  • @kristiLB93
    @kristiLB93 7 ปีที่แล้ว +145

    After years of not dancing consistently, the limited turnout I had seems completely lost. While in class now I feel like I fight and really force to maintain any turnout. Can you suggest any daily exercises that can make the most impact on my turnout? Great, awesome quick tips by the way! Thank you!

    • @Ray-vo4lj
      @Ray-vo4lj 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Kristin Becks Do exercises for middle splits and hip flexibility, this will help your turnout. And I also just stand in fifth position a lot 😊 but my turnout isn’t perfect as well

    • @reederkids684
      @reederkids684 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I actually have a condition where I was born with my hips turned in, so I don’t have good turnout or a good range of motion in my hips. Maybe try looking into physical therapy. If your hip hurts, I would also look into hip displasia

  • @watermelonroxx
    @watermelonroxx 7 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    I really love how straight-to-the-pointe (ha) your videos are. It's a lot easier to remember your tips in class with the short format! You're doing an awesome job!

  • @aleahevans9706
    @aleahevans9706 7 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Wow, I wish I learned about these things sooner. My teacher is the loveliest human being ever, but she never taught us what a difference your attitude and thoughts can make in your technique. I'll definitely try to use these in class tomorrow!

    Fantastic tips - balance, turns, arabesque - it's all stuff I seem to be forgetting when I'm tired or thinking about the combination, and it always works exactly the way you explain it.

  • @sysib2308
    @sysib2308 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I've been waiting for a video like this for so long from many different dancer youtubers. that one with when doing a pirrouette think of bringing the right arm back just saved my life.

  • @Isabelle.1ee
    @Isabelle.1ee 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Great tips! Especially for pirouettes. Usually I only do singles or kinda bad doubles but I was doing solid triples, thanks to your tips! Keep up the great work! 💖💖

  • @DarkfoolDave
    @DarkfoolDave 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    That 1-inch longer waist tip is GOLD- everything that needs the work just falls into place. I think I’ll start telling that to my fencing students to fix posture!

  • @floragreen6399
    @floragreen6399 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Counterbalance
    Placement: grow one more inch of space inbetween ribs und hips: enlongate your abdomen
    Turn: bring shoulder back and arm back (don’t swing your arm though)
    develope; Focus on standing/ supporting not on lifting leg (distraction)
    Arabesque: (opposite shoulder to toe)
    jumps: front food get out as soon as possible, think go up (saut de chat)/ out (grand jete)

    question: people always say to use the inner thigh for developpés...what does that mean?

    • @denisesalar2956
      @denisesalar2956 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      o l i v i a l l i s o n just push your inner thigh out for good turnout

    • @savanna.tantirige6644
      @savanna.tantirige6644 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      denise no no its not that

    • @katherineweir5616
      @katherineweir5616 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Use the back of your legs. If you start using only the top muscles your gonna end up looking like a body builder. That’s why squats arnt a good idea and neither are turned in leg lifts. When doing a position such as first try to make the back of your legs touch. Those are the muscles you want to be using.

    • @rockycravener
      @rockycravener 5 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      It means don’t grip the top of your thigh, like imagine lifting from the bottom.

    • @athetopofmylungs
      @athetopofmylungs 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The muscle you wanna use is the hamstring, not the quad. If you focus on that you’ll turn out from your glutes, not your knees, and it’ll be easier for you to lift without pinching your psoas
