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 full-body ballet conditioning workout is all about smart, focused effort. You’ll work the glutes, hamstrings, abs, back and more – strengthening muscles essential for stability, posture and precision. With minimum impact on the joints and maximum burn, it’s the perfect class to build strength without strain. Ideal as a warm-up or stand-alone workout when you’re short on time, Mat Madness helps you feel aligned, centred and strong. You’ll move through intentional sequences designed to lengthen as they strengthen, making you feel more ready than ever to dance all out.
