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 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.

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.


How do you ballet turnout?

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.
