Your Ticket to Turnout

Want to improve your turnout? Of course you do. (What ballet dancer wouldn’t?) Check out this excellent clip of movement guru Irene Dowd explaining two exercises that can help you increase your outward rotation. Dowd, a longtime faculty member at Juilliard and author of the iconic kinesiology book, Taking Root to Fly, uses imagery and anatomical concepts to help dancers find more stability and ease of movement. Her turnout tutorial is information that’s not to be missed.
