This is a barre for beginning level ballet students of all ages! In this class, we move very slowly and methodically and work on placement, strength, musicality, and technique. However this is also great for advanced dancers who want to work on basics! So pay attention to placement throughout the workout.

Hello! I discovered your channel a few years algo while I lived in Africa. I lived in a small town with bad internet so I actually downloaded a few of your videos. I love your explanations, your lifestyle videos and how you fight to promote a healthy body image. I live in Brussels now but after a knee injury the doctor told me I needed to be very careful. I signed up to a gym to strengthen my legs progressively. I started with pilates, yoga and aquagym. After a few months I found out that my pilates teacher also gave ballet. Since he knew about my injury, he actually allowed me to attend his ballet class and also gave me tips like no more than a demi plié, no jumping and no one foot balance. Since the confinement started, I started doing your easy ballet barre, pilates total body work out and 20 minutes leg tutorial every day. Thank you for this video!!! It's exactly what I need, specially, with the explanations about the steps on the side. Sorry for my mistakes. English is not my first language.

@esstown 4 года назад

Important point for beginners: when she turns towards the barre she does not mean for you to do the same. Stay square, stay sideways to the barre and keep your leg behind you when going to the back. She does it to help you see her back leg (and to avoid the wall). There ARE advanced movements involving turns to or away from the barre but this is not what she intends here. (For an example of how such turns really can be used see Kathryn Morgan's intermediate/advanced barre rond de jambe exercise. Cheers!

I used to study ballet seriously back in the day and I really enjoyed this class. My only requests would be to allow more time between the transitions from one side to the other so we at home have time to swing our chair around and get ready. Also, if Kathryn would use the proper ballet terms and names more frequently it would help beginners learn them, and old timers keep track of the steps.

I can't recommend it enough as I practice her beginners' workout daily. I accompanied and composed for ballet for many years, including the Florida Ballet Arts School under Lynn Winslow and the Eddy Toussaint Ballet. Ms. Morgan. I feel, is up there with the very best.

@BoglimWrangler666 4 года назад

i am impressed with the notes you said about "pressing into the heels" and pressing down in the slow plies, not many people know how important it is to have strong resistance in plies, it is the building block to good technique really

@esstown 4 года назад

Yep! Without this resistance in the plie we have no shock absorption for landing or coming down out of anything. This resistance keeps us safe, and is much of what creates the illusion of effortlessness and weightlessness, which is the essence of classical dance.

The steps are clearly explained and are challenging without being difficult, the piano music is lovely and varied, the pace is excellent, and the delivery is helpful, engaging and has a lovely personal touch. Once I can perform this workout with slightly more flair, I shall be checking out the others on this channel. A huge thank you to you, Kathryn Morgan, for going to the trouble of recording your videos purely for the benefit of people like me.

Hi Kathryn, my mom has Parkinson's disease and loves her ballet as part of her exercise regime, unfortunately the lockdown and closure of schools has meant she was unable to go to class and felt that many online barres were too advanced.

After my second attempt, today I finished this class. I'm 50 and just started ballet classes 3 months ago. Kathryn:Thank you so much for this fantastic class. I feel so good !

Wasn't doing Ballett since 15 years and I was not that bad with that Workout. Was really good and fun. I still love dancing

@bubu12333 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this! You lift the weight off my shoulders and make me feel so joyful to just dance! Back when at class i personally felt so pressed to do better that i couldn't, in effect, enjoy myself. Here, i can work my body and celebrate the small improvements. You gave me back the good part of ballet!

@KO-uy1gr 4 года назад

This is exactly the beginner barre I was hoping for! My ballet studio does only one adult beginner class/week on Zoom and with so many security issues on Zoom I prefer RU-vid. Love this so much, Not too easy, not too hard, just perfect :) thank you Kathryn!

I took ballet classes as a child, but always felt discouraged in my classes. I was not the most graceful or flexible child, and the other girls in my classes used to pick on me. I have always wanted to get back into it to help with my joint problems as well as just keeping me active in an activity that I enjoy. This video really challenged me, but is a perfect video to help us get back into it. I feel incredible, and I'm healing my inner child. Thank you!

Loved this class, thank you so much! Your level of detail and the speed was perfect for a beginner like me, I'd definitely follow along if you did a whole series. Appreciate you making these for us

@charlotsart 4 года назад

Thank you for this video, I did ballet for over 13 years and had to stop when my teacher died and I started university. I watched your pointe video's a few years ago and this makes me want to find a studio again where I can dance again

As someone who is really uncomfortable with exercise, and with 0 dance experience, I really enjoyed this! I'm going to be honest, I didn't make it all the way through (my hips are so tight!) but I will definitely be back to go through it again!

@KikiAelita 3 года назад

What are you doing to help loosen your hips? I'm having real issues with that and my thighs.

@halleneyens9856 3 года назад

@@KikiAelita I've been doing a lot of Yoga with Adriene videos to do hip openers: lizard, pigeon, cobbler's, and frog poses have been particularly helpful!

Thank you so much! 😍 Can't wait to do this tonight! With all these online classes I feel even busier than before 🙊. (Not that it is more class than normal, but planning for the classes in between work takes time 😅)

@lisayoung3130 4 года назад

I’m loving your barre class! I’m in Russian ballet but I do what looks familiar and you say everything that my teacher says about the energy going up and down and Elbows up! I can’t do all of it but your classes are making me stronger And I can do better plies including Grand plies and my balance is improving ! It’s helping to stay in good habits during quarantine and helping With ballet withdrawl!!!!

Thanks a lot! I've been training with your videos for quite a while now. I've never taken ballet (except for a few classes as a exchange student), but I am hoping to join a dance society next year at uni. Your videos are really helpful! Could you do a very basic beginner centre workout? (I find the beginner centre video you have a bit too challenging for me)

@sophiex363 4 года назад

Me: please no more fifth position I’m dying Kathryn: *I’m about to end this mans whole career* Ok but seriously can someone please explain to me how one does fifth position?? My feet just dont bend that way whenever i try it looks like some deformed mix between third and fourth position

@Elizabeth-lv5dj 4 года назад

Sophie X As far as I know it’s very similar to third position but the right foot in the front is tucked in further than in third. Be careful so you don’t hurt yourself 😅 I’m struggling with those dang leg raise things myself, any of the exercises where you have to raise your leg to your hip I’m so struggling.

@edelinet 4 года назад

Turn out develops slowly for adults - so don't push your feet into fifth if your hips aren't loose enough. You could hurt yourself. The turn out needs to be from the hips, the knee caps aligned above the direction your toes are pointing... Go slow!

@ginaferrara4230 4 года назад

I do everything in third if fifth is the starting point. It’s literally impossible to keep a strong fifth as an adult. Your hips are set in place. Don’t feel bad. Eventually it will seem like less of a stretch.

@chasegoodridge8967 4 года назад

U need to start in third

@alexiaalexanderwight1199 4 года назад

You don't need to be as turned out as she is! If you're standing in first, you basically just move your front foot forward so your heel is touching your toe joint. It's totally fine if the angle between your feet at that point is like 90 degrees or even less, that flat fifth only comes with YEARS (or even decades) of training! (Apart from a few lucky souls who just have naturally great turnout hah)

@Marta44339 4 года назад

Thank you very much for this excellent class. I was an adult ballet student for 15 years. I searched youtube for quite a while for the right level class. Your beginner level was still a definite challenge for one who hasn't taken class in 20 years, and s also over 65! It was exhaustipating -- but exhilarating! I'll be back.

@alma_najem 4 года назад

How do you differentiate between a Demi-plié and a grande-plié in second position?

@kathryn_morgan 4 года назад

Grand plié is a little bit deeper! ❤️

@alma_najem 4 года назад

Kathryn Morgan thank you! ❤️

@BoglimWrangler666 4 года назад

your demi should be fairly shallow, with knees pressing to the side with resistance, while grand is just all flexibility

@esstown 4 года назад

My ballet master (who is also a kinesiologist, lucky me!) explained it to me this way: In 2nd position, the demi is about half as deep as the grand. The main point of the grand plie in 2nd is turnout. So here is when you zero in on pressing your knees HARD towards the back, i.e. towards whatever wall is behind you. Open the book as wide as humanly possible as seen from the front! Then as you enter the grand keep holding this backward pressure towards the back wall as you go deeper. The grand should go as deep as you can without raising the heels. This works on your turnout strength in a more abducted hip position. Some people, who have limited plie due to inflexible ankles STRICTLY due to front lip of the leg bone (tibia) approximating against the top lip of the ankle bone (talus), which cannot be changed without surgery, are recommended to allow their heels off the ground slightly, at the very end of their grand plie in 2nd, so that they may engage their turnout in the full range intended by the grand in 2nd, hence not missing out on the benefit.
