  • Answer:

    Turnout is usually something you do not get in a week, a month, or even years. Typically the turnout you are born with, is the one you will have. Your turnout may improve if you start stretching at around age 7 when you are still growing. However, no matter how much you stretch, if you are not born with 180 degree turnout (perfect turnout) you will most likely not get there. There are stretches like the frog and the butterfly, but no matter how much you stretch your turnout will only be able to improve a little. Besides stretches, be sure you are always using your turnout for every step in ballet class. Do not be lazy and sit back. Using your turnout a lot during the day is actually better than stretching. Try walking around turned out for a while. You can probably set your goal to about a year. However, again it all depends on the person. Good luck!

You can do frog stretches, but the main thing you need for pointe is to be able to HOLD your turnout. I've seen students with a great turnout when they're standing in soft shoes, but that's because they're using the pressure of the floor. As soon as they're up on their toes, they have nothing to push against and they lose their turnout. So keep that in mind when doing your exercises - the most important muscles are the ones at the top of your thighs. If you do it properly, you can see some great results in 3 months.
