About this Course
In Part One of this variations series, we take on four of the greats: two versions of Paquita, Kitri’s Wedding, and the emotionally rich Nikiya from La Bayadère. Each variation is a full world in itself – packed with technical challenges, character, musicality and fire.
Whether you’re training for stage, competition, or just for yourself, these solos will demand your all and give you back so much more. Isabella coaches you through every detail, from port de bras and style to stamina and presence, showing you how to refine, rehearse and perform. Let’s go beyond steps and bring these characters to life.
