TURNOUT. All you wanted to know - from ballerina Maria Khoreva

In this video I’m going to tell you guys everything I know about turnout and share all of the tips and exercises that have helped me throughout my career and continue helping now in my everyday struggle to get better turnout and incorporate it into rehearsing and performing!

She is gifted with a flat turnout but pleeeeaaase keep your own anatomy in mind. I worked with flat turnout and forced my body everyday and did all the strengthening but I ended up having multiple injuries in my knees, hips, back and feet and only after a surgery in my knee I've excepted my anatomy. And belive me working with my anatomy I got me so much better. Don't break your bodies, work with them!

I agree with subscribers who wrote that Maria very well explained usefulness of every exercise. This workout by the way shows how difficult is to prepare the body to master the elements of the ballet.
It's big effort every day requiring great health, mental strength and of course talent. That's why I admire ballet dancers.

Ever since I started watching your videos and implementing your directions I’ve felt a noticeable change in my technique. You’re an inspiration, Maria. Thank you so much for all your hard work. 💖

Ahhh, finally, somebody who decided not to wear black dresses!!!! I don't know why most dancers, male and female always show the exercises dressed in black. We can so much more see the muscles moving in this dressing here!!!! Also thanks for the diagonal positioning of the bar, which also most of the dancers avoid to do and they lose so much visual info in this. Also the general lightning is done well, so my honest congratulation Maria, you made a huge step to help also not professional people to understand better the development of the movements, thank you!!!

Once again, I'm far from being a professional ballet, but I loved how this exercise made me feel. I haven't practiced ballet since a teenager, and never ever had much flexibility to the back or much of a turnout at all (I started at age 13). My arabesques are pretty lousy - I can only get a few inches off the floor! The developes from the back in this workout - I literally could not lift my leg off the floor! (at least not with trying to lead from my knee). But as small as my ability and progress iis, I can feel those small muscles working, bringing my body back into proper alignment and helping to relieve my back issues (done slowly and carefully with modifications, of course). Had these videos been around when I was younger, I would have been much more successful as a dancer. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Of course for beginners and students before they become automatically flexible, never stretch before class without being warm.

I loved this video and all the tips even though I am an adult older student without your turnout but find the demo strating and tips so helpful, especially at my age and it has made dancing more enjoyable for me!
Thank you Maria

Thank you ❤️ Not just a really good dancer, also an excellent teacher.

[normamimosa]

Totally agree that turnout is the most important key in ballet and essential for any dancer that wants a career in ballet.
