The turn-out for ballet comes at first through natural bone structure!. If your hips are not naturally open then your turn-out will naturally be worse!.

However there are stretches like the frog to improve your turn out!. since your hips are not naturally turned out then the stretch will hurt!. When you do the frog stretch put a pillow over your feet so that they begin to lower!.

also you HAVE to be relaxed and BREATHING!. If you dont your muscles will contract and you will become less flexible!. There is another stretch called capet which is like frog but your feet are flexed and both legs are at a 90 degree angle like a goal post!. then you try to push your weight into your glutts!.

If you do this or frog with a pillow three times a day for at least one minute and a half each time then you should have the best turn out your bone structure will allow in less then two monthsWww@QuestionHome@Com

It really depands on your hips!. I have hereditary turned out hips, so it doesn't hurt me at all, but most of the other girls at my studio it hurts!. The frog position will really help with turnout, so just breath deeply!. It is like any other uncomfortable stretch!. You are fine, good job!Www@QuestionHome@Com
