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
Whether you’re aiming for deeper turnout or simply want to feel more mobile, this class helps you release tension in the hips and unlock greater range. Using intermediate stretch techniques, Isabella guides you through exercises designed to lengthen, open and align. It’s ideal for mornings, evenings or anytime your hips feel stiff. Expect a focus on breath, placement and gentle strength to support flexibility that lasts. These stretches also support extensions, turnout and general ease in movement – essential for dancers who want their bodies to work with them, not against them.
- Targeted stretches to release the hips
- Improved turnout through mobility
- The right placement for deep, safe stretching
- Breathwork for deeper release and focus
- A routine to feel open and ready for class
