Guest Herrera dancer Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I have noticed that whenever I do develope to the side, or anything 90 degrees to the side...i can feel bones in my hips rubbing and sliding! It doesn't necessarily hurt...but it's starting to get uncomfortable. If this has anything to do with turnout, I am not in the center splits, cannot do the butterfly, or the frog (I'm guessing these things have to do with my turnout). So are my hips maybe irritated because I am forcing them to turnout? Quote Link to comment

Guest dancer88291 Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 OMG I get that sometimes too. I have had it all my life and it's starting to get annoying. so Im trying things that will help me turnout more. Quote Link to comment
ABT Wannabe Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Well then what both of you should try to do is to work on the middle splits, the frog, and butterfly because those things help turnout ALOT. I remember it was super hard to turnout before I got into the middle splits and the others, those things help you alot. So remember to stretch every night! Quote Link to comment
Guest Herrera dancer Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I heard the frog is bad for your hips though. Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted July 22, 2004 Administrators Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 It can be a lot harder on your knees than on your hips The best way to work on rotation is to work very focused when you do barre work. Concentrate on every postion being in your best rotation. Really work hard on rond de jambe, as that is the exercise that is designed to teach your legs to work against each other to create better rotation. Quote Link to comment
Guest Herrera dancer Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Ok So I better stop trying to do the frog now LOL, and I'll remember things like that at the barre. Thanks, Ms. Leigh! Quote Link to comment
