Three studios.
Three days of filming.
One extraordinary ballerina.

A small glimpse behind the curtain of what it takes to build a Master Trainer program inside the Train Like a Ballerina app.

🎬 The full behind-the-scenes film is now live on YouTube: Train Like a Ballerina

13/03/2026

Building a program inside the Train Like a Ballerina app is a process that takes years.

It begins long before the cameras come out - with collaboration alongside leading sports scientists for dancers, studying the biomechanics behind the goal and designing the most effective way to train it.

From there comes the meticulous work.
Every exercise is carefully selected.
Every movement is tested.
Every description is written so dancers understand exactly how to execute it.

Then we begin filming with our Master Trainer Iana Salenko.
We spent a full day capturing her 150+ exercise library for the app.
The following day was dedicated to filming the follow-along workouts, recording an interview with Iana, and capturing the photography you see throughout the program.
Then came an entire day recording guided training audio, so every exercise can be coached step by step inside the app.

After filming finishes, another major phase begins.
Uploading every exercise into the backend.
Building the workouts.
Assembling the full program.
Testing and trialling it with dancers.
All so that when it finally reaches you, it delivers the most intelligent and effective training possible for dancers.

This process has been unfolding for the past couple of years.
And on Wednesday, we’re incredibly excited to finally release it to you with the launch of the Higher Extensions Program inside the Train Like a Ballerina app.

Tomorrow we’ll also be sharing a full behind-the-scenes video on our YouTube channel, giving you a glimpse into what it takes to bring something like this to life.

For years, dancers have been told that higher extensions come from stretching deeper.

Oversplits.
Theraband tricks.
Forcing the leg higher.

But extension isn’t built through passive flexibility alone.

It comes from strength, control, and training the right muscles in the right way.

That’s exactly what we’ve built with Iana Salenko.

Inside this 6-week science-backed program, you’ll learn how to train extensions the way professional dancers do. Developing hip strength, standing leg stability, active mobility, and the control needed to actually hold your leg in adagio.

Alongside the program, you’ll also gain access to:
• Iana’s personal pre-warm-up, warm-up, and cool-down routines
• 150+ dancer-specific exercises designed to build stronger technique
• guided workouts that teach you how to execute every movement correctly

This isn’t about forcing range.
It’s about building extensions that are higher, stronger, and sustainable for your body.

The program launches Wednesday inside the Train Like a Ballerina app.

Early access is now open. Link in bio.

For a long time, the knowledge behind elite ballet training lived behind closed doors.

You only had access to it if you were in the right school… the right company… with the right teachers.

Everyone else was left guessing.

At Train Like a Ballerina, we’re changing that.
Our mission is simple: to become the place dancers come to for training that is correct, science-backed, and designed to actually get results.
Because today there’s more information about ballet training than ever before.
But more information doesn’t mean better training.
There’s noise everywhere.
Flashy exercises.
Trends built for social media.

At Train Like a Ballerina, we do something different.
We focus on what actually works.
And very soon, we’re welcoming our newest Master Trainer widely recognised as one of the greatest ballerinas in the world today.

Can you guess who she is?

Hot take: If your turnout hurts your knees, it’s not “working.”
It’s compensating.

True turnout comes from the hip socket.
Not torque at the knee.
Not twisting from the foot.

When strength is missing,
the body borrows rotation from somewhere else.
That “somewhere else” will eventually complain.

Build the joint.
Protect the chain.

Start training correctly inside our Train Like a Ballerina Base Programs full progressive structure from beginner to advanced, designed for dancers who want longevity.

Turnout that lasts the whole variation.
Not just the first 8 counts.

Are you struggling to get into your middle splits?

They’re one of the most challenging positions to achieve and not because you’re “tight,” but because most dancers are taught to stretch without building the strength to support it.

That’s exactly why we created Middle Splits Mastery.

A six-week, science-backed progression, tested and trialled by dancers of all ages and levels around the world.

This isn’t about forcing your way down.
It’s about opening the hips intelligently, strengthening the adductors, and protecting your knees and lower back-so you get there faster, safer, and injury-free.

The payoff?
Deeper turnout.
Stronger extensions.
More power in jumps.
Cleaner more beautiful lines.

Program available in the app
Start your 7-day free trial and begin your journey to middle splits-done properly.
