How to get PERFECT TURNOUT  

I think it's important to mention that genetics play a huge role as well. I do all of these exercises but have very bad turnout. My hips just don't allow my leg to turn that way.

I have been doing clamshells as a postnatal strengthening exercise due to a birth injury. I am not a ballerina but I started noticing I could suddenly turn my feet in ways that weren’t possible before pregnancy. I guess I know why now! 😂

But you are forcing your turnout.

AAAAA the first video clip 🤦🏻‍♀️ turnout comes from the hips, not lining your feet up first then trying to contort your legs into that position

The first one will damage the knee ligaments unless you are born with the natural turn out. The other two are safe. But go ahead and test it for yourself. Then, remember: "Told you so!"

Girl you were actually thinking about me. yesterday my teacher said that I can't move up to a higher level until my turnout gets better,

I think its important to note that "perfect turn out" is not sticking your feet in a different direction from your knees. That is known to cause major injuries. Turnout has to clme from the hip so thst your feet and knees can be aligned.

The first exercise is so hard for the beginners

The first stretch u shown has been known to cause loads of injurys and most studios don't even allow it anymore, the ither ones r fine tho

Thank you!!!

I’ve found that the consistency of a dancers turnout is far more important than their range. It’s about using what you have to your fullest ability.

I applaud the optimism my legs stretches that far!

I like how you also showed hip turnout exercises since not everyone's anatomy allows for feet to face a different direction then the knees.

I have a 180 turnout but it’s not comfortable!

⚠️

When I do first position I can’t even put both of my knees together for some reason, my leg doesn’t work that way & I keep getting told I don’t stretch enough but I truly just

This only works if your hips/bones are actually made for 180.

Thank you for this! Also, do you have any pointers on how to make sure you're turning out from the hips and not knees to protect your knees?

THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS ❤

Sorry but your skiiiin omg 😍😍
