Well Rosin is good for on a dance floor. It's the turnout in a box. I practice floor barre and turning out while I am on my back. I am also very careful about turn out while I am practicing.

This is a good site.

I'm sorry I have always been able to do the turnout well. The most common exercise is the frog stretch or butterfly. It will take time and repitition. If you want help maybe you should talk to your dance instructor. She can give you exercises or extra help.
