pose turns

[JGC]

can anyone tell me whether the foot should come in front of the knee or behind in pose turns - my old teacher was always telling me to put it in front, but everyone in my new class (i moved to a new town) puts it behind and the teacher doesn't complain. and not for want of complaining lol! it is rad intermediate and she corrects a heck of a lot of other things and at least one 1 of them i think is planning to take the exam soon.
thanks

You've had this same question on ballet.co.uk lol!!
I've always put mine behind for RAD, because the RAD are soooo fussy about technique, that if you put it behind, then you have to use better turnout, so they say behind.
But in different syllabi/ choreography, you MAY be asked to put it in front... but as a general rule, behind.
