Please do more tutu show and tells! Watching this was a fun treat or "reward" after finishing my Everyday Ballet tutorial :-)
So glad you enjoyed it! More to come! 🙏💕🩰
What fun!! Such exquisite handiwork on it...beautiful. And what a treat to see your elegant dancing...just, wow!
Thank you so much! It's so strange to see myself dancing from over 20 years ago! So glad you enjoyed the video!
Your channel is so therapeutic I love it 💕
Thank you so much!! Glad you are enjoying it! :-D
This is soooo amazing!!!! I loved every second of it ❤❤❤ thank you so much for sharing this and taking the time of showing every detail. I would LOVE to watch more tutu show and tells!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’ll definitely do more of these with my other costumes. 😊🌸🩰
Love to see this beautiful Tutu and to know your story about it.
Thank you! 🙏♥️🩰
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I had no idea how complicated tutu design could be, and now understand why that is good for both dancer and tutu. Your classes here on CZcams have been so enjoyable, I enrolled in your online program. I am having the time of my life each day! Thank you so much for all of your expertise and hard work, and--most of all--passion for ballet (and I think students, too).
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! And I'm DELIGHTED you are loving the online program!!!! It is truly a labor of love... It makes me so happy to share what I love with others with the hope that it helps and inspires them, too. THANK YOU! 🙏🏻💕🩰
That is SO cool! That would be a really great idea for dance schools working on slim budgets.
Yes!! And it makes for less to carry! 😊🌸🩰
I have watched this video many times and I love the video not only for the information on what makes a tutu but to actually see actual video clips of you dancing on stage. I would like to see more clips if you have any.
I do have other clips that I will try to publish in future. I am cautious about posting anything that includes images of others and do so sparingly. But yes! I plan to post more! Thanks for the suggestions! 🙏✨🩰
I love black swan Tutu everything Black swan variation. Oh how i crave to learn it
This video is old but I have to say that as someone who just started getting really interested in ballet (I've done the ballet exercises on this channel) and I also enjoy sewing this was a great video and cool to see what goes into making a tutu 🥀 and it's awesome how it can be used for different ballets.
So glad you enjoyed it! Tutus are so fun!!! 💕🩰✨
Thank you. I sew for the stage but have just made my first tutu at four days notice. Used a leotard as no time to make the bodice before the filming, only the plate and basque. Will eventually make a matching bodice so found this very helpful information. thank you very much indeed.
Congratulations! That's wonderful! I'm glad you found the video helpful and I wish you all the best as you make these extraordinary costumes! :-D
@@everydayballet Thank you so much!I have seen a little bit of the dancer in the tutu and regret not making the basque an inch or so longer in the back now! However someone else much thinner will be wearing it after so I have a chance to redeem myself. I just shared this video on face book.
👏👏👏💕🌸🩰
I would love it if you did a tutorial on your beautiful voluminous bun in this video. I loved this video!
That's a wonderful idea! (But I must admit my bun technique is quite "messy"). I'll put this on my list for upcoming videos!
I seriously LOVE your channel💕💕
Thank you! So glad you’re enjoying my videos. More to come! 🙏🩰🌸
Such a fun video! I wasn’t expecting the snaps!
Glad you liked it!! :-D
👏👏👏👏beautiful tutu!
So glad you enjoyed the video-thanks for watching! 🙏😊🩰
Hello Tiekka,
Avalyn and I watched this. I loved hearing Avalyn ooo and gasp, as you transformed your tutu. Thank you for sharing 🙂
So glad Avalyn enjoyed it!!! Are you doing the online program together? How’s it going? 💕😊🩰
@@everydayballet Yes, Avy likes to pick out the exercise. She only gets about half though because she tires easily.
Oh, I’m so glad! Hugs to you both! 🤗
This was so informative! Never knew all of this about tutus. :)
They’re a world unto themselves! 😊🩰🌸
That was interesting!
🙏🌸🩰😊
Interesting I always had the impression that ballet tutu is pink.
Tutus can be any color. The term denotes the style of the skirt. This is a "classical" tutu, but some might also call it a "pancake" tutu. 🌸😊🩰
Thank you so much for deconstructing the tutu. I am new to ballet and nice to have an understanding of the many parts that come together to make a beautiful and important piece.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 🙏🌸🩰
I wonder if there's going to be a video about turns in the future.
Yes-I’m working on this! 🩰💕
lovely informative video! i've been doing some research for character design and this has been very helpful. speaking of, im curious: why do ballet tutus seldom feature loose or longer sleeves (something like a balloon sleeve)? is it concern about things catching (the same logic about having nothing embellished around the waist), or is it the risk of the fabric hiding the lines of the arms? thanks in advance, if you're able and willing to answer
Thank you! Actually, you’ve answered your own question! Anything beyond a short “flutter” sleeve increases the possibility of fabric getting caught on a headpiece or partner’s costume. Also, ballet arms are so lovely so showing them is typical. That said, there are some tutu costumes that have long sleeves. Le Corsaire and La Bayadere tutus often have sleeves. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🙏🩰💕
Hey ma'am, how do you maintain proper posture every time you go down on a plie? And what is the proper ballerina posture?
These are EXCELLENT questions! I'm actually working on a video that details how to have Ballerina Posture, so definitely look for that in the coming weeks. In the meantime.... In a nutshell, proper posture has to do with core support and a spine that is lightly lengthening upwards without tension in the neck & shoulders. For plié, don't go down into grand plié until/unless you can maintain your posture. It will take time to get the core strength to keep your spine tall as you bend the knees out over the toes. For now, work on mastering demi-plié (which is the most important!), making sure you are hugging in your core and keeping a tall spine every time you bend the knees. And wait until you are stronger to do deeper (grand) pliés. Hope this helps! :-D
thanks!!
太漂亮了
i have heard that ballet can cause lasting injuries to the foot
is it true if so how bad it usually is?
can they be prevented?
thanks
i really love your videos btw
Ballet does not generally cause lasting injury to the feet. ( For instance, I danced at a professional level for 28 years and never had a serious foot injury.) BUT it is very important to engage proper technique to prevent the possibility of injury! For this reason, it is imperative to practice and master the basics before progressing. Sometimes dancers are so excited to advance and/or wear pointe shoes, that they rush into it without having developed the proper strength and alignment. This can cause injury. Also, pointe shoes can cause superficial injuries (blisters, abrasions, bruising) and contribute to irritation of bunions. But generally speaking, proper technique and strength prevent injury. 😊🩰
thanks a lot
I just had a doubt,
Can we get fitted online for pointe shoes?
Am not qualified yet but definitely wanna try
Thanks for ur time
You'll have to do a bit of research on that... I would imagine that pointe shoe manufacturers are now offering this service because of COVID, but I am not sure. But definitely get permission from your ballet instructor before attempting pointe! It's VERY important to have the correct alignment and strength so as not to get hurt. :-)
Hi amazing
Where could we buy that kind of tutu online worldwide?
🙏🌸💕🩰
This was a custom made tutu from 25 years ago, but there are some tutu makers that will do custom orders. If you do a search, you’ll find them. My recommendation is to see if you can find someone locally, as going in for a fitting is always best. But any good maker will ask for very specific measurements if you cannot get fitted in-person. 😊🌸🩰
I'm curious to know how much this customized tutu cost.
This tutu cost about $700 when it was made 25 years ago.
Where do you buy professional tutus. I really want to buy some. Do you have any links or websites?
Professional tutus are usually made by the wardrobe department of a professional ballet company or a costume designer team that is hired to create them. There are tutu makers who specialize in costuming for dance schools that will work with you to create a personalized tutu. Because I have my performance tutus, I haven’t sought these services, but a bit of research should provide several options. Hope this helps! 😊🌸🩰
Would you tell me, is there any stays in the bodice? What is worn under the tutu? How are they cleaned?
Excellent questions! There are sometimes flexible stays in the seams of the bodice, but not in this tutu. We generally wear pink (that match our tights) dance trunks or other colors as needed. The costumes are usually spot-cleaned, sprayed with deodorizing solution, and gently steam-cleaned as needed. Hope this helps! 🤗💗🩰🌸
Thank-you for those answers. (: The inside of the bodice looks a bit uneven. Is a camisole or bra worn between it to protect the skin? @@everydayballet
Generally no camisole is worn, but some dancers may elect to wear an undergarment for support. Most often, it’s just skin under the bodice and dance trunks over tights.
my size large or xl in women tutu dress
If you search on Amazon, you can find L and XL tutus. You may want to remove the slip liner to get the ballet effect, but that's pretty easy to do. Good luck! 🥰🩰🌸
