Unlock Safer, Stronger, More Controlled Turnout in Just 6 Weeks
Why this training program is DIFFERENT
Most turnout training still relies on outdated methods (like forcing your knees down in butterfly or pushing your feet back while standing) but real turnout doesn’t come from your feet...
This program trains how turnout actually works: with a combination of targeted mobility for both internal and external rotation, strength for your deep external rotators and glutes, and control that holds your turnout through movement, not just at the barre.
The Perfect Turnout Plan is a science-based, dancer-specific system designed to build safe, lasting turnout from the inside out. Here's how:
We train for how turnout actually works
Turnout isn’t just about pushing your feet or knees further, it’s about what your hips are doing. This program trains the muscles that actually control turnout: your deep rotators, glutes, and adductors. You’ll build strength, mobility, and control from the inside out, so turnout feels more stable, powerful, and natural across all positions.
We build functional strength and mobility
You’ll improve the exact movement capacity dancers need: safe external rotation, internal rotation, mobility, and hip control. Through progressive strength drills and mobility work, you’ll unlock more usable turnout without pain or forcing, so it holds up from plié to développé to pirouette.
We keep it practical and effective
You don’t need hours of stretching to improve your turnout. With just 30 minutes, twice a week, you’ll build the strength, alignment, and mobility your hips need, without overtraining or risking joint stress. It's smart, structured training designed to actually show up in your technique.
About me...
Hi, I'm Monica - a former professional dancer turned dance-science and S&C specialist after a serious hip injury at 17 nearly ended my career. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve helped thousands of dancers build stronger, more stable, injury-resistant bodies through science-backed strength training.
Turnout is one of the most misunderstood elements in dance, and one of the most commonly forced. I created this plan to help dancers move beyond outdated methods like pushing the knees down or forcing the feet back, which often create tension or injury instead of true rotation. This training program focuses on what actually drives turnout: deep hip rotators, glutes, and full hip joint mobility.
Whether you’re struggling to hold turnout in center work, feel tight in the hips, or want to improve your alignment and stability without pain, this plan gives you the tools to do it safely. You’re not just stretching, you’re retraining how your body supports rotation from the inside out.

What our students are saying
You've got questions we've got answers (FAQ's)
This 6-week program is comprehensive and progressive, with modifications provided for every exercise and written cues to help you perform each movement safely and correctly. However, if you’re recovering from an injury, it’s always best to check with your physio or healthcare provider before starting. Many dancers use it to rebuild strength and control safely, but individual needs can vary.
It’s a one-time payment of $87 USD. You get lifetime access to the full course, including all video demos, self-assessments, and the downloadable PDF.
Absolutely! The program is designed to progress every 2 weeks, starting with more foundational work and gradually building in complexity. Every exercise comes with written regressions (to make it easier) and progressions (to make it more challenging), so you can adapt the training to your current level.
Everything is hosted on LearnWorlds, my online course platform. Once you purchase, you’ll get immediate access to the full program, including video demos, exercise cues, and downloadable resources.
Absolutely! Most sessions take just 20–30 minutes, and the program includes 2 workouts per week, each one specifically designed to target the muscles that matter most for safe, sustainable turnout. You’ll focus on strengthening the deep hip rotators, improving pelvic control, and building the mobility needed for full, functional rotation. You’ll also get clear guidance on how to integrate this training into your weekly routine without overtraining, inside the“How to Use This Program” section.
Not much! You’ll need a yoga mat, two yoga blocks, a soft Pilates ball (small one, optional), a long resistance band, a loop band, and a set of light weights (especially for the more advanced levels). That’s it, everything can be done at home or in the studio, no fancy equipment required.
Most dancers start noticing real changes in 3–4 weeks with consistent practice: things like smoother turnout during movement, less tension in the hips, and easier alignment overall. You might feel more stable in your positions, stronger in your external rotation, and less reliant on forcing your knees or feet. Long-term improvements in hip mobility, deep rotator strength, and pelvic control continue to build over time, but this program is designed to deliver clear, visible progress week by week by targeting the exact muscles that support safe, effective turnout.
Unlike random influencer workouts, this program is built specifically for dancers who want to improve their turnout, not just stretch deeper in butterfly. Most influencer-style routines focus on forcing the shape (pushing knees down or feet back) without addressing the strength, mobility, and control needed to actually achieve turnout safely. This is a structured, progressive system that targets the real foundations of functional turnout: hip mobility (both internal and external), deep rotator strength, pelvic stability, and neuromuscular control.
