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 course is your next step after the Beginner Ballet Basics Part 1. Whether you’re brand new to ballet or revisiting the foundations with fresh eyes, these classes are here to help you feel more confident in your body and clearer in your technique.
We’ll break down key positions, directions and steps, including linking movements and jumps, with Isabella’s meticulous attention to detail… and encouragement along the way. Each lesson helps you understand not just what to do, but why it matters for your dancing.
Build your toolkit, sharpen your transitions and take your next step with confidence.
