Your Arabesque Plan

YOUR ARABESQUE PLAN.

MADE FOR YOU TO UNLOCK YOUR POTENTTIAL

Plan Overview MESSAGE TO YOU

It’s all about consistency. Tiny daily efforts add up.

Let’s get to work

GOALS IN THIS PLAN

1. Improve foundations of muscle connection 2. Enhance the back and core strength 3. Increase Arabesque alignment and height OVERVIEW

FIrstly thank you so much for showing such keenness to get your arabesque better. Your dedication and commitment is what is going to take you to the next level. I am here to help you get there.

Within this plan, we will be working on all the key areas for arabesque. Firstly starting with slignment using floor barre. Without training the turnout and alignment we can’t acheive the muscle connections we need to do a basic tendu, let alone a beautiful Arabesque.

Then we will take things up a level, and work on our strength and flexibiliity both in the core and back.

As this is a general level plan, some exercises may be hard for you. please modify where needed and work your way up.

To access this plan, start a free trial on the BWI platform for a soloist memberhsip. You will get two weeks absolutely free which will give you lots of time to master consistency.

TIME COMMITMENT

This plan consists of 5 days of training: one and a half hours each. Please make sure to warm-up before each session (try my Foam Roller Routine)!

Improving arabesque takes time. It’s not just about “lifting the leg higher” but refining the entire body coordination — back, hips, arms, turnout, and supporting side all working together.

⭐ Tips:

Record yourself weekly to track shape, line, and balance.

Train both sides equally.

Don’t sacrifice technique for height — form comes first.
