Ballerina Side Développé workout - improve height and strength

Hello Everyone!

welcome back to my channel!

Today I am going to be sharing with you a little snippet of one of my exclusive workouts on BWI ( Ballet With Isabella)

it's tough, it's mean and its really really good!
A strong body and hips for a dancer is imperative if you want results and want to dancer lighter, faster, cleaner.

When I worked on my core, and the correct muscles for developpê, which includes a lot of the deep rotators - my balance improved when in these extended poses as well as my height of leg and strength.

This is what this workout is all about!

Hi! I have been doing these exercices for a week now, and I already see the difference! I literally gained 3 degrees higher . Thanks!

Seems clear you love your art and to share it. Much of the progress an athlete makes in their sport or art amounts to the quality of instruction and support they receive from their coaches; or, as in your case - ballet master. I never realized how important nurturing the discipline of training is for the physical and mental strength needed to advance technically as a dancer. And, your dealing with girls and women all at different places in their lives. How you draw that out and motivate it is different for each dancer. There are priceless life lessons to be taught and learned from ballet training that a girl carries with her into adulthood. The trick to it all, as far as the dancer is concerned is to stay positive and keep focused.

I love this! I’ll be 60 soon and still do these types of exercises. Reminds me of such happy times as a younger woman.

Amazing follow along tutorial! I've been looking everywhere for this! Thank you!

[janetpasciak]

I’m in no way a ballerina nor want to be! Just an old lady here trying to keep flexible and moving. So thank you 😊

[out.of.nowhere]

Thank you!! I’m nervous to return to ballet in college after a long break, but this is a confidence boost!!

Hello Isabella. I hope your having a great day. This is a very helpful routine. Could you showcase a pointe/arch improvement routine for foot flexibility. I have a hard time pointing my toes in my gymnastics class when I do exercises like; L sits, leg raises, handstands, splits, etc. My feet are weak and cramp up. Also I lack in arches. Have a great day Isabella. Wishing you the best!🙏🙏
