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
Mat Madness is back and better than ever. This high-impact, low-joint-stress workout focuses on strengthening the glutes, core and deep back muscles in just 15 minutes. You’ll feel the burn quickly and build lean muscle, all while reinforcing posture and alignment that translate straight into your dancing. It’s short, sharp and brilliantly efficient – the kind of class you can squeeze in before ballet, on your lunch break, or whenever you need a reset. No excuses. Let’s go.
