Isabella

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.

BWI - Isabella dancing

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

You'll love this intensive if:

This intensive is for advanced adult dancers (18+) who are ready to go deeper – both technically and artistically. It’s challenging work in a space that supports you, lifts you, and leaves you feeling empowered.

  • You are serious about refining every detail in a positive, encouraging, and inspiring environment
  • You have several years of consistent, high-level training
  • You are an advanced amateur adult, graduate student, freelance dancer, or professional dancer
  • You are comfortable with fast, complex combinations that challenge both body and mind
  • You have the strength and stamina for long, demanding training days
  • You are accustomed to taking advanced-level classes at your studio

This Intensive May Not Be Right For You If:

  • You are still building basic coordination or stamina
  • You rarely work en pointe
  • You have limited experience with beats or grand allegro
  • You are still developing confidence with directions
  • You do not yet have the strength for extended single-leg work
  • You prefer a gentler pace and less challenge in the studio

How to Apply

Step 1 – Prepare your video

  • Film a 5-10 minute audition video. If you have a variation or repertoire you’d like to include, you are welcome to do so.
  • Upload your video to YouTube and set it to unlisted, so it can only be viewed by us or anyone with the link.

Step 2 – Submit your video link during checkout

  • Before you check out and complete your purchase, you will be asked to fill in a short form. This is where you will need to provide the link to your application video.
    Important: Please include your video link at checkout. Without it, we will unfortunately need to void and refund your ticket.

Step 3 – Application review

  • Within 7 days of receiving your video link, we will review your submission and confirm your place. If we feel another level would support your training more effectively, we will reach out to discuss options (subject to availability) or offer a full refund.

Questions about the video or process? Email events@balletwithisabella.com – we’re here to help.

The Schedule

The programme runs over six full training days, typically from around 9:00am to 5:30pm. High levels of fitness, technique, and confidence en pointe are essential, as pointe work is an integral part of the training.

Mid-week, we host an informal social in the studio after class at Rambert (Wednesday 26 August 2026*), offering time to connect with Isabella and your fellow dancers.
