Why Your À la Seconde Is Wrong And How to Fix It Without Perfect Turnout

À la seconde technique is not about forcing turnout. It’s about understanding how your hips, femurs, and deep rotators actually work.

In this video, I break down how to find your safest and strongest second position, why bringing the leg forward creates hip pinch, and how counter-rotation builds stability for turns.

You’ll learn:
• How to build turnout from parallel
• Why “fake turnout” causes pain
• How to lift without hip compression
• Exercises to strengthen real rotation
• How second affects pirouettes

Train smart. Train sustainably.
Remember to practise… for many years.
