The Best Ballet Exercises for Core Strength

A strong core is at the heart of every movement in ballet. It supports posture, balance, and control - and it is just as vital for everyday life as it is for dance. Whether you are lifting a shopping bag or lifting your leg into arabesque, your core muscles are working hard to stabilise you.

These ballet-based exercises focus on deep core engagement: Strengthening not just your abs, but also the muscles that support your spine and pelvis.
