About this Course

Fouettés. Love them or dread them, you can’t avoid them. This course breaks them down in three clear steps: barre prep, centre control and full turns with corrections. From finding your axis to learning the mental imagery behind 32 turns, Isabella shares the exact progressions she used to master fouettés with grace and consistency. You’ll feel stronger, more confident, and finally in control of your pirouettes.
