SOPHIA
The best turnout exercises there are you already do in ballet class. Concentrate on spiraling your leg out from the hip during your tendus and think about pushing your knees out to the side during plies (and keeping them in that same position as your straighten your legs). This is the absolute best way to improve turnout.

I have not danced professionally, but I am a dedicated student of ballet and modern dance.

I have also reviewed ballet performances for an online publication.
