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
Is your pirouette hit or miss? Mine used to be too. Until I spent hours in the Vaganova studios drilling turns over and over. It became normal for me to do four or five pirouettes from fourth. I want that to feel normal for you too.
In this course, I’ll share all the tools that helped me get there. From building the right muscle connection to perfecting coordination and alignment, we’ll cover the exact corrections and concepts you need to make consistent turns a reality. We’ll also explore the inner world of pirouettes. What do you think about right before a turn? What do you feel in your body mid-rotation? I’ll show you. You can improve your turns. It starts here.
- How to activate and strengthen the key muscles behind your pirouette
- Drills for cleaner, more confident turns from 4th and 5th
- Strategies to improve your coordination and centering
- Mental focus techniques to use during the turn
- What’s actually happening in a great pirouette and how to get your body to do it too
