Hip problems with ballet?
Every time I have to do a grand battement/saut de chat/ anything that you have to stretch your legs in ballet, my right hip seems to pop out of the socket and I have to pop in back in with my hand after the exercise. It doesn't really hurt, but I feel like this shouldn't happen... Does anyone know what this is, or how I can stop it? Thanks!
Also, I've been dancing for a very long time and I've never had any problems with my hips before this, which started about a month ago when fall classes started.
It doesn't pop or anything, but it definitely feels just really disconnected...

I've had similar problems, does it make a noise when it pops? If it does, then you might have a condition known as "snapping hip" or "dancer's hip" where a ligament passes over a bone and makes a loud snapping noise when it is stretched (or kicked). If it feels like your hip dislocates, it might be that you have extremely lose ligaments. This occurs frequently in people who are double jointed or hyperextended. My ballet teacher was trained at the vaganova academy and she said to rest it, quit doing battements and jumps, and if it starts hurting you know the drill; heat before, ice after. If it doesn't stop, DEFINATELY mention it to your doctor, you don't want anything else dislocating.
