Check out this stunning photo featuring ABT professional division student, Hannah Marshall wearing our Romantic tutu skirt and sweetheart bodice in Ballet Pink!
The photo is featured in the article, “Like Mother, Like Daughter – When Ballet Careers Run in the Family” in the April/May 2012 issue of Pointe Magazine. Doesn’t she look amazing..?!
We are so thrilled that one of our tutus is dancing with Cirque du Soleil. Look for the black classical tutu skirt in “Dancing Machine”!

Here’s a fun “behind the scenes” look at Pacific Northwest Ballet soloist, Lindsi Dec’s photo shoot video with Pointe Magazine!
In the shoot, Lindsi is wearing two ensembles; the first is Class Act Tutu’s V Neck Tutu Bodice (in wine) and Classical Tutu skirt in Wine/Black
The other one (as featured on p 10 of Pointe) is Vala Dancewear’s “Siren” in one of the new fabrics/colors we are testing (consider this a sneak peek!!!), along with Class Act Tutu’s Layered Romantic Tutu in our 5-Layer “Bird of Paradise” palette.
If you want to own one of these georgeous tutus worn by Lindsi in the Pointe Photo shoot, they are in our Sample Sale!
Not your size? No problem! Just contact us.

“Lindsi Dec steps out from the “Rubies” corps, lowering her arms slowly, a flash in her eyes. And then she bursts into action, her 5′ 9″ worth of angular beauty unfurling into head-high extensions. Darting and slinking through Balanchine’s hip-jutting steps, the Pacific Northwest Ballet soloist is having the time of her life. And so is the audience.” – Pointe Magazine
A huge “congratulations!” to Pacific Northwest Ballet soloist (and Vala Dancewear model), Lindsi Dec, the featured artist in the October/November issue of Pointe Magazine! Read all about Lindsi’s rise to fame here.
{PS: On page 10, Lindsi is modeling one of Class Act Tutu’s Layered Romantic Tutus. Don’t miss it!}
We just never know where our tutus might end up. Here is Sara Michell Murawski, Corps de Ballet, Dresden Semperoper Ballet “partnering” with the Tesla Roadster Sport!
This was a Class Act Bell Style Tutu in Tangerine purchased from our Sale section. Thank you, Sara. We just love a creative use of a tutu!
As we first reported way back in September, Class Act Tutu received the HUGE honor of having our white romantic tutu skirt used in the photo shoot for Pacific Northwest Ballet’s upcoming production of Giselle.
Completely re-staged and based entirely on the original 1841 Stepanov notation, PNB’s Giselle resurrects the long forgotten subtleties and complexities of ballet’s greatest – and most beloved – tragedy. We cannot wait to see it.
Here are some videos produced by Pacific Northwest Ballet including – what else? – our tutu skirt! The first is all about the creation of the actual Giselle poster, while the second features actual footage from the photo shoot itself. Enjoy! (PS: Amanda Clark – you look gorgeous!)
…and now, Ladies and gentlemen! The moment we’ve all been waiting for!
Ballet Austin’s gorgeous birds of “The Magic Flute” are ready for their close-ups! 
Woohoo!
Don’t they look amazing?! We just love how everything came together so beautifully! {Love that swoopy finishing touch!} You can all about this fanciful feathered tale (sorry, couldn’t resist) here.
Thank you, Ballet Austin for the terrific shout-out! We are honored and thrilled to have played a small role in your production’s success. Thank you for the opportunity!

This weekend April 16-17th, Olympic Ballet Theatre in Edmonds, Washington will reveal its most impressive display of artistic collaboration to date; I’m referring to Coppélia – The Girl with Enamel Eyes.

The work itself, which took 5 years and nearly $50,000 to complete, marks the end of founding Artistic Director, Helen Wilkins 30 year reign and ushers new Artistic Directors Oleg Gorboulev and Mara Vinson (both formerly of Pacific Northwest Ballet) into the royal court. (Insert wild, thunderous applause coupled with showers of confetti here)
“This charming light hearted ballet is one of the world’s best loved and carries with it the spirit of humor for the whole family. Honoring the legacy of Arthur Saint-Leo, who first produced the masterpiece in May 1870 at the Paris Opera, with music by Leo Delibes, this ballet is both classic and comedy. The importance of such a theatrical treasure is not lost on the OBT design team, “a project of this scope is exciting to do and we are happy to have the right amount of time to get it done well!” said Craig Wollam, technical director of the Seattle Scenic Studios.” – Olympic Ballet Theatre Press Release.
And not to toot our own horn but… (TOOT!), Class Act Tutu is proud to have played a part in this extraordinary production as well! Look for our Classical and Romantic tutus featured in the “Dawn” scene.
The performances take place at Edmonds Center for the Arts on Saturday, April 16 at 2:00 & 7:00 PM and Sunday, April 17 at 3:00 PM. Prices are $20 for children 10 and under, $25 for students through high school and seniors, and $30 for adults. Service charges apply. All seats are reserved. Tickets for all performances may be purchased by calling ShowClix at 1.888.71.TICKETS, or online at www.olympicballet.showclix.com.
In closing, we’d just like to say “MERDE” to all the dancers!!! We know you’re going to be great!
