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

About this intensive

This level is for intermediate dancers 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.

This intensive is for intermediate adult dancers (18+).

You'll love this intensive if:

  • You trained seriously when you were younger and are now returning to ballet
  • You are coming back after a long break and rebuilding your technique
  • You are a committed adult dancer with a consistent training practice
  • You can take a full class with some complexity
  • You are comfortable moving at a quicker pace
  • You can adapt to combinations without needing step-by-step explanation

This Intensive May Not Be Right For You If:

  • You are still building basic coordination or stamina
  • You are new to full-length classes with centre work and allegro
  • You are still learning directions and terminology
  • You feel overwhelmed by faster-paced combination
