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
Ready to take your pointe work to a new level of strength and stamina? This guide is for you.
Across four focused weeks, you’ll build the power, control and precision that make advanced pointe work feel grounded and free. Expect targeted conditioning to train your feet, ankles and legs to work smarter and harder, plus centre combinations that challenge your technique and keep you accountable.
This is where strength meets artistry. Whether you’re coming back after time away or looking to level up your training, the Strong Pointe Advanced Guide will push your limits, build confidence and set you up for whatever comes next.
Let’s go get it.
- Build foot and ankle strength to support consistent pointe work
- Train the muscles that power turnout, lift and balance
- Improve alignment and stamina through high-rep barre work
- Progress pointe combinations in the centre for full-body strength
- Develop resilience through consistency and structure
