Guest LovinDance Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I want to know if mine is considered good because my turnout is a bit less than straight but i CAN make it straight but... i cant balance Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hi, LovinDance and welcome to Ballet Talk for Dancers; mabuhay! Good turnout is that which you can have without forcing anything. So, if you have less than 180° of turnout, your turnout can still be good, providing that it all comes from the thigh rotating in the hipjoint! Quote Link to comment
RainbowBrite32 Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Basically what Mel said, but good turnout is having a decent amount without ever forcing it! Never force your turnout. It's very basd for your ankles, knes and hips. Not a good thing! Quote Link to comment
Marenetha Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Is it usual to be have greater turnout in non-weight-bearing positions? (Passe, or arabesque) Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yes, oooooh yes! Quote Link to comment
Marenetha Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Ooh, good. I was worried I was like ... faking my turnout in passe, or something, because I don't have quite the same turnout in first. Quote Link to comment
Guest twinklehooves Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Is it common to have less, or feel like you have less turnout when you are laying on your back with your legs straight in the air and mocking first position? Because that's what it feels like. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Oh sure. You're just in a forward cambré, except with gravity coming from 90° out of kilter! Quote Link to comment
