How-To Build a Ballerina Body

Years of daily training, sacrifice, toil. Sore muscles, bloodied toes, fractured metatarsals. These battle scars are par for the course for a professional ballerina spending 60 hours a week in the studio, and it’s all done in exchange for more precision, control, artistry on stage.  It’s no wonder ballet dancers are some of the strongest, most disciplined athletes you will ever meet!

So how do we recreate that extreme training and condense it into a workout that delivers pro level results – in just a couple of hours a week(!) – from home? That friends, is the secret to Ballet Beautiful and why our program has over a BILLION views worldwide, thousands of 5-star reviews, and is beloved by women all over the world.

Ballet Beautiful targets the ballet muscles that you probably did not even know you have – waking them up, strengthening, tightening, toning and lifting them. We use movements inspired by Ballet, high repetitions and almost no gear whatsoever to help regular women shape the elegance and strength of a ballet dancer, from the privacy and convivence of home. There are 4 key pillars to our training:

1. Stretching
Every ballet class and Ballet Beautiful workout begins with a stretch. Stretching allows us to open up and lengthen our muscles and release tension. In fitness, stretching is incredibly important because it helps to release tightness, stress in the body and stretch beyond our physical limits. Ballet Beautiful offers mini stretching throughout our workouts along with longer stretch videos and series like our Barre Stretch, splits tutorials and hip and back stretching.

2. Core
A dancer’s strength originates from a strong, lean core. At Ballet Beautiful we focus heavily on core work, strengthening and conditioning muscles deep through the abs, center and waist. These exercises not only help flatten and tone the stomach muscles, they assist with control, proper form and make executing more advanced barre, choreography and center work easier.

3. Legs & Booty
Ballerinas have some of the strongest, most beautiful legs of anyone you will ever meet. Our Ballet Beautiful workouts will help you achieve your longest, leanest, most toned and overall, best legs ever. This is our signature! From targeted mat workouts to barre, countless plies, low impact cardio and standing exercises, our program gives professional grade results.

4. Posture
A ballerina is instantly recognizable by her elegant, upright posture. Our workouts deliver superior posture work by strengthening key muscles through the center and upper body to hold your gorgeous ballerina posture in place, wherever the day takes you!
