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 tough 20-minute workout is your core-focused wake-up call. Ideal before class or squeezed into a busy day, it’s designed to fire up your abdominal and hip flexor strength without overcomplicating things. You’ll feel your centre switch on, your posture lift, and your whole body work in harmony – helping you dance taller, freer and with more control. No equipment, just smart, dancer-specific conditioning that gets results in a short window of time. It’s the perfect prep for class or a great way to re-centre when you’re on the go.
- How a strong core supports freedom of movement and ease in dancing
- Ab and hip flexor-focused exercises to build true strength
- Better postural alignment and body tone
- Conditioning that raises your heart rate without losing technique
