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
If you’re working towards clean, consistent pirouettes from 4th, this 10-minute class packs a powerful punch. Isabella breaks down the technique, imagery and exercises that helped her master this turn – giving you a toolkit of strategies to build strength, balance and coordination. Whether you’re working on your first single or building to multiples, this class offers the foundation for turning with confidence and clarity. Practice, repetition and smart cues will help you feel the difference. Keep turning up – your pirouettes will thank you.
