This is a problem for many dancers, because ballet is all about "turnout". You need to concentrate on turning out from your hip joint. It's a funny feeling, but imagine your femur-bone "turning out" in your hip socket all the time, whatever exercise you are doing. Basic stretches to loosen your hips is effective as well.

Practice in your ballet shoes. Work on your turn out in each ballet position. Eleves and Releves in Ballet 1st, 2nd, and Premiere Positions, Tendus. When you stretch concentrate on Ponite and Flex when you do that turn your feet out to Ballet 1st Position and then Pointe your toes in that Position. Remember to Practice Everyday.|||I am a dance teacher, and in my pre-pointe classes, the girls focus on turn-out exercises like ankle presses, develloppe plie's at the barre, passe's at the wall, and develloppes lying on the floor.
