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 entry into ballet technique, taught with care, detail and energy. Isabella breaks down each position and movement so you understand exactly what to do and why. From first plié to grand battement, you’ll get to know the basic foundations that underpin everything else in ballet. Whether you’re brand new or returning from a break, this is the place to rebuild your confidence and fluency. And by the end? You’ll complete a full beginner’s barre, knowing exactly how to approach each exercise with strength and intention.
- All the key positions of arms and legs
- The fundamentals of barre technique
- How to connect movements into a full class
