Forget the frog stretch - the best way to improve your turnout is strength! Improve your turnout and generally improve your dancing with this simple but super effective hip strengthening exercise. This is the first of two exercises that focus on building strength in the deep hip rotator muscles, which are absolutely crucial for dancers of all genres. Your hip muscles need to have super control and strength for pretty much all choreography, from achieving great turn-out to powerful jumps to sky-high extensions. There is also ample evidence to show that strong hips are the best way to protect your knees, ankles, and back, as well as your hips, from pain.
Lie on your side with your knees and hips bent to 90 degrees. Tie a theraband around your legs, just below your knees. Lift the top leg and slowly lower. Don't let your hip roll forwards or backwards.
