You are screwing out your knees not rotating from your hip socket. yes your knees should be over your small little toes when you are rotating but if you dont have 180deg turn out then you should make your fiirst position a little more smaller and rotating from your hipo socket. your upper leg is doing the rotating not from your knee. thats what you did. If you skrew out your knees to get your knees over your toes then you skrew up your knees and you are going to end up in a knee replacement and not dancing anymore ive been doing ballet for 15 years so I know what Im doing Due!!!

I dont know what to do but it really hurts. I thought it was because I have the worst turn out ever and am trying really hard to fix that. Any ideas?

I am not a physician, but am presently in school for it. I was a dancer for many years and know exactly what you are talking about. I urge you to see an orthopedist b/c it sounds as if the problem is in your ligaments or tendons, which at your age can sometimes be too short for the bone growth resulting in the 'feeling' of something being wrong with your knee cap or bones. If this is true, the doctor will refer you to a PT who will teach you special stretching to lengthen the ligaments. In my case, I ended up ruining my hips badly (over compensating on them vs my knees to pull me up) from not getting help, and my dancing career as a result. Please don't let it happen to you. Hope this helps and best of luck. I know this response is a few weeks late coming, but if the first response wasn’t helpful, might I say this. I am not a physician, but am presently in school for it.

Your poor joints! That used to happen to me- What I did to try fix it was trying to engage my muscles to do the lowering and lifting for my poor joints. I tried to envision my legs squeezing together while turned out and going down, really squeezing my butt cheeks, and thinking tall when going up, while trying to only use my thigh muscles (going for hamstrings, but also using quads) and my glutious maximus(sp?)! But, of course, I wouldn't take my own advice if it would save my life, so ask a professional! (such as... your teacher!) I’m not a professional or anything of the sort, but…—OW! Your poor joints!
