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
Join Isabella for a class grounded in the elegant discipline of Vaganova technique. This intermediate barre is designed for adult dancers with a solid ballet foundation, or vocational students looking to finesse their control, balance and musicality. You’ll work through classic combinations with added corrections and tips throughout, helping you dig deeper into turnout, posture and the nuances that elevate performance. It’s a challenge, but one that helps unlock the clarity and quality your dancing deserves.
- Vaganova-style combinations for strength and balance
- How to build foot, ankle and turnout stamina
- Tools for improving posture and control
- Musicality and phrasing in classical combinations
- Breathwork to support endurance and artistry
