Turnout was always my biggest struggle. When I was younger, my turnout was so limited that I had physios measuring it weekly to see if I’d ever be able to improve it. My director at Tring told my mum I would never become a dancer because of it.
That hurt. But I was stubborn. I worked hard. I trained at The Royal Ballet School and then at The Vaganova Academy, where flat turnout isn’t a suggestion, it’s a standard. I decided I would find a way. And I did.
In this course, I’m sharing exactly how I got there. You’ll learn the exercises that helped me activate the right muscles, build strength, and open up the rotation I didn’t think I had. This isn’t about forcing your turnout. It’s about learning to work with your body and make real, measurable progress. I know what it’s like to be told you can’t. So let’s prove them wrong together.
- How to activate the correct turnout muscles
- Safe and effective stretches to improve rotation
- How to apply turnout in motion, not just standing still

Turnout – Lesson 1
Turnout – Lesson 2
Is this course for me? Yes if..
- You struggle to hold turnout or feel stuck and pulled in.
Look for another course if...
- You’re looking for performance rather than placement. This is about unlocking the mechanics.
