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
The quiet hero of ballet training. Linking steps are often overlooked, yet they hold the power to elevate or unravel everything that follows them. When done well? They add flow, artistry, and readiness for the big moments. When neglected? They make even the best jumps look clumsy.
In this course, Isabella shares what Vaganova training revealed to her: these steps matter. With detail, clarity and tons of repetition, you’ll transform your glissades, pas de bourrées and more from forgettable filler to polished preparation.
This is your invitation to level up the often-unseen. And let every step you take speak volumes.
- How to make tricky linking steps look seamless and refined
- When, why and how to use arms, head and breath for flow
- The timing secrets behind glissades, pas couru, and tombé
- Step by step foundations that improve your whole technique
