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

About this Class
Get ready to feel the burn. This 15-minute Ballet Arms class targets the arms, shoulders, and upper back – all while keeping your core switched on. It’s short, sharp and perfectly designed to support the posture, placement and arm strength you need at the barre and beyond. Expect clear technique, no wasted movement and that satisfying ache that lets you know it’s working. If you’re looking for better port de bras or just stronger, more sculpted arms, this is your go-to.
