If course you can start dance!.!.!.17 isnt too old!.!.people are starting at all ages and wayyy older than you!. And about walking turned out!. I do that too!. Im just soo use to being told to turnout by my teacher i just naturally do it!. I turn out when i walk and often stand in first position, and i usually dont even know im doing it until someone points it out!.!.which they usually do!. Dont listen to what people say, its not like something is wrong with the way you walk!.!.its just turned out!. And like someone said your turnout is from your hips!. Your legs can be turned out!.!.but that doesnt mean your hips are!. Which i dont really know they might be!.!.!.some people do have natural turnout!.!.!.while others have to strech to achieve a good turnout!. Good luck with dancing!! ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

The fact that you walk with your feet a bit turned out doesn't mean you have natural turnout!. Turnout in dance comes from the hip sockets, not the feet or knees!. By all means, start dancing again though! I've always walked like a duck too!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have that same problem!.!.!.I do dance and always stand/walk with turned out feet but seriously!.!.!.no one walks with straight feet, everyone's walk is at least slightly turned outWww@QuestionHome@Com

don't hate the way you look!. obviously you were made that way for a reason and the reason is obviously to dance!.!. so go dance!.!. no you're not too old!Www@QuestionHome@Com
