I'm guessing the knee that's out to the side!. Um!.!.!.!.you've got to think about turning out your leg from your hip!. This sounds like a turnout issue!. Try this exercise it helped me a lot:
Lay on back with legs in butterfly position so they would look like this from a bird's eye view: < > Good luck and keep dancing!Www@QuestionHome@Com

omg when i do fuettes i do the same thing!. you just have to"flip" your knee rather than swing it!. my teacher said dont think about it to hard either!. it just makes things harder!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The knee on your working leg!?
Well just remember to turn out from the top of your legs and think of bringing your heel forward and your knee back when the working leg is in retiré!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
