How To Improve your Turnout / En Dehors | Lazy Dancer Tips
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- In this video I'll show you an effective series of exercises to drastically improve your Turnout or En Dehors. Turn out is the outward rotation of the leg from the hip joint. This is what makes ballet different from any other dance discipline.
Obviously every body is different, you find people with a spectacular and easy rotation and those, like me, who have to work and sweat to achieve a decent turn out and hold it that way.
Either ways we have to work the right muscles, whether for strengthening or for image improvement. We all work with what we've got and 180 degrees turn out is not necessary to be a beautiful artist.
Have Fun!

Even tho I am whatching this in 2018. These exercises made my turnout go from 120° to 160° after constantly doing the exercises everyday and going to ballet class 5 days a week. It took me 4 weeks to improve my turnout🙂😊❤️❤️
Victoria, That's the right attitude to achieve anything in life, Keeping the work consistent and pushing yourself to achieve your goals :) Be proud of yourself :)
Love
Alessia
Reallly??? Where are you with your turnout now?
2021 for me lol
@@lazydancertips Dear Alessia, is it normal for beginners to feel these drills in their low back AS WELL as glutes, hips, hammies abs? Love your channel, I hope you have a spectacular 2023 plan for yourself & us 💖💖💖
Hello Alessia! This video has been very helpful for working on my turnout. I don't have a very good natural turnout, but your video has really helped. After doing this video every day for 3 days (maybe), I was already seeing a vast improvement. Now, after doing it every day for around 10 days, I see outstanding improvement. Thank you for making this video to help people like me achieve a decent turnout.
You had me at "Lazy Dancer." :-D
+Linda Harrison aren't we all!!! ;D welcome to the channel ;)
Hahahaha! Thank you.
:D
Love this workout!! I was expecting stretches. Was definitely not expecting it to be as challenging or such a good glute and hamstring workout. Fantastic!! ❤
I love how your kitty cat is chilling on the chair while you were working on those turnout muscles.
Someone has got to do some work....i don't think it's ever going to be on my cat's agenda! :D
Girl……… this got me. Lol. I’ve been doing your videos for the last few years and decided to go back to the beginning and go through each and everyone of your videos. This is the first time ive ever done this one. Definitely saving to my favorites. I have duel congenital hip dysplasia, lower lordosis and scoliosis. Your videos saved my life and got me through the pandemic. Thank you so much.
Since watched , this has become one of my daily exercises X
The 'lazy dancer' is for shure the cat XD
ahahhahaah indeed! :D
I'm in love with all your tips, workouts and good humor! I just found your channel and I'm using it as a plus to my personal training to be better in ballet class. Running against time here to try a career in ballet and not sure if all the effort will work, but I will keep trying until the very last moment (I'm 18 and have done ballet my whole life, some things happend and I could only start ballet again seriously at 16). Lots of love from Brazil! Thank you for all your work and videos xx
Oh Good on you!! 18 is still a very good time to get into the ballet world, I tell you it won't be easy as you have to work extra hard to catch up but, on the other hand, you have a more mature head and you will understand things much quicker! So everything is in your favour ;) Let me know if there is anything in particular I can help with or any questions! I'll be more than happy to help out and give you suggestions! "Chookas" my darling and keep me updated with the progress! Ciao Alessia :)
I surely will! Working with ballet would be a dream come true! Thank you so much again for your videos, kind words and support, they mean a lot to me :)
+Ayumi Arissa 😘😘😘
Merritt Moore started at 13 and she also got a PhD in physics while pursuing a professional ballet career, so it is definitely possible! Good luck (and highly recommend looking her up for inspiration!)
I only hate you a *tiny* bit during the middle of most of your videos, but the improvements I'm seeing in my body are incredible. 😁I can't thank you enough. 🙏🙏
LOL being real here ;)
Thank you for your wonderful exercises. I wish I found you out when I was younger. Never had that great of technical training. I was taught early to really squeeze my butte which became a bad habit and I was not finding my center due to all the stress I placed on doing that. Your exercise when you put your feet up on the chair and raise your hips up and rotate the inner thighs in and out has really helped me find my center. I concentrate on feeling my spine….not squeezing. It's building up my back muscles properly ( core ) and my turnout is really improving properly. TOO BAD I MISSED THE BOAT !
I have had trouble finding these muscles in the past. This video helped so much!!!!!!
Glad you found this video helpful! Bravo!!! Sometimes we just need a different perspective to understand things! Way to go! Bravo! Ciao Alessia
I LOVE your videos and workouts!! You make hard work fun!!
Workouts are never easy...with a good laugh they are much better!! glad i can make you smile !!! Happy workouts! Have Fun :)
Ho my this one its a killer, " one more wait no that's a lie " jeez.... ha ha that was great thanks...from a 40 year old trying to improve turn out... Love your exercises...
+venecia2834 Sorry I always lie ... but it's for your own good! 😬ahahah Very pleased you enjoyed it Venecia ! Keep up the great work !😘ciao Alessia 🌹
Oh...that was murder...the bit I could manage! Thanx
You are so beautiful inside and out Alessia
So a side benift of these exercises for me is that my knees strengthend as well as helping with turnout. I don't stumble through adagio center floor any longer!
wow! so fantastic! this exercise is exactly what I'm looking for! I always have wanted to improve my turnout! thank you so much! I love it!
+봄기린 you are very very very welcome ! So glad it's helpful !!! 😊😊🐒ciao
Alessia
great workout..go on please,so usefull for that people who like to do it at home!!!
Grazie Irene!!! :D Bravissima ! Ciao Alessia :)
I really love your channel and its content. I feel like I've stumbled across one of the best channels for me dancing wise . Can't wait to see my progress
Hello and welcome to the Channel! I'm so glad you stumbled across here and i really hope I can help you to achieve your goals! Let me know if there is anything in particular you'd like to work on! All the best!! Ciao Alessia :D
Hello! I just love, love your videos! I really need to improve my en dehors. But I have hyper extended legs and when I try to follow along, my kees go down towards the floor. Do you have a video for en dehors, but standing? Thank you and greeetings from Brazil!
I'm old for the ballet (I'm 23) and I've started this year (7 months ago). All my life I was fat and I've lost more then 45 kg; now that I have the "ballet" body, I decided to start also if is too late. But I have problem with my en dehors... I made the excercises and I will do it every day so I will improve the turnout. Thank you for the video! :)
Fantastic Karolina!!! what an inspiration you are! Bravoooo!! :D:D Keep up the amazing work! Lots of love Alessia :)
This is so effective! Brilliant! I should do this before every ballet class to minimize the shame. :D I have the laziest turnout ever :p
my eyes were on the cat the whole time. so cute!
ahahahahah ! She's a blobbing ninja !
just tried these amazing exercises...(and then read your useful comment abt lower back pain). I should definitely do them more regurarly. Many thanx :)
Omg, I absolutely love your cats, and how they join in on all of your workout videos. It makes me so happy!
Nevlyn I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying the videos...and above all the funny furry balls running around ! Let me know what else you'd like to incorporate in your daily routine, i'd be more than happy to help you out ! Keep me updated on the progress and wish you all the best! Thank you lots again for your lovely message , Ciao Alessia :)
Btw, just finished these en dehors exercises. It was INTENSE, but very nice. Thanks again
Ahhahha Glad you got at the end! Well done ! Yes they are quite painful!
"Miss Margot..." so sweet!!❤❤ 16.36🐈🤣
This may sound silly but I had the hardest time as a young dancer how to turn out from the hips! Not that I didn't "know" how but from standing up in 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th position I couldn't do it for the life of me, even "tucking under the butt" lol was useless! Finally at about 16 I finally was able to turn out from the hip with my feet on the floor. I had the strength the whole time and had the best flexibility in the school but still I could never get my hips, knees (bent) and ankles flat on the floor when laying on my stomach. The teacher used that as a gauge for our turnouts. At least I looked as if I had a good turnout but as the most Gumbi one in the class that was my "Arch Nemesis" during tech warm up. I could have used this exercise instead of butterflies. Just found your channel. Love it and enjoying old memories while getting in a workout!
+Erin S. I'm really glad you enjoyed this, remember it's never too late to go back to what you like and enjoy in life.
By the way Turning out's never been easy for me either, my body doesn't know what it means and still have to work for it and concentrate. It's hard to hear "you don't have a ballerina body" when you perfectly know that dancing it's your vocation... I had to proof everyone wrong! And so I became a ballerina!
The good thing is that When you get older you understand your body and mind much better. Also some teachers are not good for certain students and vice versa, it doesn't necessarily means they are bad, just not good at understanding each other. Some things might work for some people but not for everyone. That's why it's good to work with different people ( not only in dance) to achieve your goal.
I really hope you had a satisfying workout and glad your good old memories came back! Once a dancer,always a dancer ! All my love Alessia
Hello, I love your metaphors! they allow physical imagination to grow very individual, but precise movement. I find you a most discreet and funny lecturer. THANK YOU
Thank you Martina!! I'm so glad they work! :D
THIS WORKOUT IS THE BEST!!
I could not stop laughing! Love your workouts, your bubbly attitude and your cats! Long live Lazy Dancer Tips! xx
:D:D:D:D
i love this...amazing...i have a heel spur and this is perf for exercise
😙🤗
EPIC! I tore my left ankle over a year ago, and am still trying to recover, though it is mostly healed as this workout progressed it became more and more angry/sore - I have been trying to strengthen now for over 6 months with limited success. This workout was d'BOMB; I didn't realize how some of these muscles really need attention - surprisingly obliques and outer thigh muscles complained the most during this workout. I am so glad to have found your feed, and look forward to using them to improve my form, having danced in my younger years, and now do Pilates, yoga, and now barre whenever I can, I love how my body feels with the yoga and barre - thank you again!!! (PS, do you have, or could you do a 30-45 min full-body barre video with cool-down at some point? your instruction style is awesome!)
Hi Nona! Welcome to the Lazy Family ! I'm so happy these exercises helped, I understand what you mean about your ankle getting angry, sometime the position on the chair can be an unhappy one for it. I had an ankle injury myself, funny enough left one too, which was kind of sorted with cortisone injection. I hate needles! Have you tried the ankle/feet exercises video in the list? it would be very good for you czcams.com/video/QMrEz0xssLo/video.html this will keep you busy for a bit, especially in finding the coordination.
I have a couple of Barres out at the moment a mini barre czcams.com/video/9Dsxy2xOtT4/video.html and a full one czcams.com/video/lHg5bxHnvwo/video.html . Let me know how you get on with these, i'll be more than happy to help you out with anything in particular you might need and if you have any questions please ask! Keep going with the great work, yoga and Pilates are great cool downs after barre too! Thank you lots again for your lovely message! keep me updated ! Lots of love Ciao Alessia :)
Nona'sArk myofascial release is the best. It's got me through rotator cuff, calf and ankle pain in many occasion. All you need is deep tissue massage with a tennis ball, "the stick" and a textured foam roller or you can massage along the ankles and sides of legs with the knuckle of your finger and take hydrolysed collagen with hyaluronic Acid to heal quickly. It hurts to do myofascial release initially, but breaks up scar tissue.
This was a hard one for me, but it was really good! I loved the longer strecthing before the last part, it helped me to keep going. :) You're awesome!
Glad I could help!! Keep up the great work! Ciao Alessia :D:D:D
Intense but good. Thanks!
Perfect for you! Well done Bianca ! Ciao Alessia :)
Hi Alesia!!
I have to admit that your tips are really helpful.
I can see the difference in my legs,hands and balance!
Looking forward to try those tips on my turnouts!
Very good work,keep on!!
It's all thank to your hard work that you are achieving your goals! Be proud of yourself every moment of the day!
Love
Alessia

Alessia
lovvvee this workout!!!!
These videos are awesome!
It is wonderfull !!! You help me to improve my flexibility AND my English!!!❤😍😘
My calves have been so sore after doing this I've barely been able to walk for two days! 🤣🤣
Nice routine !!
It works so well !! Thanks
Bravo! :D
I love your videos (even when I'm too lazy to do them myself). It's so funny to think about you looking at yourself after the workout and narrating the video.. especially when you have to say bum so many times ;)
Ahhahah :D
Thank you! :D
Dear Alessia, nice to meet you! I'm from Argentina 🇦🇷. I can see you have a natural turn out. Even though I've red from you that it was not easy for you, but your ankles easyly touch the chair. In my case I haver like a "Pilates" turn out. I've tried your excercises. My feet are in the air despite rotating them. Is there something I can do? Previous? Or during your tips? Thank you very much! Greetings, Lucrecia
This video really impressed me, I loved it, thank you so much, u r so pretty and funny🥰
Can you plese make another one like this ❤
I loved this workout, although I doubt I'll be saying that tmrw, LOL
Ahahahah Good pain is good! Ciao and well done! Alessia :)
cheetahbug5 being able to walk the following day is good. Ten raises and done.
SUPER lazy dancer...
I loved this - in a weird 'it hurts' type of way :)
For some reason my turnout has been decreasing over the last couple of months so it's time to take action!!! I didn't have a chair so I used a Swiss ball which added to the challenge!!!!
I'll do this class every other day for a month and see how much I progress. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Hi Alessia :) I wanted to ask you something... As I'm doing the exercises I feel my lower back muscles getting tired and sore as well. Is this just because they are still weak and need to stabilize as well or am I doing something wrong? I would love to hear from you! All the best Liv xoxo
Hey! I'm not Alessia, but I study ballet professionally XD
The tip our teacher gives to us while doing this routine, is to really go down vértebra by vértebra. Like really touching the floor with every point of the spine while descending. It's almost like curving the lower back when going down.
Those muscles are working, so they're gonna still feel tired, but that way you are going to feel the work much more in you glutes and hamstrings.
Hope it helps!
@@ricardochimalcoatlroldanan4287 Hey! Oh wow that is a great tip thank you so much!
is there any chance for a slightly slower mini class on the barre? since I never ever did that before I don't really grasp it....like some advisory starter for dummies? 😉
+Claudia nawenberg lots more ballet barres for beginner coming , even ballet from a-z ! Stay tuned !!!👯👯👯👯👯😘😻💜
I'd like to add to this by saying icve always been intimidated but bar work because I never had strength, stamina, a nice point, and turn out. Bar was just down right horrible for me. Trying again now at 31, I feel like I absolute absolutely need a series of workouts before I get to bar work otherwise it's just sadness... have you developed those videos yets?
Yay, we love you!!
+J Patterson 😊😊😊😊🐒
I had fun with pain....haha
I think it's also good for other other sport players.
awesome~~~ thank u♥
Absolutely Min! What sport do you play? Let me know if I can help with anything in particular ! Ciao Alessia :D
Lazy Dancer Tips/ I was golf player when I was young but I don't play now..^^ I'm a......mom.....haha..actually I really hate to be chubby..so I need good exercises like home training..I need daily routine..and your's are fit to me..^^
Lazy Dancer Tips ah! n I wanted to get lady's beautiful line. there are enough muscle in my body. I needed that makes softly. I do your class everyday n I feel so good~.. I should do day by day^^
Wow Nicole, a golf mom! good on you! Never say you're chubby otherwise you will end up looking in the mirror and never be happy about yourself, it's just untoned muscles as you have been, up till now, a very active person! And now together we'll make sure all those muscles will be super toned!
I'm so glad you are part of the the Lazy Family! Please let me know anything in particular you want to work on, i'm sure you already have the lady's beautiful lines and poise and for you coordination and determination won't be a problem! Keep working and smiling, if you are happy your body is too! Kissy Kissy
I love this drill it's so effective and you are so pleasant and sweet made it hurt less^^
Well done to you! Bravo! Ciao Alessia :D
You are the best💯🌟💯🌟💯🌟💯🌟💯🌟
:D :D:D:D
That wasn't easy but really good!
Nope, this one is definitely hard! :)
now I am dead.....💀probably can't walk tomorrow. Love it sayed the masochist
How are you feeling today ? Can you walk? We all love a bit of evil exercises... they are worth it!!! :D:D:D Kissy kissy Alessia
Not too bad, will do the turnouts again later!
Fab! ready for some more good pain then ! Ciao :)
+Claudia nawenberg 💜🙆
How many times would you do this routine in a week? Is everyday too much?
Caitlin, you can do it as many time as your body can handle. Listen to how it feels and go for it :)
Lots of love
Alessia
@@lazydancertips Thanks! I love your videos 😊❤️
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL~~
Wooohooooo Welcome to the Lazy Dancer Family Tia! :D Ciao Alessia
thank you beautiful:) xo
Hi Alessia!!! Thank you so much for your tips. I am trying to do one of your classes every other day. It really helps.
My turnout is really bad. something like 90 degrees :-(. Is there any chance to improve it dramatically? I am 31.... does it make chances smaller? How frequent do you reccomend me to do this class? Thank you again!! Love you and your cats!! Kisses :-* Naama.
Naama, don't worry if you have a flat turnout, it will improve with time. I don't have a flat turnout either !!😘 Love Alessia
How do you know you are spiralling from your hips and not just turning out with your feet? Am I just bring paranoid that I am not doing it right?
if your bum, abs and back of the legs are on fire you are doing it right. If you feel your knees and ankles twisting then it's definitely not right :) Kissy
Is it normal to feel this also in my ankles and calf muscles? I'm a beginner dancer so maybe these parts of my body aren't as strong as your yet or perhaps I'm not doing it correctly
omg i thought i was going to die but i survived very good
Can this help with flexibility’s
Can i ask a question? I know I'm pretty late but anyways now I've decided to start working on my technique 😁. Im not at all flexible and my endehors is about 100° (i know😂), i wanna see relatively fast results how long will it take me to achieve at least 170° by doing this once a day?? Thank you😘
My natural turnout is 80° and I just started doing these exercises. So you can do it two! Never give up!
Where are you at rn?
I love your smile~~~♥
Thank you Nicole :D :D :D
I am eligible London
loved the cats work out :p lol
think he says: thanks God i dont need all this work out!
ahahah :D
Margot is the laziest furry thing you could ever come across...ahahha !
How do you know if you're spiraling from your hips?
The feeling should be of tights put on "wrong" and spiral all the way up to your hips. :)
who s still in 2021? :)
Me every time she pauses to stretch, yayy we are donee
Her nopeee
How beautiful you are!
This killed me and all I did was watch. lol
Margot be like
... Not impressed.
You are doing it wrong!! (Scratches your feet)
Me in the mean while *dies*
ahahhah she's never impressed :D ahahhah
Hey, how many times a week do you think I should do this workout in order to dramatically improve my turnout in positions like 4th and 5th? Thanks again!
You can do it as many time as you want, even every day Skyray ! :D Let me know how it goes ! Ciao Alessia :)
The cat is better than you doing slow developpe )))
Tell me about it! :D Ahahah ! Ciao Alessia
wow....became a bit stiff though😎
ahahahahah ! Not for long! Now that you are back on track you 'll be super fit in no time! :D Kissy
Margot be like
... Not impressed.
You are doing it wrong!! (Scratches your feet)
