Katie: I wouldn’t recommend doing this before class Me : (doing it before class) 👁👄👁

[@lindseybelsky4065]

I have done this everyday for a little over a month and it has helped SO MUCH

[@jinathompson7781]

Could you tell a difference in your 5th?

[@jdutka13]

hi! *please* answer my question: did it improve turn-out/rotation in your releve? I REALLY need help with that and want to know if this video helps

[@kaitlynshen8798]

@@jdutka13 I know I'm not the one you were asking, but I've done these exercises for a while now and it definitely helps in releve! but having the correct foot placement definitely helps with that too!

[@jdutka13]

@@kaitlynshen8798 thanks!

[@beverlythebird5040]

How much? I desperately need help

[@LinaSingers]

Exercises start at 6:01 or 7:30 and Stretches at 16:04.

[@thefullenergychannel2879]

sometimes it's best to listen to what is said in order to understand the exercises it could save you time which you're trying to save by not watching it in the long run

[@LinaSingers]

The FULL ENERGY CHANNEL The timestamps are for people that are rewatching and have already memorised / implemented the tips 🙃 I've done the video over ten times total and I also skip depending on workouts or barre classes I've done before on the day.

[@thefullenergychannel2879]

Alright I understand now, you must have made a lot of progress then how's it coming along as you split improved

[@sofiel3348]

thank you so muchhhhhh

[@taylorzhou1289]

Two weeks ago, when I first started this exercise, I literally could not find the wrapping feeling. But now I can easily find it!

[@ZarriahRose]

If you’re like me and you repeat this work out a lot (or daily) here’s a handy timestamp: 6:34 is after the intro if you’ve already watched it a few times and just want to start into the exercise and follow along :) Thank you for making these, they’re helping me train up my strength between injuries when I have to take weeks off from class. I’m laser removing a tattoo so I have to take 3 weeks off at a time sometimes because my foot is so injured and can’t point but this work out helps me keep a little turn out so I don’t feel completely exhausted and depleted when I finally go back! ❤️ I’m reconnecting with my love as an adult after some really hard life incidents forced me to walk away from professional dancing in my first year working and now at 21 I’m trying to build up strength to try to dance again after a couple years off intense training and it can feel so intimidating so having exercisss to do at home can be a way to get the foot back in the water so to say 😂

[@eddie1975utube]

I’m a karate black belt and have been on an almost decade long journey towards greater flexibility, mobility and form. I’ve always felt like dancers knew something we don’t. I think these will help me tremendously so thank you!

[@ameliaford782]

my lockdown goal is too get half decent turnout and I’ve been doing this and seeing progress!

[@anissahenrichs9945]

This helped me learn the difference between tucking and jamming. In my studio our teacher says to tuck our booty under and I was always overdoing it to the point of it not being sustainable, now I’m “tucking” properly. She says tuck to get us to engage our muscles not jam

[@laneycheyne5862]

I’ve been doing this for 5 days straight now and I’m feeling much stronger

[@laurels495]

Thank you for all the great exercises! As someone who tore an ACL after years of forcing turnout...I want to say yes, yes, yes to using the correct muscles and working with good placement.

[@kaykomckayface1097]

I just left comments on some videos about turnout lol. Thank you Katie for being honest about not being born with a flat turnout. You gave me hope girl!! Love you! !

[@kathryn_morgan]

Of course! Definitely not a natural turnout girl haha

[@rekahunyadi8420]

you gave me hope too🙃 i dont have either and i feel really bad about it that it is the only thing why i cant be a ballerina but seeing you being comfortable about it and knowing that you are a soloist really makes me less alone and gives me hope that maybe my i can make success

[@PrismCasillica]

I was thinking of doing barre and found this on accident. And it's a good thing I found this! I thought you had to jam your feet together. Thanks for saving my knees. ❤

[@Poppy-]

Your explanations are so thorough. What you said about the turnout, my 1st teacher said: heart shape buttock and "spiraling" the muscles, but your explanation is more accurate. NO JAMMING. This is a perfect complement between classes.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@G_Alli]

I’ve done this exact video for a few week and my improvement has gotten so much better it’s insane.

[@danimolusco]

I'm not a dancer but I'm hypermobile and have been having trouble with glute weakness and unstable hips, and this helped so much, especially the exercise before the rond de jambe, i hadn't felt that kind of activation from any other exercises

[@lexie_ballerina4155]

MY TURNOUT HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH THANK YOU KATIE ❤️❤️❤️🩰🩰🩰🩰🩰❤️❤️❤️ i have been struggling with my turnout for years then I found this and I have been doing it everyday and it works so well! Thank you so much Katie! ❤️🩰🩰🩰🩰🩰❤️

[@painterdawn2]

This is the video I have been needing. I was doing a lot of jamming and wondering why my turnout was not improving. Thank you Katie!

[@kajsasundstrom]

This was published on my birthday! Such a wonderful birthday treat. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge -- always in awe of you! X

[@aerin8022]

I’ve been doing ballet since I was 3 and you are the best ballet you tuber out there!! Your tips really help!

[@belladingdong3396]

So happy to see more technique videos!

[@jessieborrell1856]

Thank you for this, Katie! I have a really hard time with my turnout. I used to be very pigeon-toed for most my life and probably anatomically just don't have good external rotation from my hips. I work really hard to try and strengthen and use what I have and ballet has helped me a ton, even if it's very frustrating to have limited turnout

[@nevroth]

Love this vid! Great timing as I recently went to a PT who told me I needed to strengthen my glutes and the exercises he gave me were all working the deep turnout muscles.

[@elintilia2790]

I just realized all the mistakes I was making without even realizing it, super informative video! It also gave me a whole bunch of cues I never would have picked up on based on sight alone.

[@mrsevilsizor]

Hi Katie, thanks so much for all your videos, I found you during my recovery from a complex tibial plateau fracture from a bike accident and have used your videos and found inspiration during my recovery. As a former child ballet student, and a thyroid cancer survivor, I can relate to your story and again thank you for putting this wonderful content our for us.

[@KiraHelenRose]

When you said don't ever let anyone step on you for a better stretch, I totally understood that. When I was a kid (and not even yet a dancer) I was once stretching in butterfly and I asked my sister to slowly and gently press my knees down for me. She thought it would be hilarious to suddenly and unexpectedly jam my knees down to the floor for a laugh. It was horrifically painful. Luckily I didn't get injured.

[@thetimetravellingwitch2615]

This is exactly what I needed Katie!

[@kathryn_morgan]

I'm so glad this helped! xoxo

[@missloretta]

Best video editing! Exactly what I need.

[@marianasalles9080]

I have been doing this for some times, almost everyday, and OH my! It’s really improving! Thank You so much Kathryn! ♥️

[@linathomopoulou7887]

Thank you so much for this video Kathryn!! I 've been doing these exercises for the past two weeks and my turnout has improved so much! I can't believe it! You are amazing

[@tammygoslett2105]

Hi Kathryn, I used to do ballet in school (18 years ago!) and absolutely loved it! Decided to start at home for some exercise & toning & found your channel & am loving it!! I can already see & feel the difference. Thank you so much! All the very very best to you! 😉

[@mlees36]

I think this was the first ever video that I did with kathryn and now I have watched so many of her other videos I love them all and find them so helpful!!!!!! I also just got on point and can't wait to take some of her bigginer point classes! Your videos are amazing and have helped me so much so, thank you, thank you, thank you, you are AMAZING!!!!!

[@slcubr4847]

You are a genius at explaining the correct sensation. I've gained so much from listening to you. ❤️

Happy I've found this video. I'll definitely do these stretches everyday. Thanks for sharing!

[@jacqueline5543]

Thank you so much Kathryn!! I am so glad for the teaching moments. I hope some new dancers to vet dancers happen across this and learn!!!

[@MartaJoannaKlara]

I love the respect which floats from your words toward your own body Katie. And that you are saying it and sharing with us. Thank you! And great workout also.

[@saeedawhitaker2460]

Thank you!!! Turnout is one of my biggest problems so this will be so helpful!

[@jacquelineclair-horn6513]

Thank you for the great tips and turnout exercises. I am over 50 yrs old and started ballet classes at the age of 42. I've always enjoyed dancing and I love the challenge and grace of ballet.

[@baileyym5251]

so so helpful, thanks Katie! would love if you could do another video on stretches or exercises for hyperextension...REALLY feeling it in my elbows lately and always my knees of course!

[@darnettable]

EXCELLENT! Love the teaching! These are so extremely important points of anatomy/movement that you very specifically covered in detail--do's & don'ts and why. I also love the education on strengthening and then lengthening, in what order and why. Thank you Katie!!!!

[@missraredoesstuff]

This is so helpful thank you so much! I’m 21 have been dancing since I was 3 and have never been given exercises for turnout before. This is going to help me so much!

[@lizziethompson4131]

THANK YOU!!! I went to a ballet studio for many years that valued flexibility far over strength, my turnout was horrid for years and years and I didn’t find out until looking it up to find out why I couldn’t hold myself in a position for too long. I have done this among other exercises for a few weeks and it’s already doing wonders. Thank you Kathryn Morgan, I swear you are a turnout goddess

[@lazyblackbean]

Omg I have to come here and leave a comment to say thank you!! I have done this for 2 weeks now. Today for the first time ever, I could actually feel my legs properly turning out in ballet class! Omg!!! I started learning ballet a year ago and could never find the proper turn out!! Omg!!!! I was jamming my knees so much to the point I started feeling discomfort. This video is so critical!!

[@missngfrombrooklyn]

Thank you so much. This video is incredibly informative. I think it's your best one yet!

[@doriscunningham9930]

Just started over at 60 years old. What You said about not forcing turnout but work with the turnout we have is the most useful and likely the most important advice to keep in mind. I believe it is the key to progress. Much love and many thanks

[@hayleyvanantwerp452]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!! I have very tight hips after my four children and this combo of exercises/stretches is a a game changer for me.

First time watching. This is great, thanks so much!

[@youarenotthesun9]

Wow you make these moves look so easy! :) I'm just starting to learn Irish dance (week 2!) and my turnout is horrible. I went into these exercises and stretches thinking they'd be easy because you do them with such ease, but I could barely get through the full count of each exercise lol. Looks like I have work to do!

[@carlalee2007]

I love it Kathy. I cannot open Rt side of hip as much as left one. I believe that it will be corrected over constant practice!

[@ghislainecabaret7808]

thanks for these recommendations and exercises !! I was looking for some tips to improve turnouts !! So I 'm going to do these exercises as regularly as possible !!Thanks a lot !!

love your explanation on turnout!

[@gina1569]

I've been learning ice skating for the past 8 months or so and these exercises to strengthen very specific muscles for turnout, and the tips for arabesque, are so helpful. I love your workout videos for that focus on building the strength to reach your goal, the balance between strengthening and stretching to build and maintain flexibility. Really glad I found this channel!

[@txspacemom765]

I don't even know how I got to this video but I tried the exercises and I had fun. I am not a dancer and don't even know what you are saying but I am trying and I love it!

Hi Katie! I'm 11 and I've just started working on my turnout. It is so bad and I can't seem to figure out if I should work more on strengthening the muscles or stretching them out. Thanks for your videos; they have helped me a lot. Bye!😍💖

You are amazing! So love training with you. You're so natural. 💜-it

[@naomireineke3151]

Love what you said at the beginning, it doesn't just take flexibility but strength too. Wish all my students would believe me when I say that haha. If you can't maintain it it's not real turnout!

[@lynnrose7562]

You are an excellent teacher.

[@lauracfig]

Super useful! thank you
