Rosalía is giving fans another glimpse into the artistic preparation behind her evolving ballet journey.

The Spanish superstar recently shared a series of photos from a ballet practice session, showcasing her continued training as she explores the classical dance form that has become an important visual and conceptual element of her LUX Tour.

Her latest update quickly caught the attention of followers, and even earned a playful response from Miami City Ballet. "We see you Rosalía, season starts in October," the company commented beneath her post, seemingly approving of the singer's latest dedication to ballet training.

In the images, Rosalía is seen practicing en pointe inside a minimalist studio space, striking elegant ballet positions while wearing a soft pink halter-style crop top paired with loose gray warm-up pants.

The relaxed rehearsal look offered a contrast to the elaborate stage costumes featured throughout the LUX Tour, while still highlighting her growing confidence in classical technique.

Her beauty look remained equally understated. Rosalía wore her dark hair pulled into a messy high bun, allowing loose curls and wisps to frame her face. She appeared makeup-free or minimally made up, letting her natural complexion and focused expression take center stage during the training session.

Rosalía's latest ballet update earned attention from fans and even a response from Miami City Ballet.

The ballet-inspired aesthetic has emerged as one of the most unexpected creative directions of the LUX Tour. During the show's opening moments, Rosalía reportedly appears beneath the backdrop of a giant full moon before emerging from a large white box dressed in a multilayered tutu and pointe shoes.

She incorporates the visual language of classical ballet into performances of songs from the album, including 'Sexo, violencia y llantas' and 'Reliquia.' The imagery also draws inspiration from fine art, with references that echo iconic works such as Edgar Degas' celebrated sculpture Little Dancer Aged Fourteen.

Behind the ambitious production is an internationally acclaimed creative team. Rosalía oversees the artistic vision alongside her sister and longtime collaborator Pili Vila Tobella, while choreography is led by the French collective (LA)HORDE, Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer and Arthur Harel, who also serve as artistic directors of the Ballet National de Marseille.

The trio is known for blending classical ballet with contemporary movement, internet culture and digital-age storytelling. They previously gained worldwide recognition for their work as creative directors and choreographers on Madonna's 'Celebration Tour.'

Additional conceptual and dance direction comes from acclaimed Greek visual artist and choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou, whose theatrical approach helps shape some of the production's most visually striking moments, including the staging of 'La Perla.'

While Rosalía is not a professional ballerina, her latest rehearsal photos reveal a commitment to learning the fundamentals of the discipline. 

The choreography reportedly incorporates classical elements such as passés and arabesques, though the overall objective remains rooted in contemporary expression and theatrical storytelling rather than strict technical perfection.
