showing all your dance tools/exercise equipment?
Yes please do that kind of video
This is great! As you've already noted folks are saying: Yes, I'd love a follow-along-style video! Just getting back into pointe work after a 13 year absence (I'm clearly out of my mind), so this is much appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you for letting me know! And you are NOT out of your mind! :)
Kathryn Morgan Haha! Thanks!
Can you do a class with these exercises. What exercises do you recommend to get up pointe on one leg? I just started with very basic pointe!
Really helpful advice, thanks!! What about a video on improving and correctly using turnout?? *love that u answer to everyone!
I'm so excited to do pointe this year could you pls do a video on exercises for your ankles to make them stronger because u want exercise them for the rest of the time i have left before dance starts so I can get my pointe shoes asap
Your feet are sooooooo good and you are an amazing dancer. Can you do a what's in my bag and snacks to eat in between rehearsals. Thanks for the videos you are making!
Could you please do a video on safe ways to improve hyperextension such as knee stretches, theraband, etc? Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
Thank you for all those great exercises. There were some I have never seen.
I like the fast videos better because I want to choose myself how much time I invest. And the short videos are better for checking back (and probably less intimidating and therefore will get more views...)
Okay, this is only 7 minutes, I have no excuses😂. I will try doing this every day for 3 months and then update😊
June 1 2020: (coming soon😜)
How did it go?
@@annabeth9107 so, it actually started off well (and was definitely helpful!), but I ended up taking up running and weight training which has helped a ton more! And in case anyone is curious I run 4-6 miles, then strength train 60 minutes.
Hi Kathryn, really good video! i think it would be great to do the follow along, this has really helped me with ponte, i just started last month and honestly this video has been a lot of help. so keep it going!
I really loved this video. This video was the most helpful ankle strengthing video out right now. I would love it even more if it were in a follow along format. Thank you!
Thank you! The majority of people are saying that! :)
Thank you so very much Katie for all your wonderful videos. You are such a wonderful resource and an amazing inspiration to dancers!
Dani Morano Thank you so much!
Hi, Kathryn .
Thank you for your nice video . It really is quite helpful . I got inspiration and also I am seeing bright future of my ballet exersise . I like your 2nd option that I do exeresise with you together .
This was posted on my birthday ❤️
Thank you so much for these exercises; they are very helpful!! I want to share with you one of my favourite tips: use the Dolphin Infrared Massager or any massager you may have. Give a soft massage over the Aquilles tendon and your ankles. You will see how that zone gets stretched and relaxed. Your feet will thank you a lot!
P.S: I really appreciate your videos because I started this year to dance ballet at the age of 25! and I have flexible flat feet. As far as I work hard on strengthening my feet, I will be fine.
(I was not able to find videos of you dancing at the NBC, just a few from the Sleepy Beauty)
Kisses from Buenos Aires, Argentina! I hope to see you one day at the Colón Theatre.
I like this format.
I would love it if you could do inner thigh exercises in a video. I really need to work on mine. Also I have a lot and of trouble not using my quads I know you are not suppose to use them in ballet but if you have any tips, that would be very helpful. Thank you so much!
You could make short intros to your tutorials that briefly show what the exercises will be, and then go on to go through them slowly so viewers can follow. Just an idea :)
support that idea!
Could you do a video on how to strengthen your core for pointe? I know that I need to work on mine. I have trouble balancing without wobbling so I was hoping this might help. I do 100 releves a day (50 in parallel, 50 in 1st) I am getting better at holding my balance on passe while on releve so I know if I keep working on it, I'll keep improving.
Thanks
Could you make a video on how to stretch etc. to get the arabesques up higher?
Yes! I will put that on the list.
Thanks Kathryn
Love this format! It's quick but informative! Thank you for the vid!
Thank you!
I like the second option! Love your classes! Thank you!
I want to tell you how much your videos have helped me! I am getting ready for my ballet exams in order to get into a better dance school. I really need your wonderful videos! I just want to ask you a question: I don't have a thera band and I don't really plan on buying one. Is there something else that I could use instead of it?
I simply love your videos :) Please keep up the great work!
I like this format
I prefer the workout style! Loved this anyway! ❤️
This is great, thanks! I like this style, but I think it would be helpful for me if you went a little slower. I would also really like to have more advice on your blog. What is on there already was very useful.
It would be great if you can make a monthly plan to help improve techniques
This videos are helping me
How inspiring, well i wish that everybody was alike, but were not, i mean no man is an island, but i love love love your video format, it's almost inspiring;)
Great format. Very nice exercise routine. You are such a life saver with your wonderful tutorials. Thank you so much for all you share with us.
Very informative! Thanks, Kathryn.
Thank YOU!
I like the work out style! Thank you for the video!
Wonderful Exercises! Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to share with my Ballet Students.
Hey Kathryn,
is is better to do the whole exercises first at the f.e. on the right side and then on the left side. Or exercise one on the left side then on the right side, exercise two on the right side then on the left side...
Love your videos :)
Thanks😆
Hey Kathryn ! I absolutely love your style and vibe of everything from your organization , accessories , etc . I was wondering if you could do a "What's in my dance bag?" video . Also , maybe a monthly favorite video ? Thanks so much Xx ❤️
GREAT suggestions! Thank you so much!
I would like the other style of videos more but this one was still great! :) thanks
Thank you! Most people are saying that, too! :)
It Would be nice That you update a video for excercises of streching That Help a raise the legs more.
I am following since Puebla México,
Congratulations :)
Dulce Mote I will! Thank you! :)
I love the workout style videos!
Kathryn I have a question I just got on pointe and it’s only when I get on pointe when it hurts in the back of my ankle. So I googled pain in the back of the ankle and posterior ankle impingement came up. Right away I knew it was posterior ankle impingement. What should I do though to take away the pain? Should I get an X-ray Will these exercises help me or will they help it go away? I know this is for strengthening but I wonder if you could help me
I love your videos Kathryn, thank you so much for sharing your insight and experience and making it accessible! I really love when you do the exercises with us in real time, but both options you're doing are fantastic! Thank you again! :)
Hi Kathryn, I am an older competitive adult figure skater. I am adding some ballet to improve my on ice performance. I have a high arch and I find that sometimes when I point my foot to stretch, it cramps up in the arch. Any suggestions as to the cause and how to prevent cramping? Thanks! I enjoyed your new video and the music was perfect!
Great video Kathryn✨. I loved the way u did the voice over whilst u did the exercises so if I have some time I can do this approx 8 min set of exercises that looked really great when u did them😀thanks!!! Xo Anastasia
I would enjoy a follow along video
I would like a follow along. Very good video.
This was really what i needed. Thank you!
I honestly love this video so much;)
Thanks, this is great, I've learnt a few more exercises that I haven't seen before. I'd find it helpful to have a list of the exercises that I could have beside me (perhaps a pdf, or a part of your blog that can be printed off ?), with a photo & brief description of each exercise as a reminder.
Great idea! I will do that!
I love your channel, you just got another subscriber
This is SO helpful! Thank you so much!
Could you do a video for girls who aren't on pointe yet? That would be so helpful.
