You turn out from your hips not from your knees. Most people turn out from their knees not their hips, but this can lead to knee problems later on in life. The ideal turn out is a one hundred eighty degree turn out.

What are some similarities between classical ballet and contemporary ballet?
Classical and contemporary ballet bear a resemblance to each other but there are many big differences. Contemporary ballet is usually much faster, and doesn't really tell a story it is usually abstract. There is also much more freedom in contemporary ballet, choreographers can try new and different steps, it also is not as focused on turnout and high extensions, and is alot lower to the ground then classical ballet which is all about turnout high extensions and is very lifted up.

Does structural integration techniques such as rolfing which was developed by Ida Rolfing increases one's turnout in ballet?
Structural Integration wil improve your turnout in Ballet if you are restricted by connective tissue. Structural Integration is excellent for increasing range of motion. it also can improve posture, performance, and make you more connected to your own body.

What are some turnout faults in ballet?
Turnout faults, are not really faults as such. The human body is not designed to function with 90 degree or over turnout. The faults that arise from turnout, are usually from forcing the legs and feet to rotate further than anatomically possible for that particular body. A very small proportion of people have extremely supple hip sockets that allow for maximum rotation. Unfortunately the few make the 'ideal' turnout what everyone else is aiming for. This brings about many complications in the hip socket, knees, and feet. The most common is 'rolling' from forcing turnout so the feet roll inward. After a time this then effects the knees. Pain in the knees and in the feet can result from this. Hip socket pain is common also as turnout is actually from the hip socket, not the feet or the knees. Ideally, gentle stretching from when one is very young is the best way to develop turnout. This is why many dancers start ballet at a young age.
What is the best ballet school in Canada?
The National Ballet School of Canada is a great ballet academy that is by audition only. Itis very prestigious and government-sponsered, I believe. It is harder to get in when you are older, like most ballet academies. You need to have significantly good range turnout form the hip, arched feet, musicality, and flexibility and extension.
Is it natural to have turn out of 180 degrees in ballet without any training?
That is not very common, but really really good! This is coming from someone who barely has 90 degrees of turnout, it really makes ballet hard. But that is amazing, it would be great to try ballet jsut for the heck of it, just to see if you like it.

What is differnet about ballet and modern?
Ballet and Modern come from different roots. Ballet began in medieval French courts, where the King eventually established a school for it. It has strict technical guidelines for classes and a huge "dictionary" of movement. Advanced dancers wear pointe shoes. It's very much about turnout, presentation, long lines, and one type of movement. Modern, on the other hand, developed in America & Europe after Ballet. Pretty much, dancers and choreographers got sick of the same old same old ballet and began experimenting with new movement. Instead of turnout, they use parallel. Modern dancers usually go barefoot. The movement is very much based on your core. It has much less restrictions than ballet and has many, many different styles based on the choreographer. Youtube can provide great examples of both.
Which one is more hard work ballet or hip hop?
Tough Question! It depends on how hard you are willing to work at both styles. Me, who does both.. definitely finds Ballet more work. But different people say different things. You could be born a natural ballerina with perfect turnout and ballet would be a breeze but hip hop would be challenging. And same vice-versa. Ballet requires flexibility, stretch and turnout. If you do not have core strength, it could be a struggle to improve. In ballet, you are never good enough, there is always something to improve or someone to beat. In hip-hop, you can be as good as you want. You'll only get out what you put in. You need strength and possibly attitude. But its hard to succeed in hip-hop. There are hardly any famous hip-hoppers and even those don't perform or earn lots. Hope I helped :)
What ballet colleges are the best for producing professional ballet dancers?
You can't just go to NYCB's training school, which is really called the School of American Ballet. You must be admitted into it by the time you are 18 years old, and have perfect turnout, decent musicality, and a good body for ballet. It really isn't a college; it is connected with Juiliard, however, which is good for ballet and modern dancing. It's not the same as SAB or NYCB, though. Other ballet colleges are North Carolina School of the Arts (NCSA), Mercyhurst PA, Indiana, Point Park. But those are more intense schools. Other colleges, like Kutztown, offer smaller ballet programs that aren't as intense as other colleges.
What was the reason for Louis Spandau to invent ballet?
Louis Spandau wanted to show off and impress people. Not only just the woman. He was also know as King Louis 14th. His desire for turnout was to show off his ankles while having fun and impressing people. He also had the first ballet school in the world. It was located in Russia if I remember right. He died, living a very good life with his family and owning the title of the one to invent ballet and build the first ballet school in the world.
