Train Like a Ballerina is not a generic fitness app with ballet-inspired branding. It is a specialised ballet strength and conditioning platform built specifically for dancers.

Every workout, exercise, and structured program is developed using sports science principles and designed for the physical demands of ballet — including turnout control, extensions, pointe preparation, jump mechanics, and injury resilience. The training is created in collaboration with professional ballerinas and qualified health experts to ensure it supports real performance, not just aesthetics.

Programs have been tested by dancers at different levels around the world to ensure they are practical, progressive, and effective inside a dancer’s weekly schedule.

You’re also not training with anonymous instructors. The sessions are demonstrated by elite ballerinas, giving you the opportunity to train alongside professionals and learn from dancers who understand the demands of the art form.

The result is structured, science-backed ballet conditioning — built for longevity, strength, and performance.

Most sessions require little to no equipment, making them easy to follow in your living room, studio, or while travelling.

Each session clearly outlines any recommended equipment in advance, so you can prepare your space and train with confidence.

Beginner dancers can start with foundational Base Programs and progress gradually as their strength and mobility improve.
