The sheer volume of different tutu styles was impressive – we had everything from the classic Romantic tutu, with its fluffy, multi-layered skirt, to the more streamlined and modern bodice and tutu ensembles that gave the dancers freedom of movement. You can't deny the classic appeal of a romantic tutu, with it’s fluffy and multilayered tulle. It always conjures a feeling of awe, it’s like an airy dream. But the modern ensembles had a sleek sophistication that really brought the dancers' moves into the limelight. Every dancer seemed to be perfectly matched with their own tutu, accentuating their individuality and the sheer joy of dance.
