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
If you want higher side extensions, this class is your blueprint. Over 20 focused minutes, you’ll train the muscles that matter most for développés to the side, including the glutes, obliques and deep core. We’ll build strength, placement and control, working to stabilise your torso so the leg can lift without gripping or tipping. Expect burn, challenge and a noticeable difference when you commit to this consistently. Want a real test? Do it twice. Your hips and core will thank you, and your développés will show the results.
- Improve alignment for cleaner, higher extensions
- Strengthen glutes, core and obliques
- Learn to use the hips without gripping
- Build torso stability for controlled leg height
