Course outline
About this course.
Is your arabesque low, stiff or weak?
Can’t feel the right muscles to get your leg aligned behind you and high?
The HIGHER ARABESQUE Course is here for you!
Arabesque was something Isabella spent hours and hours perfecting.
It’s not just about the back. It‘s a lot more detailed than that!
Isabella will share what got her the highest arabesque in her class at Vaganova. People actually gasped when she did some of the legendary barre exercises. They would come up to her afterwards commenting on her arabesque!
Now it’s your turn!
Start today. Suitable for all levels
Course breakdown.
In this lesson I will be sharing my favourite exercises with the aid of a foam roller and a theraband. We will be on the floor throughout the lesson. All these exercises will get your back and core beautifully strong. Having a strong back and core is critical in order to get the height of arabesque you desire.
In this lesson we will continue with more exercises on the floor and standing now with no aids . The exercises will be a little bit more challenging but will get all the correct muscles firing and working in order to get us a nice and high arabesque.
In our final lesson, we will be looking at the all important stretches we need to do to get our back beautifully flexible. Do these stretches carefully. Some of the stretches are more advanced, take your time, go slow and you will gradually improve your back flexibility with these key stretches.
Meet your teacher.
