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 isn’t just floor barre, it’s a strategic tool for turn technique. Using the wall as your alignment partner, this class gives you immediate feedback to help reinforce turnout, pelvic placement and length through the legs.
By grounding these fundamentals, you’ll build the muscle memory and control needed to hold clean, centered pirouettes. Expect subtle shifts in awareness and major gains in consistency and confidence.
This is the kind of practice that rewires bad habits and sharpens your edge for centre.
- How to feel and train the length and opposition of the legs for stable turns
- Ways to maintain deep turnout under pressure, even mid-pirouette
- Pelvic alignment and spinal length essentials for clean, centred positions
- How to build muscle memory for a strong, secure pirouette shape
