It's free and only takes a minute.
Ignorant about ballet until being an extra in 'Sleeping Beauty' with the Kirov in December 2010 and since then trying to make the best of the fact that with nineteen I started quite late to become a professional dancer.

Hi Lisa, I would say that I mostly worked on my turnout within classwork (trying to rotate my inner thighs, etc.) But exercises that strengthen the sartorius muscles help as well. And never try to force turnout from the feet only, as that will only result in knee injury. Hope it helped... :) Brittney
