Question
how the hip role & turn out will affect the development of strong feet?
If you use your natural turnout to its fullest extent, it should not impair the development of strong feet. However, you should never force your turnout and should make sure to turn out from the hips, not the knees or feet. Feet also should be strengthened by releves and theraband exercises. Ask if you have any more questions!

Expertise
I can answer lots about ballet, specifically the Vaganova syllabus. I'm still training, but both my parents were professional dancers, so most answers will be coming from them, not me. :) They're the experts. Obviously, questions about difficult technique, etc, would be better answered with someone else, but if you're just becoming interested in dancing, or are having problems with basic steps, like pirouettes or plies, then I may be able to help
Experience
I've seen ballet since the age of 0, because of my parents, and I am training to become a professional dancer now.
