Claudia Folts, Founder

I’ve been in your shoes - searching for expert guidance and top-notch materials - and I’m here to share what I’ve learned over four decades in the ballet costuming industry. Avoid the trial-and-error by learning from someone who’s already navigated it.

ELEVATE YOUR ARTISTRY

Professional Quality, Fully Customizable Tutus

Start with a made-to-order professional-quality tutu base and simply add a removable tutu plate overlay - voilà! Transform your tutu from studio-ready to stage-perfect, saving you time and money with a durable design built to last. Fully customizable to suit your style, fit, and budget, this versatile tutu lets you mix and match overlays for endless creative possibilities.

CLASSICAL TUTU - MADE TO ORDER

Choose from three iconic silhouettes - Russian-Style Pancake, Softly-Sloped English Classical, or Mariinsky-Style Bell. Select from 32 vibrant colors or request a custom dye for a perfect match. Personalize every detail - pick your preferred number of net layers, add a hoop for structure or tacking for a classic finish, and specify your skirt length and waistband style to fit your needs.

ROMANTIC TUTU - MADE TO ORDER

Customize an elegant, romantic silhouette with 4, 5, or 6 rows of soft tulle, optional net layers or sparkling tulle top layers in gold or silver. Select your preferred skirt length and closure style. The tutu is built on a drop-waist woven fabric basque, with options like a quilted hip line for extra comfort and support. Additional color or design requests are welcome.

Each seminar provides the opportunity to work at your own pace, choose your own projects, and receive personalized support from instructors.

Details on all courses are available in our Course Catalog and city-specific seminar website pages. The typical duration of each course varies depending on the complexity of the project, ranging from several hours to as long as five days.
