I'm a college student and a dancer, and I'm working to lose weight, gain muscle, become more fit... and help others do the same!

My Ask Box is always open to questions, suggestions, or if you just need to talk. If you'd like something to be answered privately, just let me know in the message. (Note: anonymous questions cannot be answered privately.)
“i know you mostly answer questions about fitness and health, but i figured since you're a dancer you might be able to help me. whenever i'm doing battements with my left leg, my hip seems to like come out of joint or something and i feel this annoying (and sometimes painful) pop when i release my leg. it never happens on the right side, just the left, and i'm not sure if it has to do with my turnout or if something's just wrong... any advice?”

I’d see a doctor about it. I have scar tissue in my left hip, which often causes a “pop” or a “thunk” when I’m doing extensions, but from what you’re describing, it might be an issue with the tendons or connective tissue in that hip.

  1. shed-away said: I have the same thing with my left hip and it’s called a snapping hip syndrome and if it is only uncomfortable than nothing can be done. But if you feel extreme pain, than go see a physician, because you can injure the ligament.
  2. exercisepsych said: Similar issue - due to dislocating my hip as a teen, it’s prone to falling out of place. Go check with a doctor and/or physiotherapist - they’ll give you some stretches to help!
