Course Description: Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, Classical Performance Tutu Level Two offers two options to fit your needs - working with tutu net only (Single Color) OR working with both tutu net and enhanced sparkle tulle (Blended Color). It also offers the option to learn how to work with our Removable Lower Tutu Panty, an incredible innovation, designed by Claudia Folts, allowing you to easily remove the lower panty for cleaning and replacement when needed. 

This seminar teaches it all, expanding on the knowledge learned in Level One of this course, including figuring how much fabric you will need, how to mathematically figure amounts needed for different rows when using different colors, cutting the layers, scalloping vs. dagging, panty construction and specific adjustments for a better fit - dart-tapering on the panty to create cupping underneath the rear end. We will be expanding on basque patterning with customizable tweaks, various ruffling techniques, tricks for sewing the net on the panty, and much, much more. We will teach both time-honored techniques and many of our newest ideas and innovations, born from the Tutu.Com Shop - the only shop in the country that makes tutus every, single day.

Learn everything you need to know to make your own beautiful, professional, performance-ready Classical Tutus. You will continue to work on several ruffling techniques, including Tutu.Com’s signature double-hand pleating method. As part of this class, you will receive “The Classical Tutu Book” by Claudia Folts, her 57-step “Cheat Sheet” to help you remember the steps in order when you get home, plus her step-by-step, basque-patterning instructions, complete with full-color photographs and an easy-to-use math worksheet, designed by Elizabeth Ekey, of Tutu Theatre, one of our tutu teachers, and introduction to a great measurement calculator designed by former TutuSchool student, Emily Raynor. You will also receive our new, Basque Patterning Tweaks Worksheet and our step-by-step instructions for our signature pleating method.

If you would like to continue your tutu training with detailed finish work, you will also want to sign up for Classical Tutu Finishing Techniques – The Art of Steaming/Hooping/Tacking. We do touch on these techniques in the Classical Performance Tutu class, but there simply is not enough time to go in-depth with these very valuable finishing techniques.
