Does it take like 20 years to build turnout? Mh. Or do you have to “work with what you have”? Hm. Fact is that most adult ballet starters have more turnout potential than they are currently using, because they don’t understand the proper movement pattern yet! This guide will provide some helpful background to understand the concept of “turning out” and five activation exercises to “switch on” turnout right before ballet class. Over time, these exercises will help with building more turnout range and with maintaining it throughout classes and performances!
