Instantly become more kinesthetically aware using the latest research on Turnout.
"Dancers often have an inaccurate perception of the joint action and muscle use in turnout. Clarifying the anatomical reality helps them to use it efficiently"
"Confusion regarding the use of turnout is prevalent. Dancers are frequently uncertain how much turnout they have or how to use it properly"
"Since many dancers are visual, kinesthetic, & spatial learners, it is important to address multiple styles through anatomical drawings, skeletons, somatics, palpation, self-touch, imagery, & spatial instructions"
