Now I'm recovering from a rotator cuff surgery and needed something to help along my recovery. I'm doing these in a very cramped area of my bedroom with a cane to hold on to. Your videos have been helping my shoulder recover very quickly, and I'm getting a good workout in the process. Thank you so much for making these!

    This barre has helped me improve SO MUCH in class, it's amazing! My alignment and stamina has improved and my teacher has noticed the difference, i do this barre a couple of times a week as well as some of the other barres (with or without holding on). As a late starter to ballet, I believe this is crucial to catching up to my classmates!

    Hi Kathryn! I can't wait to try this new barre... I'm an adult dancer (44 years) and I was left without any ballet classes back in March. After two days sitting in my sofa, I bought a standing barre for my living room and I've been doing your classes ever since! For me ballet means happiness and sanity, so thank you for your help in keeping both for the last 6 months... I just listened to your interview with Jim Nowakowski and was sad to hear about your experience with MCB this past year. But after following your story for a few years now I can only say: you rock girl!!!

    kathryn Morgan I feel so proud of myself. but a bit teary. I am an ex professional dancer and now 52 years old. I was never at your standard but I too contracted an autoinume illness Type 1 diabetes when I was 26. I went undiagnosed for years becasue, people thought I was anorexic. I was very ill by the time I was diagnosed after being rushed to hospital (the doctors told me that I had staved the illness off because of the amount of dancing I was doing. They also told me that thanks to my fitness and strong heart I survived. However it was devasting for me and for 15 years I did not want to be engaged in any type of dance because I knew I could not regain the standard I was at. Eventualy I could no longer resist the magic that is ballet.. So here I find myself taking your beauctiful classes and watching your exquisite technique.via video Thank you for sharing your troubles and for your classes . Love to you

    This is a fantastic barre! I’m way old and don’t teach or perform anymore so I am grateful that you have shared so much ballet with the world. Your comments during the exercises and your energy takes me right back! When you were doing the battemants I heard my own teacher in my head “fast up! slow down!” And the releves at the end, savage! I would 💯 recommend this video to any person who wants to grow their strength, balance and stamina.

Just completed it and - ok my technique was far from perfect - but I'm super happy with myself, as I didn't struggle as much as I thought I would! Also Katie's words of encouragement and enforcement ('don't grab onto the barre!') always seem to come at just the right moment! Thank you so much Katie! xx

  • @elizabethhorn976
    @elizabethhorn976 Před 2 lety +1

    Good class. I almost don't want to add anything, but: the head is heavy, and therefore moving the head uses more abdominal muscles than anything! Everything here can add head movements, simple: head to the side when legs are front and back, and head front when going to the side. Head to the side in port de bras to the back. Just that and the arms and legs start to become super strong together without being stiff. Otherwise, great choice of exercises! If somebody has a soft floor, they should add jumps in the last exercise, fast then slooooow, which are harder!

Now, I just did this whole barre and my legs feel great, and without the barre wasn’t too bad! Of course, I realize I should probably practice letting go of the barre randomly throughout combos😂. Also, I thought it was funny frappes without barre were strange, cause I do them daily in centre, I guess this proves that has helped my balance a lot😊. Thank you!!! 😄

Really enjoyed it and will do it again. Thank you!

    I *love* making my students do center barre - they groan, but ultimately they admit how much it helps improve both technique and strength! And, yeah, calves on fire! I'm stealing that... 😆

    Hi Kathryn! Greetings from the Dominican Republic! I have been following you for almost two years now and been doing your barres and centers and I absolutely love them! This one is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I could do it almost to the very end (couldn't do the last 32 fast relevés cause I almost die with the first 32 😜) but still it was very eye opening with how much I rely on the barre! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and classes! Love you! ♥️

    I'm 47 years old, have a shoulder injury so I can use just one arm. And made it to the end. YESSS! Still got it.

      And thank you. In The Netherlands/Amstardam we still can't dance in the studio :-(

    I will be coming back to this video until local studios open up. Carpet makes tendus without the barre so much harder! But also, my balance has stayed much more intact than I thought (probably thanks to some virtual Horton classes). Thanks as always, Katie, for giving us quality, accessible, free dance content!

    I think this was an amazing barre class❤ my feet died just in a great burnout the last minute. Will repeat it over again🎉

    So glad we sometimes do no barre. We usually do it after we have done the exercises a few times already so we don't have to think about what the exercises are. It is so hard, but also a reality check that we are relying on the barre a bit too much sometimes.
    Thank you for this video!

      I started my dance journey with contemporary not ballet and we never used the bar, so this is quite familiar to me.

    Just did this barre on pointe...
    I'm not dead yet :)
    I Love how I can feel the improvement with this one - only three exercises in and my placement is way better and everything is engaged. It's wonderful how Kathryn's dancing and teaching is inspiring instead of making me feel bad about myself :))))
    Love it, Thank you!!

    Thank you so much for the constant motivation and encouragement throughout the barre! I almost quit after almost every combination, but you kept telling me to keep going. If KATHRYN MORGAN believed in me, why didn't I? I'm so glad I stuck with it the whole time. Thank you!!!!

    I never did ballet myself, only did colorguard during my 4 years of HS while having a huge love for ballet. I remember in HS, I did your barre videos to build strength and flexibility for my activity and even after I graduated this spring, I still follow your videos to keep myself in shape since I only do work and my classes now. I decided to try this last night and holy hell it was a workout I was not expecting but it was a great workout, one I haven’t had in a while. I’ll be doing this one again when I’m not sore lol
    Just wanted to say that I love your videos and you as a person, and your videos reach and help beyond the ballet community, even if it’s just me lol 🥰

    Oh Kathryn, thank you so much for all you do to keep the ballet community going. I have met you a couple of times at C Squared in Spring, TX and it was an honor for my daughter to attend the Ballet Intensives that were offered. Sadly, the studio was one of the affected ones due to the pandemic and they had to closed its doors. We are living in difficult moments right now. I just took this class and I’m so proud to say that I stayed until the end! Wishing you the best always. Thank you so much, you are truly an inspiration. ❤️❤️❤️
