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 Class
If your balance wobbles under pressure, this is where you rebuild it from the ground up. This class is packed with classic Vaganova centrework that trains strength, placement and control.
We’ll test your stamina and stability with balances on demi-pointe, challenging direction changes and combinations that call on your focus and finesse. This isn’t just about staying still. It’s about becoming unshakeable.
