Cool stuff you can learn at our tutu seminar


Just another example of what you can learn~
not only "construction" or "design" but how to make it work for your clients needs. Does it need to be alter-able? Will you be able to fit it before finishing all the trims? just having to take in a inch in the front would could easily run a beautiful "design". We'll learn "what you need to know" before construction begins.

How good is the "Tutus that Dance" seminar? Here is what one of last years students has to say.

Last year Linda came all the way from Perth, Australia to attend the Tutus that Dance seminar in Las Vegas. This is what she had to say about her experience.

"I had started to fall in love with tutu making about a year before the seminar when my daughter needed a tutu for her first solo and I discovered Tutus That Dance’s fabulous patterns.  Whilst the information I had already learnt from online sources had helped me make several tutus, I knew that an opportunity to learn tutu construction in person, from experts, would provide an opportunity to accelerate my learning and help me achieve the results I wanted much faster.  Suzanne and Dani are both excellent instructors, fun, patient and so very generous with their extensive knowledge.  With a backdrop of Las Vegas, a great venue at Suncoast for sewing and dining as well as a fabulous, friendly group of attendees ranging from fellow beginners to accomplished costume creators, every element worked together to make this an amazing, inspirational and fun experience.  I came away from the Tutu Seminar with new skills, new friends, great memories, two very full suitcases stuffed with tutus and the inspiration that comes from meeting others who are already living your dream.  I can’t wait until I can come back!"

Here are some of the beautiful tutus Linda has made. using the knowledge she gained at the seminar.
Linda made this stunning tutu for her daughter to wear at ballet competitions.

This traditional tutu is made from Suzanne's pattern

Linda also learnt to make headpieces at the seminar.

Suzanne made this beautiful tutu and it was decorated by the dancer's mother. Perfect fit and lovely lines.

Stretch lycra classical tutus

 Guest teacher Dani Legge will be at our seminar in August, teaching stretch tutu making. These tutus are perfect for growing girls and also for schools as the same tutu will fit (and fit well) on different body shapes. Here are a few examples.




Learn to make a ballet tutu

Learn to make a ballet tiara

Some examples of the sorts of ballet headpieces you can learn to make.




Proof that stretch tutus can look fabulous!

For anyone who thinks that stretch tutus are only a second rate version of "proper" tutus, here is Ashleigh McKimmie of Australia winning the Cecchetti International Ballet Competition in Manchester UK last year, in a stretch tutu made by guest teacher Dani Legge.

Some photos from previous seminars








Not all romantic tutus are the same!

Not all romantics are created equal. Silhouette, movement and style are determined by the nets and tulles used, the number of layers and the amount in each. These are what you'll learn in the ROMANTIC CLASS~

Giselle romantic tutu

Learn how to make a stunning romantic tutu like this one at the our tutu seminar in August.

This tutu is a combination of our "magic" bodice and a traditional skirt.
Dancers are Yoomi Lee and Kuydong Kwak, costumes by Suzanne Dieckmann and wardrobe department of the Las vegas Ballet Company.
