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 intermediate-level barre is designed to build strength, stamina and control, with a particular focus on long balances and musicality. Perfect for amateur adults levelling up or vocational students refining their craft, this class challenges your coordination and deepens your understanding of technique. You’ll be pushed to maintain turnout, alignment and precision as the combinations become more demanding – helping you feel stronger, sharper and more confident at the barre and beyond. A great class for those ready to dance with more discipline, artistry and control.
- Full-body strengthening through structured barre work
- Muscle stamina and endurance through longer combinations
- How to maintain turnout and alignment under pressure
- Musicality and phrasing in movement
- Drills that refine coordination, control and placement
