This level is for intermediate dancers who already have a solid foundation and are ready to step into greater complexity, clarity, and confidence in their training.
At this level, we are no longer introducing the basics – we are refining them. You will be asked to think more deeply about placement, coordination, musicality, and line, while developing the strength and stamina needed for fuller, more demanding classes.
This intensive is for intermediate adult dancers (18+).
The Improver level is often described as Advanced Beginner. It is for adult dancers (18+) who already have some ballet experience and are ready to move beyond the basics into more continuous, demanding work.
At this level, we begin to connect technique across the whole body with greater clarity and speed. You will refine alignment, coordination, and musicality, while building the strength and control needed for more complex combinations. The focus is on understanding, consistency, and steady progress – not perfection.
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.

The Ballet Lab is back, and this year we are doing something new. For the first time ever, we are splitting into two dedicated age groups – a Junior Lab for dancers aged 10 to 13, and a Senior Lab for dancers aged 14 to 18 – so that every dancer gets the focused, personalised experience they deserve. The Lab is a welcoming space created for young dancers to experiment, grow, and discover what they are truly capable of, without the fear of making mistakes. No big group classes where you can get lost in the crowd. No pressure to perform. Just you, the work, and the breakthroughs that come when you finally get the attention and corrections you need.
The Senior Lab is three full days of deep, focused training for dancers who are ready to be challenged at a higher level. This is where you get into the details, the corrections that actually stick, the technique breakthroughs you have been working towards, and the space to grow as both a dancer and an artist.
A Vaganova technique class, technique deep-dives, pointe for those en pointe, repertoire, conditioning, and stretch.
The Ballet Lab is back, and this year we are doing something new. For the first time ever, we are opening it up to younger students, splitting into two age groups so every dancer gets the focused, personalised experience they deserve. The Lab is a welcoming space created for young dancers to experiment, grow, and discover what they are truly capable of, without the fear of making mistakes. No big group classes where you can get lost in the crowd. No pressure to perform. Just you, the work, and the breakthroughs that come when you finally get the attention and corrections you need.
The Junior Lab is designed for younger dancers who are serious about their training and ready to go deeper than their regular classes allow. We keep numbers small so Isabella can give every dancer her full attention, spotting the details, making the corrections, and helping each young dancer understand their own body and movement in a way that lasts. This is a judgment-free zone. There is no competition here, no need to prove yourself. It is simply a place to try, fall over, try again, and find your breakthrough.
In-depth technique classes, detailed personal feedback, conditioning and stretch, repertoire, and a confidence-building environment unlike anything else.
You have done the work to get here. Now it is time to go deeper, move faster, and demand more of yourself than you have before.
The Intermediate Intensive with ISABELLA is five full days of focused, high-level training for adult dancers who are ready to leave the basics behind and step into something that truly tests them. Sharper technique. Greater musicality. A standard that matches your ambition.
We invite you to watch the short video below from Isabella. It gives an honest and clear sense of the level and what to expect.
