About this Course

Petit allegro is one of the most impressive parts of ballet class. Those small, fast jumps that catch the eye and lift the whole energy of the room. But looking effortless takes precision. In this course, Isabella breaks down the mechanics and musicality of petit allegro, showing you how to improve your speed, control and clarity. With drills and technical tips to build consistency, you’ll begin to land with that signature sharpness and agility petit allegro is known for. Mastering this takes work but it’s some of the most fun you can have on two feet.
