Ep. 66 - Debunking the Turnout Myth in Adult Ballet: History, Reality & How to Improve - Interview with Geeky Ballerina founder, Chelsea Weidmann
Is "flat" turnout really necessary as an adult dancer? Is it even possible to improve my turnout? If you've asked yourself these questions, this episode is for you! We're joined by ballet teacher and Geeky Ballerina founder, Chelsea Weidmann, to discuss the history of turnout in ballet, why it’s not as essential as many adult dancers believe, and how to improve your turnout safely and effectively. This episode offers practical tips, myth-busting insights, and encouragement for every adult ballet dancer. Learn how to work with your body, instead of against it, and dance with more freedom in the studio. Grab your coffee and let's get into it!
