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 much-requested class brings your pointe work into the centre. You’ll focus on building strength in the feet and legs with lots of relevé work, while also developing the control, core strength and alignment needed to balance and move confidently off the barre. Isabella combines classic drills with more dynamic movement, helping you transfer your weight efficiently and feel supported from the ground up. It’s ideal for dancers who’ve done a fair amount of pointe and want to take things further – or for those looking to refine and condition their centre work with smart, structured repetition.
