Tiny Tips: 50-50 turnout


Few of us have naturally perfect 180 degree turnout.  If you do a style of dance like ballet or Irish dance, you will be working on your turnout for your entire dance career.  To keep your joints from becoming stressed, don't push your turnout past your natural limits.  Share your turnout equally between both legs (don't push one foot into a perfect position and let the other turn in).  This is especially important when doing movements with a working and standing leg.  It looks much better to have both the working and standing leg partially turned out than to have one in perfect position and one turned in.
