Always seem to Lose your Turnout in Center?
… Then this post is for you!
Turnout is one of the most important and popular concepts in ballet. The entire discipline of ballet is grounded by turnout, making it one of the biggest corrections a ballet dancer often receives. Like everything in ballet, however, it is not as easy as it appears! Join us as we get into the nitty and gritty of turnout, how it works, how to do it safely, and how to improve it.
Holding Turnout at the Barre
At the barre is where our training begins. And turnout is no exception! This is something that we work on very often with our dancers here at Broche Ballet. Safe turnout is a fundamental skill to have in order to protect your body from injuries. Follow-along with Julie as she shows you how to effectively hold onto your turnout at the barre!
Holding Turnout in Center
Holding turnout in the center is more challenging than maintaining it as barre since there is no longer anything to hold onto. Join Julie for Part 2 of “Holding Turnout” to learn how to effectively maintain it in the center.
