That is what a classical tutu looks like from underneath, in case you didn't recognize it. It's also EXACTLY as much of a pain in the ass to wrangle through a sewing machine as you would think. I also made little white leotards with sparkly business to go along with it. I am going to rehearsal tonight specifically to see what the heck is going on with these things.
I also shared a nice conversation with one of my coworkers about starting ballet as an adult. She started pointe at 38! That is my goal: pointe before I'm 40. At first my goal was "pointe before Jenny" Jenny being my young niece-in-law who was taking ballet lessons (name changed to protect the innocent), but I'm not sure she's stuck with it.
Yes it is just as much a pain as it looks!! Very nice!!! I want to see the whole thing :)
ReplyDeleteI'm 31 and started pointe after starting back just befor my 31 birthday... Yeah only have been back to dance for 7 months... After a 17 yr hiatus...
