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

In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with Precious Adams, First Soloist with English National Ballet, to talk about the powerful mindset shifts that have shaped her journey on her way to the top of her profession.
Precious opens up about:
- Her rise through the ranks at ENB and the lessons learned along the way
- How her mindset evolved to embrace confidence, resilience, and self-belief
- Why dieting doesn’t serve dancers as athletes — and how she built a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food and body image
- The importance of balance on the path to success — both physically and mentally, how it’s impossible to be in shape all year round
- Why there’s room for all of us to succeed in the ballet world
If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, body image, or the pressure to maintain “peak shape” all year round, this conversation will bring clarity, hope, and practical advice to help you thrive both on and off the stage.
Listen now to discover how Precious redefined success on her own terms — and how you can, too.
