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

EP. 162 Day 3: Self Worth Tied To Decisions Out Of Your Control

Apr 29th 2026

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to this Dancer Reset Series Day 3!

You got the part, and you felt worthy. You didn’t get the part, and suddenly you questioned everything. Whether you’re good enough, whether you belong there, whether all of this is even worth it.

If a casting list has ever had that kind of power over how you feel about yourself, this episode is for you.

Today we get honest about what it really means when our self worth becomes dependent on external outcomes, roles, results, rankings, recognition. We talk about why the dance world makes this so easy to fall into, what it costs you when you live there, and how to build a sense of self that is solid regardless of what any list, any teacher, or any audition panel decides on any given day. You are not your casting. It is time to separate the two.
