I've got back into dancing this year and my turnout is so bad! I always struggled when I was younger just because of how my hips are but because I'm out of practice I'm awful! Can't wait to try these! Although I am no where near middle splits, yikes, she's a few cm from the wall and I'm like a metre

Claudia you are an incredible educator and anyone would love your positive company. If only there were more like you

I've never had the best turnout due to my funky hips. I was born with hip dysplasia, so my hips have always been crazy tight. That's partially why I couldn't pursue a career in ballet, as much as I wish I could have! But, as a ballet teacher now, I want to be able to actually DO the exercises with my students, not just tell them what to do. I'll definitely be taking advantage of this video A LOT for myself!

I just started taking ballet classes at my uni as a beginner! This is going to be so helpful! Thank you , Claudia! 😍💓

Girls, I love watching you, you always smile and have so much fun when exercising. It's lovely. You always make me feel like I can do more and reach my goels. ❤️

lovely Claudia and Lola. You're really do put the joy into dance! 💐

God bless y’all and have a great day✝️🌈🥰🤍

I’m quite rusty because I took a year off due to personal reasons. I’ll definitely be practicing this and ankle and knee strengthening!

At 4:50 Lola new she could do a complete straddle split which might explain why straddled against the wall SO INCREDIBLY FAST to get a "WOW" reaction out of Claudia!!! Such an amazing dancer and I can't keep taking notice of her incredibly strong legs even in tights! Strong and flexible quads are an amazing thing to work for. Don't lose the flexibility Lola!

I have nice turnout, but EVERYONE can improve theirs further! Thanks Claudia! -Fellow Ballet Dancer🩰

Hi Claudia, I know you won’t see this but I am a big fan. I really love your videos and you have helped me so much ! Every time I was sad or no feeling too well I would go on KZfaq and watch your amazing videos. I am now on pointe and in December I am doing a competition on pointe! I love your journey and I once went to royal ballet too but only in JAs because I am French and I had to leave England because of Brexit and COVID. I did the Paris opera auditions but I didn’t get in because they told me that I was 9 and a half years old so I was between two auditions so I couldn’t get judged so I had to wait next year. Now I am training and learning from you and my ballet teacher. Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️🩰🩰🩰🩰 Love you Claudia🥰🥰🥰🥰

Claudia I just ordered your diary and I’m SOOO excited for it to come 😍💕 Thanks for this vid x

Lola is adorable 🥰

Claudia I got my Leo the other day and I love it so much 🤍 The fabric is stunning . The only prob I have is that it’s not very supportive. But I love it so much ✨✨✨✨ love ya

Finally something for me I really know I have to work a lot on.

omg Lola is so grown up.... last I saw her in your videos was the stage makeup tutorial

YAYYY!! Love love lovee your videos miss claudia!!! ❤️❤️❤️

thanks a lot, this will help me out a lot

Hi Claudia thank u for this video! It'll help me a lot. As well thanks to the beautiful Lola :)

Great strength exercises Thankyou

Wow I wish I looked as good as Lola in that peach leotard!

wow, it did really help! (I'm a beginner) -- thanks so much!!

Great exercises with that rubber band 👌😮

Awesome videooo! I’m literally trying these hacks now!

Thanks so much!!!! Can you please post a beginner pointe class or something for beginners starting pointe? ILYSM!!!😀

❤❤❤ By the way I have to buy the band. Please: what level of resistance should the elastic band be for ballet exercises? Light (red) or medium (green)? Thanks!

At 4:53 she couldn't wait to show you full straddle against the wall. I like how you fellow dancers that still amaze you? And this full flat split against the wall was accomplished during one summer intensive camp??

Hello Claudia, can you make a video or give tips to get on pointe? I struggle with getting on pointe because instead of getting on pointe, I jump on pointe especially on Relevé. This causes me to get exhausted easily and lose my strength to continue dancing. I try to avoid jumping but I always notice myself doing a slight bouncing motion when I get up even on my leather shoes.

Wow.

Claudia❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😄

Bro lolas soo food at dance lol

It's author cool video

I feel horrible.. I’m like 2 feet from the wall..

The thing is that there are no hacks for real turnout which makes dancing ballet stable and safe. All these exercises and hacks are actually not useful as turnout is something that depends of the work of the whole body and of the correct placement of every part of the body. Doing exercises with a band won't help with having sustainable turnout. In order to improve the turnout, the total engagement of the muscles in correct position is needed - so the engagement of butt, core, legs and back at the same time. And it's the question of strength, not stretching, as it's not possible to stretch yourself for turnout. Period.
