**From Classical to Contemporary**
- The Romantic Tutu: Oh, the Romantic tutu! A long and flowing tutu designed to create the effect of weightlessness and effortless grace. This is the kind of tutu that you dream of as a little girl, the tutu that your favorite ballerina glides across the stage in. This tutu embodies the dream, the longing for a better world.
- The "The Whimsical" Tutu: Perfect for young and imaginative dancers. You might even see some bright, bold, playful colors! These can be great for the younger, developing ballerinas as they allow the tutus to spin around while not feeling heavy! I just love watching kids light up when they get their first whimsical tutu! This style really makes dance about joy, laughter and playful artistry!
- The "Modern" Tutu: For those who want to push the boundaries of what a tutu can be, modern ballet styles really offer up a dynamic take on the tutu. You might find asymmetrical tutus, sleek lines and even more abstract forms in modern dance. This one is super fun for modern dancers who enjoy expression.
- The "Contemporary" Tutu: And the "Contemporary" Tutu, the sleek tutu where form follows function, and simplicity reigns supreme. The "Contemporary" Tutu is all about minimalism, letting the movements of the body do the talking. Sometimes even using the most unique fabric textures, creating a bold look.
Where To Tutu
