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
Strong extensions don’t come from forcing height. They come from the deep work. Using a glute resistance band, this class trains the muscles that matter most for turnout, stability and leg freedom.
You’ll build the connection between your core and psoas so your legs can lift without gripping, and strengthen the deep rotators, hamstrings and glutes that support arabesque, balance and control. It burns, but in that satisfying way that tells you something is changing. This is the kind of strength work that gives you height, clarity and consistency.
One class and you’ll understand exactly where extensions should come from.
- Resistance band training for targeted strength
- A deeper understanding of the core and psoas connection
- How to work muscles to fatigue safely and effectively
- Hamstring and glute power for balance and arabesque
- Stronger hips and core to support lighter, freer extensions
