Turn out ballet

I am very short 4′11″ and very muscular. But my turn out sucks in both ballet and pointe shoes. Is there anything I can do to improve this?

  1. have you tried asking your teacher what you can do to improve your turn out? your teacher will almost always have the best answer for you and if it doesn’t improve, she can help you until you both find something that works for you

  2. DONT CRANK! dont force it!! or u will have very very very sorce hips! One thing that you can do to try and improve is to sit in a crosed leged possition and lean forward. And as Ashley said ask ur teacher, and she will give u handy tips!

  3. Ask your teacher what she thinks would be best. And I had the same problem and I started doing plies every time before class.

  4. PRACTISE PRACTISE PRACTISE ! practise makes perfect whenever your standing around stand in first position after awhile the practise will show in your steps .

  5. Is being 16 a bad age for starting ballet?
