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
If you struggle to feel your turnout muscles or keep relying on your hip flexors, this class changes the game. The ball behind the knee gives you instant feedback, helping you tap into the deep rotators that make turnout strong, safe and sustainable.
You’ll learn how to switch off the gripping muscles and activate the ones that actually create true rotation. It’s intense, isolating and incredibly effective.
Once you feel this connection, your turnout won’t just look better; it will feel easier, more controlled and more consistent across your dancing.
- How to connect deeply with the true turnout muscles
- Clear imagery to optimise both sides of the body
- Techniques for reducing hip‑flexor dominance
- A stronger, more functional understanding of turnout
