We're warming up
We're taking a short pause while Ballet With Isabella steps into something new. Same world-class training. A bigger mission behind it. This next chapter is about more than ballet. It's about how you train, and how you show up – in and out of the studio.
We'll be back soon. In the meantime... keep it moving
- 32 calf rises each leg! – keep it slow and controlled
- 30 glute bridges – lengthen through the floor
- 1 minute plank - embrace the shakes!
- 4 x 30 second balances in retiré each side – if you fall, we start from the top!
- Practice your pirouettes from 5th and 4th each side. Try each turn until you feel 1 percent progress
- An arabesque each side – master it, and make it clean
- 1 minute butterfly stretch – breathe, don’t force, keep your back long and actively push the knees out
Your core is your centre – and in ballet, everything stems from it. This class is designed to help intermediate dancers strengthen their deep stabilising muscles in a way that directly supports technique.
You’ll work through mat-based exercises that build control, coordination and true functional strength. The goal? A centre that supports turnout, balances your extensions and keeps your movement clean, calm and collected.
Expect exercises that challenge both your core and your concentration – and help you bring more power, more presence and more precision to your dancing.
- Core exercises that translate directly to ballet
- Increased control and coordination for pirouettes, adage and jumps
- Core endurance to support longer classes and rehearsals
- Functional strength to support posture and technique
- Stability that enhances movement quality
