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 Guide

Are you being held back in your ballet training by tight hips, stiff hamstrings or a stop-start stretching routine? I created this guide for anyone who wants to feel looser, freer and more confident in their dancing without needing to be naturally flexible or spend hours stretching every day.

With step-by-step classes focused on hips, hamstrings, spine and full-body release, we’ll build consistency, deepen flexibility and support your technique along the way. You’ll feel the difference in your alignment, placement and power.

And it only takes a few minutes a day.
