About The Advanced 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 dancers with a strong technical foundation, whether you train with a company or independently as a freelance dancer. It is designed to stretch and challenge you, reflecting the demands of a professional training environment. It is ideal for advanced amateur adults, newly graduated students, and professional dancers, including those returning from injury or simply wishing to train with Isabella.

Our work together will be demanding, detailed, and purposeful.

This intensive is for advanced adult dancers (18+) who are ready to go deeper – both technically and artistically. It's challenging work in a space that supports you, lifts you, and leaves you feeling empowered.

You'll Love The Advanced Intensive If:

• You are serious about refining every detail in a positive, encouraging, and inspiring environment
  
• You have several years of consistent, high-level training
• You are an advanced amateur adult, graduate student, freelance dancer, or professional dancer
• You are comfortable with fast, complex combinations that challenge both body and mind
• You have the strength and stamina for long, demanding training days
• You are accustomed to taking advanced-level classes at your studio

Our work will be focused, encouraging, and purposeful.

You May Wish To Consider Another Level If:

• You are still building basic coordination or stamina
• You rarely work en pointe
• You have limited experience with beats or grand allegro
• You are still developing confidence with directions
• You do not yet have the strength for extended single-leg work
• You prefer a gentler pace and less challenge in the studio

Progress comes from training in the space that challenges you appropriately.

Schedule

The programme runs over six full training days, typically from around 9:00am to 5:30pm. High levels of fitness, technique, and confidence en pointe are essential, as pointe work is an integral part of the training.

Mid-week, we host an informal social in the studio after class at Rambert (Wednesday 26 August 2026*), offering time to connect with Isabella and your fellow dancers

Application Process

To create a space that feels high-level, focused, and supportive - where everyone can grow at the right pace, challenge themselves appropriately, and work to a similar high standard - we ask for a short audition video.

How To Apply

1. Prepare your video
Before tickets go live, film a 5-10 minute audition video. If you have a variation or repertoire you’d like to include, you are welcome to do so. 

Upload your video to YouTube and set it to unlisted, so it can only be viewed by us or anyone with the link.

2. Purchase your ticket
Tickets go on sale Sunday 1 February at 14:00 (GMT)

3. Submit your video link during checkout
Before you check out and complete your purchase, you will be asked to fill in a short form. This is where you will need to provide the link to your application video.
Important: Please include your video link at checkout. Without it, we will unfortunately need to void and refund your ticket.

4. Application review
Within 7 days of receiving your video link, we will review your submission and confirm your place. If we feel another level would support your training more effectively, we will reach out to discuss options (subject to availability) or offer a full refund.
