Skirts & Tutus — Frequently Asked Questions

What types of dance skirts do you stock in Australia?

Total Dance Australia stocks wrap skirts, chiffon skirts, circle skirts, pull-on ballet skirts, and tutu skirts. Options range from basic class skirts to performance-quality tutus. Styles suit ballet, contemporary, lyrical, and competitive dance use.

What is the difference between a rehearsal tutu and a performance tutu?

Rehearsal tutus are made from durable, washable fabrics and are designed for daily class use. Performance tutus use more layers of tulle and finer fabrics for a full, polished stage look. For most class students, a rehearsal-style skirt or tutu is the practical choice.

How do I size a ballet skirt?

Ballet skirts are typically sized by waist measurement. Wrap skirts offer adjustable fit and are forgiving across sizes. Check the product description for the waist range and length. For children, measure the natural waist and compare to the size guide.

What fabric should a ballet skirt be made from?

Lightweight chiffon and georgette are classic choices for ballet skirts as they flow beautifully during movement. Tulle is used for tutu styles. Skirts with a Lycra waistband or wraparound tie offer a more secure and comfortable fit during class.

Are your tutus suitable for RAD and CSTD examinations?

Some of our tutu and skirt styles are suitable for exam use. Check with your teacher for specific colour and style requirements, as different syllabuses have different dress codes. We stock classic exam colours including pink, black, and white.

Can dance skirts be machine washed?

Most chiffon and lightweight dance skirts can be hand-washed or machine washed on a delicate, cold cycle. Tulle tutus are best hand-washed and air-dried to maintain their shape and volume. Always check the care label on each individual garment.

Do you stock tutus for adults as well as children?

Yes. Total Dance Australia stocks tutus and dance skirts in both children's and adult sizes. Whether you need a skirt for a child's first ballet class or an adult performance tutu, browse the collection for available sizes and styles.
