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

I was told I didn’t have enough turnout. As a student, I could’ve let that limit me. But instead, I put in the work, learned how to train the deep rotators, and became the top of my class at Vaganova. That’s the power of targeted, consistent training.

This guide is for dancers ready to take turnout to a more advanced level. We’ll target the right muscles, learn how to execute with more precision, and build the stamina to stay turned out when it counts. You’ll sweat, stretch, stabilise, and build habits that last.

No frills. No hoping it’ll click. Just clear tools and structure to take your turnout up a gear and into your dancing.
