Improve ballet turnout moves by laying on the back with the feet together, allowing gravity to pull the knees toward the floor and opening up the hips. Remember to breathe during turnout stretches and avoid painful stretches with help from an experienced dance instructor in this free video ballet lesson.

  • That's my chill position both ways...we do these a lot at my dance school I love it

  • wing, dont sickle xox

  • Turn out can only be improved so much by stretching. Stretching helps but if you aren't born with it you can never achieve flat turn out. Having said that, you don't NEED flat turn out to dance ballet (but it helps) and not all professional dancers have flat turn out either, they are just good at making it look that way. Ballet should be taught by a teacher in person to be learnt correctly though. And stretching too. To prevent injuries!

  • @frootloops116 Happened to me! PAINFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL :p haha

  • @WesleySalvatore u focus on stretching and u forget to breathe, happens to me alot, i gotta change that though lol

  • what you really need is a merciless teacher to push down your knees or sit on your butt. super effective.

  • how can you NOT breathe ?
