Advanced & Stylized Performance Tutus Course Kits

If you have constructed traditional tutus and are ready for a serious challenge, this Advanced Tutu Class is for you. The focus in this class is on style, imagination, technique, knowledge, and very hard work! Advanced projects include completely double-hand-pleated tutus; roll-hemmed 19-layer Faerie tutus; Spanish-style-multi-width-top-ruffled tutus; Ribbon-Candy tutus - either the top layer only, attached to an over-basque, or a full tutu with a cartridge-pleated and ribboned top layer; Claudia’s Fusion tutu design – a beautiful tutu fusing both the classical and romantic techniques; contemporary-style “Potato-Chip” and “Flying Saucer” tutus; half and half Wild Side tutus; the Mariinsky-inspired Bell-shaped Classical tutu, Claudia’s “Odalisque” design that mixes a neutral-colored tutu net with three different colors of soft tulle for a watercolor effect; a vintage French-style technique of alternating the way each row is attached, and then attaching an easily removable basque, allowing the tutu to be adjustable for dancers of different heights and body types. We also offer our Firebird/Bluebird Tutu & Bodice project perfect for any bird role! You will learn several ruffling techniques, including Tutu.Com’s signature double-hand pleating method.

Class Length: 3 days for all projects except the Contemporary styles, both of which (Potato Chip and Flying Saucer) can be completed in two days.
