About this ballet feet exercises course
If your feet lack strength or flexibility, you may encounter several issues:
Difficulty getting over your pointe shoe or getting up on pointe at all.
Appearing pulled back in your shoes.
Low demi pointe, sickled feet, weak toes, ankles, and poor foot alignment in jumps and extensions.
This isn’t an ordinary course!
Isabella understands these struggles firsthand. As her feet grew quickly during her youth, she lagged behind in ankle and toe strength. Her teacher used to say her feet looked like flippers when she jumped and sickled when she came out of a turn.
Improving foot strength and flexibility requires consistent work. Through these strategic exercises, stretches, and proper techniques, as demonstrated by Isabella, you can develop strong feet with beautiful, supple lines.
That’s what we all desire, isn’t it?
If you’re here, it’s no accident. You seek to enhance your feet like never before. You’ve come to the right place.
Achieve the amazing feet you’ve always dreamed of! Start now

Having feet trained to work like our hands will give you strength to keep your toes long, power in jumps and relevés as well as having an aesthetically pleasing line. Enjoy your first lesson.
Hеre is where we will get in to the key stretches I want you to learn to uncover your highest arch. Practice these stretches daily and you will see improvements in your arches and line of foot! Once you combine the strength elements with the flexibility elements. Everything will start to come together. With stretching we must be consistent. If you practice regularly, you will see results!
