OK NO PROBLEM ✨ VAGANOVA  ADAGE 😅

What I love about the vaganova method and teachers is the way it pushes you to your limit. I never thought before I went to Russia that I would be ever capable of this. 

Surround yourself with people better than you and don’t place limits on yourself! 

You can do it!

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DEATHLY ADAGE ✨

Vaganova adage is very hard and needs to be so precise. Here working my BFF and getting her legs stronger. We love pushing each other. We laugh, we work hard and we have fun.  Find those teachers and friends who push you further! 

In all honesty I used to HATE adage. My legs were crying having to try to hold them up, shaking and sweating like a pig ( similar to Jessie at my intensive 💪🏻) it’s so so hard. 

Are you a sweater?? 💦 I sweat SO much in class.

It’s so worth it though because in the end I absolutely love adage and it’s so enjoyable to watch when you have the strength, flexibility and freedom of movement to do it! 

Keep working hard people 💪🏻 

Can you relate to the STRUGGLE? COMMENT BELOW 👇 

Let’s get there together 🤍

WE ALL HAVE THAT LEO THAT “HELPS” CLASS 😅✨

I used to have very very specific leotards I would wear for class - so much so I really believed I would do a better class and I often did!! 

It goes to show, it’s not about what you wear but how it makes you feel! Do you feel confident in that outfit today? Do you feel inspired to be the best dancer you can be. 

I think if a leotard or outfit makes you feel confident then go for it! 🤍

And don’t worry - Suvi likes to be pushed too 😉

MY VAGANOVA DREAM ✨LIFE DOESN’T ALWAYS GO TO PLAN ✨

my dream when I was a child was to go to the vaganova Academy. I obsessed over it. 

Throughout my entire training, I would watch YouTube videos of my favourite ballerinas every evening.

I had a Russian coach on the weekends, I was working seven days a week. 

When I finally got there, I thought everything was going to align and everything would work out. But my body shut down, it was put under a lot of strain, and I didn’t know how to fuel myself properly or recover properly or trust myself properly. 

I was so worried about wasting time and worried about not getting good enough that I worked myself into injury.

That was a huge wake up call but I learned so much and that and learn the power of conditioning. 

After everything I came back stronger, but then injured myself again!.

My point is here hold onto that end goal, hold onto that dream even if it’s not smooth sailing to the top if you keep that will inside you to keep going into reach that goal you will get there.

RUNNING IS HARD AS A BALLERINA : TIMING 🩰

Running is not just a matter of looking good. Often we are also running to a corner where we need to prepare which is a matter of timing, good presentation of arms and legs  all whilst not looking rushed. 

This is what we were working on here 😊

Do you struggle with runs?

DID YOU REALLY DO A BALLET CLASS? 😅

While I do love barre workouts ( I used to teach amazing office ladies in their lunch break when I first started my teaching journey ) and gosh were those legs shaking!!! 

I’ve seen a lot of posts on how ballet is the “easy” thing to do between barre and ballet. Ballet is SOO much harder for many reasons, number one being the precision and technique needs to be so precise, aesthetically beautiful and easy to watch! We can’t show effort. It’s next level hard which is why it takes so long to master. 

I love both things but I suggest if you haven’t tried ballet try it! It’s so fun, rewarding, artistic and extremely technical and if you get the ballet bug, it’s all consuming and you will never look back! 

Come to class sometime ❤️

Or join me online 💅

I COULDN’T RESIST 🩰✨ ADAGE IS DEATHLY 

There’s nothing like a hold of the leg that feels like days. 

I have strong memories of having to hold my leg for days on end in my classes since I was 9 years old. 

It was so hard and I really didn’t enjoy it but it set me up with my strength for when I eventually got my flexibility to lift my legs higher. 

In my intensives it’s not about height of leg but it is about finding the correct alignment of the leg and then holding it to build strength!

FOCUSED EYES MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE ✨

Having focused eyes makes a huge difference when you dance. This can be trained and should be already in every class exercises you do. It’s not something we add on later so much. We think about it NOW. 

Not only does it look confident but it looks so much better. It gives intention to all of your movements AND it actually helps you do the movements better anyway! 

Original video by @andrejko.epta - we had so much fun. Pinned in my feed.

NOTHING HE COULD DO ! ✨🩰 

In this conversation with Chun Wai Chan, available on Spotify and YouTube. He shared one of his amazing stories where his legs cramped so much he couldn’t continue. 

This was so refreshing to hear as this show definitely wouldn’t be classed as perfect in his eyes however he fully accepted there’s nothing he could do and life goes on! 

A lesson all dancers need to hear

BASED ON A TRUE STORY… 😅✨

When I first saw someone stretching like that I thought ok…. I have a long way to go 😂

Firstly I’m not advocating this kind of teaching at all. What made my teachers so good at VAGANOVA was their honesty, blunt feedback and attention to detail and perfection. 

In ANY school you can get teachers who don’t know the boundaries and take things to far and if this post gets thst conversation going then good! 

Luckily I haven’t had any “mean” teachers just tough ones with kind hearts ❤️

BALLET IS SO HARD ✨ VAGANOVA ADAGE 👇

My life used to flash before my eyes In adage 

In all honesty I used to HATE adage. My legs were crying having to try to hold them up, shaking and sweating like a pig ( similar to Jessie at my intensive 💪🏻) it’s so so hard. 

Are you a sweater?? 💦 I sweat SO much in class.

It’s so worth it though because in the end I absolutely love adage and it’s so enjoyable to watch when you have the strength, flexibility and freedom of movement to do it! 

Keep working hard people 💪🏻

BALLET DANCERS ARE DIFFERENT NOW 💪🏻✨

I think nowadays we value so much our health and longevity both in our career and life. 

Injuries and setbacks can change our lives and so we act from a place of much more gratitude now. Not only this but we want to be as great as we can! We want to have energy, we want to improve, we want to grow and we want to have the strength to do so. 

Keep looking after yourself, your mindset, your health, conditioning and enjoy your life while doing it! That’s something I think we all still need to work on! 🙂

WE CAN IMPROVE. LET’S TRY ✨ 

This post is about improvement. You don’t need to become super flexible. In the Russian school it was favoured. I wasn’t flexible so I put some effort in to stretch as I wasn’t. Surprisingly I improved a lot! 

This is not to say everyone will get super duper flexible but I think everyone can improve in their own way, and do what works for them with the right guidance around you and safely. 

I get so many comments saying, it is luck and some of us can’t do that. It wasn’t luck nobody believed in my skill, that nobody thought I’d have enough turnout. It wasn’t luck I decided to improve it. 

I used to look at Svetlana Zakharova and think, no way will I be like that. I accepted it. For a while. But then I decided to try. 

You can do the same, for turns, for jumps, for studying !! Yes there’s genetics that help. But hard work helps more. Let’s focus on improving, the rest will come. 

If you knew the amount of stretching and conditioning I did… the hours alone. You wouldn’t call it luck. 

As adults we place so many learned limitations on ourselves from our beliefs and surroundings. 

We rationalise our way out of situations, out of being able to do something. Balet aside it can be anything! 

I dare you to dream big and go after what you want! 

You’re going to do great this week 💪🏻🤍

3 THINGS FOR TRIPLE PIROUETTES ✨💪🏻

When you start to do multiple turns - there is more than just a sense of balance. 

We have to find - Dynamic, maintain out alignment throughout ( keep working everything ) and understand where force comes from without losing our form. 

When we understand, we can practice and try to train these muscle patterns so we can repeat it again and again! Therfor getting consistent. 

If you do 3 good turns randomly but don’t know why they worked, therefor can’t repeat them then this is the tip for you! 

Part of being consistent is being knowledgeable and practiced enough! 

Save this and come back to it when you’re struggling with those triples 🤍

WHAT IS A WINNING BALLET VARIATION? 🩰✨

I once met a student ( she wasn’t my student ) who couldn’t understand why her variation didn’t win, she was so fixated on winning, and showing off the melt technique, that when someone ‘won’ with a somewhat, on the surface, ‘unimpressive’ variation, she couldn’t wrap her head around it. 

Well this ‘unimpressive’ variation, showed so much. Star quality, control, musicality, aplomb, dynamic and maturity. 

I thought this was yet another great lesson for younger students. Tricks don’t equal better. 

I remember Plisetskaya once said, 
“I danced white swan, and nobody asked what this was about, I danced Don Q and suddenly everyone asked, they were impressed by the fouettés, but this is just tricks, it’s not art, and if I wanted to do tricks I probably should do them better and do 100 fouettés” I am roughly translating, but it’s a good message to hold on to. 

Let’s remember that. 

Of course there are some amazing variations, that require more tricks, but that’s what those are tricks, while they are important to do well they aren’t the everything…otherwise dance becomes very boring suddenly.

HOW CAN WE MAKE ADAGE EASY ✨

Growing up, I wanted to have easy, free legs to lift. 

I honestly thought I would NEVER have legs like Svetlana Zakharova but then one day, I decided not to give up. I knew I had to work harder. In class I tried my absolute best. 

When I moved to vaganova I was so intimidated by the level of adage the other girls had. It looked so easy, I thought will I ever get there?!

I conditioned, I pushed through the long holds and I stretched. I went from the least flexible where I still couldn’t do the splits at 13 to becoming insanely flexible. 

It’s not enough to stretch, you need the right alignment, 
and strength in the body to access your core and turnout which will help you get the higher legs you desire! 

For more, join our platform for tons of guided classes and courses to help your adage.

SYLVIE HAS  MY BACK ✨🙏 WHO IS YOUR QUEEN? 

Growing up I always looked up to these two as my idols ( I have a few more but I adore these two ) 

I used to be compared to Sylvie even just facially, when I was younger and she was younger we looked actually really similar 😅

I thought wow I want to have legs like that one day. Not just for the beauty of the leg extentions but the freedom of the legs. 

This post is all about believing in yourself!! I started with no leg extentions and people saying I was so stiff for ballet. I refused to believe it and I worked my butt off!

I managed to get to a high level of ballet and flexibility! 

Now I’m here to help you do the same but first it’s time to believe you’re capable of what you want 🙌💪🏻

Not just for the beauty of the leg extentions but the freedom of the legs. This post is all about believing in yourself!! I started with no leg extentions and people saying I was so stiff for ballet. I refused to believe it and I worked my butt off! I managed to get to a high level of ballet and flexibility! Now I’m here to help you do the same but first it’s time to believe you’re capable of what you want 🙌💪🏻 ———- BALLET WITH ISABELLA Your Secret weapon to excellence Classes, Courses, Plans, Intensives ——- #idols #icons #flexible #believe #justdoit #arabesque #balletcoach #ballet #worldwideballet #vaganova #ballettips #balletlessons #balletteacher #balletlessons #balletwithisabella #mindset #dontdoubt
