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 Vaganova-style centre class is designed for dancers who are moving into intermediate level work or refining their technique. Expect a steady pace with exercises that focus on linking steps, holding balances and building stamina across adage, pirouettes and allegro. It’s perfect for dancers building confidence at this level or professionals looking for a lower-intensity day to stay sharp. The combinations are deceptively simple, with just the right challenge to make every correction count.
- Exercises to refine pirouettes, adage and allegro
- How to link steps cleanly and efficiently
- Core strength and control for balances and transitions
- Increased stamina and technique under pressure
- Tips to improve extension and artistry
