Class Info

About this Class

Turnout doesn’t happen by wishing for it — it’s built. Turnout Complete is a focused, efficient class designed to strengthen and mobilise everything that makes turnout work: hips, glutes, deep rotators, and the core stability that holds it all together. Rather than piecing together exercises from five different sources before ballet class, this class gives you one complete, ballet-specific routine to prep your body for class. Ideal for a focused lesson.
