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
This is where your training gets serious.
You have done the work to get here. Now it is time to go deeper, move faster, and demand more of yourself than you have before.
The Intermediate Intensive with ISABELLA is five full days of focused, high-level training for adult dancers who are ready to leave the basics behind and step into something that truly tests them. Sharper technique. Greater musicality. A standard that matches your ambition.
About This Level
We invite you to watch the short video below from Isabella. It gives an honest and clear sense of the level and what to expect.
This level is for intermediate adult dancers (18+) who already have a solid foundation and are ready to step into greater complexity, clarity, and confidence in their training.
At this level, we are no longer introducing the basics. We are refining them. You will be asked to think more deeply about placement, coordination, musicality, and line, while developing the strength and stamina needed for fuller, more demanding classes. Our work will be focused, encouraging, and purposeful.
- Five days of technique, pointe, repertoire, deep dives, conditioning, and stretch.
- Exclusive ISABELLA Apparel.
- Mid-week studio social.
- Official photos of your time with us.
- A last-day performance for your friends and family.
You'll Love This Intensive If:
- You trained seriously when you were younger and are returning to ballet with real commitment.
- You are rebuilding after a long break and ready to push your technique forward.
- You have a consistent training practice and can take a full class with complexity and confidence.
- You are comfortable moving at pace, adapting to combinations without step-by-step explanation, and being challenged at a high level.
This Intensive May Not Be Right For You If:
- We want every dancer to be in the right room.
- If you are still building basic coordination or stamina, or finding your feet in centre work and allegro, the Improver Intensive is a stronger fit.
- Progress comes from training in the space that challenges you appropriately, and we will always point you in the right direction.
Application Process
To create a space that feels high-level, focused, and supportive, where everyone can grow at the right pace and work to a similarly high standard, we ask for a short audition video before your place is confirmed.
How To Apply
Step 1 – Prepare your video.
- Before tickets go live, film a 5 to 10 minute audition video.
- If you have a variation or repertoire you would like to include, you are welcome to do so.
- Upload your video to WeTransfer or YouTube (set it to unlisted), so it can only be viewed by us or anyone with the link.
Step 2 – Purchase your ticket.
- Tickets go on sale Monday 20th July 2026.
Step 3 – Submit your video link at checkout.
- Before completing your purchase, you will be asked to fill in a short form. This is where you will need to provide the link to your audition video. Please do not skip this step. Without a video link, we will unfortunately need to void and refund your ticket.
Step 4 – 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.

The Schedule
The intermediate intensive runs across five full training days, typically from around 9:00am to 5:30pm. A high level of fitness, technique, and confidence en pointe are expected at this level.
Mid-week, we host an informal social in the studio after class, a chance to connect with Isabella and your fellow dancers away from the barre.
Please note the schedule shown is a guide and subject to change. Your final schedule will be shared with you ahead of the intensive.
