Abstract

<p>[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of turnout on the standing and plier postures in the introductory stage of classical ballet instruction. [Participants and Methods] Thirteen female ballet dancers and thirteen females with no dance experience participated in this study. The standing and plier postures in parallel and turnout position were photographed in the sagittal plane, and the posture angle, ear-neck angle, pelvic angle, and horizontal distance from the vertical line to the anatomical measurement point were measured. [Results] Ballet dancers had more posterior tilt, cervical extension, and anterior aspect of the xiphoid process in the plier posture than non-dancers. [Conclusion] The results suggest that ballet dancers maintain vertical posture by segmental movement of the spine during turnout; therefore, we consider it effective to teach ballet dance beginners to improve spinal mobility and pelvic tilt movement.</p>
