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 is the final part of our Ballet Variations Series. And we’re going out with a bang.
Inside, you’ll learn three incredible solos: Dulcinea from Don Quixote, the Medora garden scene from Le Corsaire, and the timeless Giselle Act 1. These are variations that challenge your technique, your artistry and your stamina — and in each lesson, Isabella shares what makes these solos so special to her.
You’ll get detailed insights into performance style, interpretation and execution, plus the tiny technical details that bring these iconic roles to life. Watch, learn and dance along as Isabella passes on what was passed to her.
- Technical breakdowns of three famous solos
- Performance insights from Isabella’s own training and experience
- Coaching on nuance, interpretation and musicality
- How to tell a story through movement and line
