I have issues with thinking I'm sickling, but my dance teacher always says I'm not.

The easiest way to find out is to dance infront of somebody who knows what sickling is and ask them if you are. Also, while your dancing just stop in mid dance and look down.

When you do things like tondues (I know horribly spelt wrong) try to push your heel forwards with your toes pulling after. When you do coupee (probably spelt wrong again) and my teacher always tells us our foot should pretty much be wrapped around our calf, with the heel in front and toes behind. Just practice.

Really rotate and use your turnout on releve to support your arch's weight between teh 2nd and 3rd toe.
go to a mirror if the toe half of ur foot is turned in or ur heel when you point is lower and it brakes the line then u are sickling also can happen when u rise
if your teacher tells you you're sickling, then pull up and try to go as high in relieve as you possibly can, then higher.

im not sure exactly how to describe sickling, but any dance teacher would. they can help you to get rid of the problem! good luck!!

basically, sickling (my arch enemy, lol, that is in my pecays) is when u turn in ur foot instead of turning it out. so if u are in releve and ur feet are going inward, that means u are sickling. to stop this, practice starting from first position (where ur feet are always turned out) and slowly go up onto releve. if ur feet tend to turn in, try slowly turning them out and hold that position for a while. hope it helps!
in releve if you are sickling, push your weight towards your big toe. and in general in order not to sickle think of trying to move your littletoe outward and stretching the inside of your foot. here is a pic of a sickled foot

the front foot in this pic is a little sickled, you can see the weight is not in the big toe because that side of her shoe is not on the ground.

her foot is not sickled

(see how the the arch side of her foot is being stretched?)

check in the mirror often to see how your feet look. and after a while you will start to just naturally not sickle, and it will feel weird when you are sickling.

i hope this helps!
From what I have been told by both dance teacher and dance shoe expert if you sickle then your shoes are not correct for you or the level that you are in.
Sickling is when your foot is turned in instead of out...if you are in a releve you just have to come down and do it again.
