Скачать или смотреть №5 What is turnout? Reprogramming pelvic tilt in ballet

In the last video, I recorded myself taking a basic ballet barre. The challenge was to find one bad habit to fix. And I did: my pelvic tilt.

I looked around the internet for help, and in this video, I show what I found. The first pile of advice I stumbled upon was on Reddit:

I was going to try every single method in that thread, but luckily I found this video from Russia that solved my entire problem:

   • Секреты выворотности с Ксенией Корнейчук. ...  

The reason my pelvis was tilting was my incorrect turnout. I was not using my rotator muscles located behind my upper glutes. Instead, I was wrenching my hip flexors and my knees and squeezing everything into place, so there would be no chance of finding correct turnout even by accident.

Here, I go through the two exercises from the Russian video (sorry, it is in Russian) to loosen my turnout muscles and to achieve correct turnout.

I am also answering the arms challenge from a prior video. How to add the second position arms and not mess up your vertical line?
