TURNOUT MISTAKES & HOW TO FIX THEM

[@Aeronamusic]

This was sooo helpful as a beginner coming back after decades. I had bad habits as a kid, too, and I never realized. =) I love your beginner adult classes and training. Thank you for your work!

I practiced ballet for 8 years, 24 years ago, and hurt myself really bad for making all of these mistakes. Thanks for sharing!!!

You’re welcome! So glad you found my channel!

This is so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for breaking everything down so clearly. I didn't even know I was over-rotating. I love how you explain how to identify the mistakes along with how to fix them. This is the most helpful video for turnouts! Thank you!

Your knowledge of anatomy and dance is on another level. I am so grateful I found you. I'm pretty certain you just saved me from a debilitating injury(s).

[@everydayballet]

I'm so happy to hear that! Ballet can be such a GREAT way to move, but it does take a bit of know-how. 🥰🩰🙏🏻

@Everyday Ballet I really appreciate your response! ❤️🥰 I was wondering if you think ballet would be good for someone with a weak joint that connects the tailbone with the sacrum? I have a rare injury that completely separated my tailbone from my sacrum, and after 5 years of physical therapy, I still have trouble walking without sharp pain in the tailbone area, except when I walk demi pointe. Demi pointe is the only way I can walk long distances without sharp tailbone pain.

[@everydayballet]

I don’t have knowledge of your specific issue, but I’d say Ballet is definitely worth a try since it may help strengthen, stretch, and align the structures around your sacrum. I would just encourage you to speak with your doctor and be mindful of your pain. 💗🩰🌸

​@@everydayballetThank you so much!! It is beyond kind of you to take the time to give me such a detailed opinion on my condition. The information you gave me is so helpful and not something I've been able to find online. I can't even explain how grateful I am. I wish you a very happy and healthy life ❤

I just had my first ballet class ever last Tuesday (at 34 yrs old) and I was constantly stepping and adjusting my feet.. I think because I was trying to prove to myself I could do it and in my mind if I wasn’t uncomfortable I wasn’t doing it right. Thanks for the video ❤

I have a question about the tucking your glutes and hips stuff, I have a really huge butt even at my lowest weight (45kg) and it causes me to be a little back heavy so I subconsciously started tucking mostly for balance. Does anyone with more experience have any extra tips on how to address the centre of gravity being a bit askew due to where my body deposits its fat? My dance history if it makes a difference: i did ballet for a year at age 6 but my unaddressed ADHD made it really difficult. I did "Creative Movement" in 9th form and we did ballroom, tarantella, contemporary, interprative dance, and i do skating and trapeze in my free time.

Hi and thanks for your question! It’s hard to give specifics without seeing the entire picture, but from what you have said, I would advise against tucking since this will ultimately cause the hip joint to be less resilient during movement. Generally, you will want to strengthen your core (especially your lower core below the navel). Whenever you are standing, you’ll want to reach along the front body from the lower core, extending out through the legs. This should help you stay more balanced by distributing force through the front of the body. From there you will always want to release your tailbone downward and keep your core engaging as your head floats upward. This placement will keep your posture elongated while stabilizing your weight and preventing the lower spine from tucking (which hinders fluid movement). I hope this helps! 🙏🥰🩰
