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

Class Info
About this Class
Inner thighs are one of ballet’s most essential yet most overlooked muscle groups. This class uses a pilates ring to strengthen the adductors, connect your turnout and support alignment in every position. You’ll also train the upper body for turns, building strength that complements your centre work. This workout is targeted, powerful and packed with the kind of cues that make everything suddenly click. Once your inner thighs wake up, everything changes.
