I am the poster above, I have taught ID and Ballet and the emphasis is different . If a Ballet dancer did hop two three's, the underneath leg would be turned out to the side. There are no adage movements in ID where a strong, sustained turnout is required. If your DD is at a competetive Ballet school, which was what I was refering to in my post, her turnout would be being forced more than in an ID class. Because as in ID they want the finished artical from their dancers at a very young age. This is what I feel does more damage to young joints than anything else. Hence my comments above. Your DD must go to a Ballet school that does not enter that many, if any festivals or she would find the lesson structure to be the same as her ID class. -- For the love of the dance
