Turnout is classical ballet positioning. It means, simply, that the heels are together and the toes are turned out. It's critical in first, second and fifth position. A good turnout doesn't happen at the ankles but begins with the hips, and you have to learn how to open your hips to achieve it, which means concentrating on supporting your head above your spine. That all sounds confusing, but it isn't really. When you dance, your head sort of floats above your spine, and your spine hangs from it, giving you a looseness and a limber line. That gives your hips the freedom to open. It's something like mind over matter, but if you consciously think about your feet and hips, or your spine, for that matter, you weigh yourself down. If you think of your head as floating, it gives your body a lightness.
Anyway, that's the best I can explain it.

A turnout is what we dancers get from rotating our feet and thighs outwards so much during ballet and other such types of dance.

a significant reason is that we do not require our voters to take area, compared to Brazil. on the state and local factor, the turnout is even decrease. i'm no longer writing an essay for you. Use those 2 factors to go back up which includes your own content cloth.

It's a foot position in ballet.
a rotation of the leg (commonly practiced in classical ballet) which comes from the hips, causing the knee and foot to turn outward, away from the center of the body. This rotation allows for greater extension of the leg, especially when raising it to the side and rear

turnouts are how far u can do a 1st position in ballet, that means putting your feet together to form a V, and as your turnout gets better your feet can form a perfect line, meaning u can put for heels together w/out pain in your knees. but thats only one position. and youll notice with dancers when they put their feet together (like mine for example) their knees are turned inward, but when they put their feet in 1st position their knees are straight, plus I walk with my feet turned out a little (looks kinda funny), but thats how u can tell if someone is a dancer or not!

Turnouts refer to dancers who are mostly prominent in ballet and/or lyrical. They rotate their hips so that from their hips down to their toes aren't parallel. I hope this helped!!

Turn out helps stablize a dancer and looks better astetically. You turn out your leg by turning your leg from the hips down towards a wall so that your heels are touching. Be careful not to over rotate beyond your physical capabilities. Also if you turn out from the knees, that's bad, which is why I said turn out from the hips.
