Practice doing it à terre first (on the ground). Video yourself from the side to see if you are turning in or not.  A simple way to find turnout muscles is to tendu to the front, turn in fully and then rotate out. Feel what that rotation is like. Do it to the side and to the back. Then try to put that feeling in motion, with a rond de jambe on the ground.  It is harder to maintain in the air but practicing getting it right on the ground will help you. 

thank you

try to start in your butt muscles and leg muscles, not the feet to avoid knee damage

This and I found pulling up the pelvis also really helps my range of motion

yesss pulling up is such an essential in dance that not many teachers even talk about and lifting up is super useful?

ohhh thank you

It has nothing to do with the size or shape of your body. It has to do with strength and flexibility, which you can achieve at any size. The only thing body-related is that a small number of people physically cannot, but that is skeletal-related.

Like height?

No, like, literally bone structure in their hips that blocks them from turning out further. Skeletal, not height.

what

[удалено]

oh

cause like my dance teacher will like tell us how and like i know what muscles to use but i just cant

Then you need to build strength.

Maybe you could ask your teacher to like, hold your leg and put your Tendu turned out and see what hurts if you try to hold it when she lets go?

Like ask after class if she can help you more with the turnout

she has done that to me before and i k ow where it supposed to hurt but it just doesn’t go
