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
Are you looking to improve your ballet turnout? Have you realised, after studying ballet for a while, that you may have limitations in your hip flexibility?
Turnout is a complex aspect of ballet technique, requiring not only deep rotator muscle engagement and sufficient range of motion but also a clear understanding of the sensations and imagery needed to access and utilise your turnout effectively.
As a young student, Isabella was told she didn’t have enough turnout. Refusing to accept this, she focused on specific ballet turnout exercises, becoming the best in her class at Vaganova. Defying the odds, she achieved perfect turnout and ultimately ranked as the top student.
You can improve your ballet turnout as well. With the right ballet turnout exercises and a structured guide, you can enhance your technique. Get organised and boost your turnout with Isabella’s expert guidance.
- Learn how to access your deep rotators
- Stretches for the hips and glutes to improve range of turnout
- Learn how to access the deep.psoas muscle which is critical
