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

About this Class
This steady-paced intermediate barre is all about refining your foundations. Expect long balances, focused technique and just the right level of challenge to push your strength and precision. The combinations may be simple on the surface, but they’re built to test – and improve – your placement, turnout, and musicality. Great for adult dancers, vocational students, or anyone transitioning up from beginner level and ready to take their training deeper.
