About The Beginner Level

We invite you to watch the short video below from Isabella. It gives a clear and honest sense of the level and what’s expected.

This level is for adult dancers (18+) who are relatively new to ballet – with around two years of experience and training at least once a week – as well as those returning to ballet as adults, or anyone with a small amount of experience who wishes to build their training properly from the ground up.

At this level, we lay the foundations with care and intention. You will learn how to stand with correctness, move with clarity, and coordinate your whole body with purpose. We build the strength and awareness that support confident, healthy movement, step by step. The focus is on precision, understanding, and steady, safe progress – so you can develop in a way that truly lasts.

You’ll Love the Beginner Intensive If:

• You are serious about improving technique and want to do so in a supportive environment.
• You want to master your foundations of ballet, get stronger and develop your style. 
• You wish pre-professional intensives extended to adults as well, getting attention you deserve. 
• You want to build community with other dancers who are passionate about ballet and becoming the best dancers they can be.

This Intensive May Not Be Right For You:

• You have never taken ballet before or are an absolute beginner. See balletwithisabella.com for our Absolute Beginner Course!
• You are looking for drop-in classes or a part-time workshop (this intensive is a full 5 days).
• You aren't interested in focusing on the minute details of technique.

Schedule

The programme runs over five full training days, typically from around 9:00am to 4:30pm. No prior pointe experience is required - this level is designed for beginner dancers and focuses on building strong foundations, confidence, and body awareness.

Mid-week, we host an informal social in the studio after class at Rambert (Wednesday 15 July 2026*), offering time to connect with Isabella and your fellow dancer.
