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
Petit allegro is one of the most impressive parts of ballet class. Those small, fast jumps that catch the eye and lift the whole energy of the room. But looking effortless takes precision. In this course, Isabella breaks down the mechanics and musicality of petit allegro, showing you how to improve your speed, control and clarity. With drills and technical tips to build consistency, you’ll begin to land with that signature sharpness and agility petit allegro is known for. Mastering this takes work but it’s some of the most fun you can have on two feet.
- How to build consistency and speed in petit allegro
- Exercises for control, precision and musicality

Lesson Breakdown
Petit Allegro Course
Is this course for me? Yes if..
- You want your petit allegro to feel punchy, clear and quick, not muddled or heavy.
Look for another course if...
- You’re after big jumps or leaps. This course is all about sharp, detailed work in smaller steps.
