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
The Strong & Mobile Programme is a curated series of five targeted classes – Lower Body + Core, Upper Body, Lower Body + Core 2, Full Body Power, and Mobility – designed to strengthen every area a dancer needs to excel.
Each class combines intelligent strength work, dancer-specific biomechanics, and mobility training to help you build a body that supports technique rather than limits it.
This programme moves beyond “generic workouts” and gives dancers a structured way to build real, functional strength that directly translates to the studio
- Develop balanced, functional strength that supports your whole body, helping you move with more ease and control throughout long classes and rehearsals.
- Improve posture and alignment, allowing you to maintain lift and stability without unnecessary tension or strain.
- Increase muscular endurance, so your body stays consistent and responsive from warm-up to final run-through, not just at the start of class.
- Reduce fatigue and overuse, building the resilience needed to handle high training loads without feeling worn down or depleted.
- Enhance overall power, coordination, and body awareness, giving you the physical foundation to express artistry with confidence and efficiency.

Is this course for me? Yes if..
- Dancers who want to build strength to support their technique, posture, and overall performance quality.
- Those seeking better endurance and less fatigue during class, rehearsals, and long training days.
- Dancers wanting to introduce strength training into their routine
- Anyone wanting to improve stability, mobility, and body awareness to feel more confident and capable in their dancing.
Look for another course if...
- Dancers currently managing acute injuries or conditions that limit weight-bearing or strength work.
- Complete beginners who have not yet established foundational technique or body awareness.
- Those who are pregnant or postpartum unless cleared for loaded strength training and experienced with it.
- Anyone looking for a ballet-style workout rather than structured a strength session.
- Individuals seeking gentle, low-intensity movement instead of a programme designed to build measurable strength.
