TURNOUT TIPS!!!

[@jensingletary4024]

These turnout exercises have helped me so much! Even as an adult, returning to ballet after many years, doing these exercises has dramatically restored my turnout already! Thank you, Claudia! If you would someday make a video about perfecting and improving your retiré, that would be so helpful too!

[@polikandi]

This student has that million dollar look - her eyes, her smile, her gestures ... - that radiant SOMETHING, the presence that reaches the balcony's last row in the audience. Good for her.

[@Hana-fj1nm]

Ikr she is just adorable 🥰🥰🥰

[@juliprincess152]

I wish you were my teacher 😗

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Come to Brisbane!! xx

[@juliprincess152]

Do you think that a women age 34 with a little background in dance can start learning ballet or its too late?

[@aclaar877]

Absolutely - I have read many accounts of people starting ballet late and getting pretty good at it.

[@AgnieszkaGarbacik]

do it! :) I started at 34 without any background in dance and I've been learning ballet for 2 years now, sure I won't be a ballet star but that's not really the point, I just feel happy when I'm in the class :)

[@legitlyspelunking]

I started figure skating a few months ago and man if I had a dollar for every time my coaches told me to turn out I'd never have to pay for a lesson ever again 😂 My turnout is awful so I'm looking forward to practicing these!

[@lillianforbus5856]

Thank you so much! My studio is all for safe turnout, but they still want us to hold our turnout to a degree. When I go to competitions (YAGP, Master Classes, scholorship classes ect.) I always get corrected on my turnout. I still want to be safe, but want to increase my turnout. This video did a great job explaining ways to do so to me! Thank you again! ❤❤❤

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

no worries Lillian

[@stephanielh3395]

I'm really trying to improve my turnout for my advanced one exam, especially in the center, so I will definitely try these exercises !! ❤

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Yay go Stephanie!! best of luck xx

[@stephanielh3395]

Claudia Dean Coaching thank you ❤❤

[@MusicNote10001]

Stephanie LH me too!!

[@hailslps]

Hi my dance teacher sent me a link to this video and I told me not to do exercise #3 or #6 because of my level of dance. I still found this video very helpful and am now a big fan. I just started my 4th year of ballet! Thanks for all you do!

[@laurenhesley360]

Can you do a video on how to stretch the back of the knee. Or exercises how to help with the ones who cannot fully straighten yet

[@anne8697]

Do you mena hamstring stretches?

[@hud8265]

She looks so happy and she’s such a beautiful dancer !!!! 🌹🌹🌹

[@OopsieDaisyCottage]

Thank you Claudia Dean, these are some fabulous turnout exercises that I will use in my intermediate ballet class today. I just received your DVD in the mail - now I'm trying to find a compatible DVD player, I didn't realize it was a different format than American!

[@hillareeharper3256]

While she was explaining number two (lol) amilia behind her just dancing 👌👌

[@TcaraC]

It helps me so much!! My left foot's turn out is my weakness part, and it bother me a lot! Thanks for those tips I'll work it hard!

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

That's fantastic to hear xo !

[@Sophiesticated-hq6kw]

Oh, my, goodness! Thank you so much, both of you are blessed with dancing skills. I have not really been able to turn out when I started dancing but when I watched this video, I felt like a real ballerina. This helped me soooooo super much, thank you!

[@joanaho4657]

can you upload a video explaining how you built your career (where you started, difficulties you've overcome), talking about your experience as a professional dancer and why you decided to leave the company?

[@红雨随心]

Your students are so lucky because of you.

[@kenzieandrews6041]

Great tips Claudia.... you're doing great things for young dancers around the world ❤

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Thank you so much Tracey xxx

[@Karazorel.Ms.PG1]

and all ages

[@marktwain380]

Thank you Claudia, and look at your little dancer's face, she is delighted, proud and she knows how to improve! What an inspiration😉

[@virginiaandreotti]

Hi Claudia. How do I do the flamingo squeeze with a student that doesn't have bow legs? What if the student's knees are already touching while standing in parallel position?

[@marylynnereed6972]

Virginia Andreotti I have the same issue as your student.

[@janedoex8345]

You can still feel the calfs getting closer toghtrther and almost pressing together if you contract the right muscles. I guess it's not only about how it looks but also to feel how to achieve the move and to achieve the right muscle memory. Mine also almost touch but if I really tighten my muscles the backsides of my calves come closer together and you also feel the burn....

[@syamagauridd3964]

And here I am with a very strong X leg what can i say😅😞

[@janedoex8345]

I always try standing parallel and then move my feet and legs without consciously moving them but only using the muscles and putting the weight on the heels so the leg turns only by contracting the muscles. And finally look how much I lack for the position and correct it. Can be done whole waiting for a train, in the bus, waiting in line at the store etc....^^ But I am still often kind of squeezing (my butt) and as soon as you squeeze you also tend to tuck under....But at least I'm aware. I guess not having had a single lesson that is to be expected....

[@taylaking4075]

Definitely going to be using these tips, thank you so much Claudia!💛

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Tayla Marie Anytime! 😘😍😘

[@simaraamato5432]

I’m going to nationals this weekend, and I’ve been watching you all season you’ve helped me soooo much

[@WhiteQueensHeart]

From seoul . You are the first person whom I want to meet in australia. Thank you.

[@lanasentic1040]

congrats for 36K. And Thanks Claudia

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

thank YOU so much

[@TikvahS87]

Thank you so much! I've really been struggling with turnout in my left leg lately. Question though, how do you measure turnout range, separate from turnout strength?

[@Natiree]

Tikovka turnout range is how flexible you are, and turnout strength is how much of your turnout you can control when dancing.

[@MarijeK]

Tikovka Lay down on your stomach, bend one leg so your foot is toward the ceiling, and turn out (or have someone push it down) (gently!). The angle it makes, is your turnout. Now, you just have to train your muscles to use that turnout!

[@mariannestoffers5067]

Maybe it's too late for this now, but to be honest my left leg was killing because it was on the other answers out. Port de liege is only like contemporary. I personelle then more remembered that my arms control the shoulder, I cannot take both shoulders... these idea survived me on in my holding both true legs.

[@francinecasals7149]

Bonjour claudia je regarde vos vidéos de la Guyane Française où j'enseigne le Jazz. Votre pédagogique et conseils sont très, très appréciables. J'ai 67 ans et si j'avais eu toutes ces infos lors de mes études j'aurais été une star 😇 Mais je continue à rêver et à m'entraîner régulièrement 🙏

[@travis4melb1]

Hi Claudia, thanks so much! Your videos are AMAZING. Last year I got a distinction in RAD grade 5 and your videos helped me so much!

[@awesomesam101]

Not a dancer, but I've had pain in my left leg which I believe is due to insufficient turnout in that leg. Thank you so much for this video!

[@carmenkisel5059]

Hey Claudia, i go to a dance school and we just started on pointe shoes, but my strength and turnout is really bad, at the end of this year there’s gonna be exams and only some people are gonna make it into the next level, gonna try all of your tips and let you know at the end of the year✨✨🥰

Claudia, I absolutely love your tips! My dancers are lacking quite a bit in turnout and always complain of hip pain. How can we do things like exercise number 4 with a group of 8 or so dancers? Thank you in advance!

[@kiaranickson1668]

Hi Claudia! Thank you so much for these videos!! They're honestly helping me so much! I was wondering if you could possibly do a video on injuries? And recovery? Would be awesome! Thank you so much once again ⭐️💗

[@danceclipz8215]

Can you do a video on how to keep a tight fifth and third position? what I mean is when you stand in either of those positions sometimes the front knee bends a bit instead of staying straight.

[@thumpinhippo]

Hi Claudia, love this video! These are not exercises I have seen before! I'm wondering if you ever work with adult ballet dancers? Do these turnout tips work equally well for older bodies?

[@aclaar877]

I'm 41, and tried these a few days ago and it feels like I got a few extra degrees of turnout just from doing them once. Will definitely do them again - these tips are different from many other videos I've referenced.

[@asangjamir8411]

thank you so much.. I have been struggling with my turnouts for so long but now I have improved😁😁😁😄😄😃😃😊😊😊

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Yayyy that's amazing !! xo

[@emillyzalayet6353]

Thank you so much Claudia! I have been struggling with turnout so much lately, and finally I found exercises to fit my weaknesses!

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Emilly Zalayet Thankyou so much for letting me know- I'm so happy!!!! 😃😃😃

[@jm0277]

Fabulous video! I really wish this had been around when I was a little 12 y/o dancer and having knee problems that none of my doctors could be bothered to diagnose properly. In the end, I quit at age 13 because I was in so much pain and was advised, 'Well, just don't it, if it is causing you pain.' 20 years later, I wish I had had more help available to me so that I could really know if I had what it takes to be a great dancer.

[@paigemckinnie3207]

In a video can you talk about the muscles used in turnout? Ive been dancing for four years and I still have no idea how to properly turnout or what muscles I'm supposed to use

Wow. I will be starting with 1 tomorrow when I work out. & then adding 2 when I feel good about 1... etc etc Right now I *might* have about a 90 degree turnout. I wonder how far I'll get with this?

[@agipopi4137]

Thank you so much! This was very helpful I was trying this now for the first time and my turn out is way better I've always been struggling with turn out I'm trying to improve all of my problems and difficulty's threw out the holidays (well I've bin trying) so that I can show my teacher that I can do better because I passed my exam this year but I basically slipped threw I really do need improvement and I'm injured on my right foot with a very difficult way to get rid of and now I'm trying to improve and practice for the next school year!

I’m kind of confused with the first one. I think it’s because I don’t have that? My thighs seem thicker so idk?

[@SkyCloudSilence]

I guess just squeeze them harder 😁

[@chaneshegoode5986]

this help si much thank you!

[@1979Namenlos]

First of all, thank you for this video. Sadly, I have a terrible turn out. I will never have 180 degree turn out because my hips limit my rotation but my main problem is that I just don't feel the muscles on the insides of my upper thigh. I've asked several teachers for advice and no exercise or tip could help me. It's like this muscle doesn't exist in my body, I can't activly use it to turn out or help me lift my legs for battements which causes my hip flexors to cramp and my knees to hurt because I just keep my feet stuck in first position without having the posibility to actively rotate. I've been trying to "find" these muscles for two years now. Does anyone have similar problems? I'm open to all tips

[@l_e5988]

I’m currently struggling with the same thing. I hope you fixed your problem.
