I am a former ballerina 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!

I hope you can make a video for warm-up or stretching
+Sammi Chow I will!
I think it will be great and you videos are very helpful to me . Such as the video about turns,it helps me alot
I was wondering if you could do a mat Pilates video that we could do at home.
+Mimi Schmidt Yes! Fantastic idea thank you!
I really loved this video! It is great and the standing exercises i’d never heard of before have been really helpful! I was wondering if you could do a back strengthening and loosening workout for getting a higher arabesque as i really struggle with arabesque and keeping them square- thank you 🙂
I love your videos! They are so insightful! Could you please do a video on how to improve extension–I have decent flexibility, but when I do a develope my leg is barely above 90*. If I really try to push the hight I feel like I am gripping and my quads want to take over. How can I overcome this? Thank u!! A general flexibility one, and how to improve arabesque would be appreciated also!:)
thanks so much for uploading this video! can you do one for inner thighs as well? my teacher tells me turnout and inner thighs are interconnected and its difficult for me to work both turnout and inner thighs when im weak at them both
+Daff OOn Yes! Most definitely.
Thank you!
im so glad I found your channel. I stopped ballet for two years and i lost all my technique and strength… it was a mistake to stop especially cuz i want a career :/ your videos are going to help me so much!!! THANK YOU for making videos <3 im working hard everyday
I am not a ballet dancer, I am Irish dancer, but we too have an unhealthy obsession with turn-out. I found these exercises SOO helpful. So, here’s the Irish dancer endorsement on this video: I, as a competition Irish dancer, approve this message. 🙂
ghillies4life I am also an Irish dancer and I struggle with turnout so I will have to try this
Even after doing these exercises daily for three days, it’s really helped me open up/loosen up my hips so much! Thank you!
+Resistance I am so glad this has helped!
Kkkoikl
I needed this so bad coming back to ballet!
I absolutely love all of your workouts! I’ve been doing your 20 min. leg toning video everyday – in addition to these technique-related workouts, such as this one – I’ve noticed SUCH an improvement in my technique overall. The information you give us throughout all of these workouts is so valuable, even those tiny adjustments you suggest for stretches I’ve done for years – it makes ALL the difference! Plus, you’re a very kind and sophisticated young lady – thus; I never grow tired of following along with your videos. I am so grateful for your help & for being such the ideal role model to me and obviously so many others! Thank you Katie!
i love you so much your helping me so much
Hi! I just wanted to ask if your feet are somewhat flat? Mine are and I just like knowing that maybe a dancer as amazing as you has feet like me. It kind of gives me hope lol!
My gosh I just did this workout once and my turnout has improved so much! Thank you Katie!
Please do a warm up for stretching video
if you are curvier with bigger thighs, does that greatly impact your turnout?
Regina Cameron I gained so much weight I’m not curvy I’m fat and I’m still turning out.
I did this once, and I already noticed a HUGE difference in my turnout. Even my fondues and developés(?) got so much better! I did this today and I’m so excited to see how much I will improve ?? gonna make this part of my routine for sure ??
I love your videos!! Every time I have a ballet problem/question, I immediately check to see if there’s a Kathryn Morgan video on it. XD
Thanks so much for all your help! I’m going to start doing these exercises every day starting today! 🙂
When I do hip circles, my hips crack or like I hear bones moving and it’s a tad painful. I’m assuming my hips are really tight??
Brenda – go to a chiropractor and get a placement done, it really helps (or ask anyone who went to school in that field)
Please could you do another (sorry!) video for improving flexibility of feet, how to do it really fast?
My hips are open, but I’m a not turned out
