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.

Q&A with Isabella: Do you have to be extroverted to be a dancer?

Jun 19th 2024

Welcome to another session of Q&A with Isabella!

In today’s video, Isabella shares insights on ballet training, emphasizing the importance of practice, time management, and self-care to improve technique and cope with a busy schedule.

Other topics include:

  • Practice and conditioning sessions are essential for improvement.
  • Strategic planning and deliberate practice are key to quick progress.
  • Being confident, not necessarily extroverted, is crucial for dancers.
  • Utilizing online courses and workouts can be a secret weapon for improvement.
  • Maintaining communication with loved ones through Skype can provide comfort when away from home.
  • Turnout, foot flexibility, and other technical aspects can be improved through targeted courses and exercises.
  • Regular self-assessment and adjustments to routines can lead to noticeable progress.
