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
Your body is your instrument and how you fuel it matters. This course, led by expert performance nutritionist Jasmine Challis, is your no-nonsense guide to eating well, recovering fully and showing up strong every day.
Together, we’ll explore everything from what to eat before class to how to hydrate for stamina, recover well and build meals with the basics in your cupboard. You’ll get clear, evidence-backed answers to real dancer questions, like how to eat on a budget, when to reach for supplements, and what to snack on when you’re tired but still have hours of rehearsal ahead.
