We're warming up
We're taking a short pause while Ballet With Isabella steps into something new. Same world-class training. A bigger mission behind it. This next chapter is about more than ballet. It's about how you train, and how you show up – in and out of the studio.
We'll be back soon. In the meantime... keep it moving
- 32 calf rises each leg! – keep it slow and controlled
- 30 glute bridges – lengthen through the floor
- 1 minute plank - embrace the shakes!
- 4 x 30 second balances in retiré each side – if you fall, we start from the top!
- Practice your pirouettes from 5th and 4th each side. Try each turn until you feel 1 percent progress
- An arabesque each side – master it, and make it clean
- 1 minute butterfly stretch – breathe, don’t force, keep your back long and actively push the knees out
This class mirrors a full ballet barre, but the difference is all in the shoes. Every plié, every tendu, every balance – now en pointe. You’ll move through a complete sequence that develops stamina, challenges control and sharpens placement.
Expect multiple relevés, sustained balances and combinations that keep you thinking. This is the kind of class that elevates everything: stronger ankles, smarter coordination and greater ease when you return to flat.
For advanced dancers ready to sharpen their edge.
