Here are some exercises to help...
-plies in first, second, and fith (they really help because when you go down in plie you push you thies out and it helps you turn out)
-frog stretches (lie down on your belly with knees pushing out and you feet together)http://gvctemp17.virtualclassroom.org/sp...
-do grand battment to help with you posture (hold you hips, back, and head stong when lifting you leg up in front, side, and back)
-splits (they helps with everything)
-stratles (bend you head to the floor and hold you legs back sttetching you turn out)
-rond de jambe (in the air remember to hold you hip in place)
Do the exercises every day and this will help you with your turn out. Happy Dancing!!!!!

When I took ballet, I found that by practicing your basic things ( plies and things that you would do on the barre ) in front of a mirror, it really helps because you can fix your posture as your stretching.
As for your turns, the only exercises I can think of it just practicing the turns itself.
Good luck. Ballet was hard!! :-)
