About this course.
Welcome to the Advanced Pointe course!
This course is designed for the advanced student and company member. Designed to really challenge and refine your technique as we test your technical skill in the centre.
Starting with conditioning exercises and feet tips from Isabella, followed by a challenging pointe barre. We then delve into the centre where the real challenge comes with Vaganova exercises Isabella would typically do daily.
If you can achieve these clean and well done you are well on your way to great technique.
Let’s get going!
Course breakdown.
An introduction with Isabella and her students welcoming you to the course. Isabella and the girls will share their personal preferences with their pointe shoes, padding and sewing along with what’s to come. Let’s begin!
Lesson 1 of this course will introduce you to key exercises on the floor with the theraband and pilates ball. We will then stand up and do some lower leg stabilising exercises and drills to increase strength of the ankles and calves.
In this Lesson we will be doing some advanced exercises at the barre one after the other. Challenging exercises such as fondu, ronds en l’air and adagio.
The final lesson. This is where the challenge really kicks in. We will be doing dome technically challenging combinations with turns, grands pirouettes, hops on pointe and more. Finishing with a segment from Grands Pas Classique to really get the strength and stamina up! Let’s go!
Meet your teacher.
