Talk:Ballet tutu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Photo
The photo for this page should be replaced with a photograph of a classical/pancake tutu that (a) focuses on the costume, not the dancer, and (b) if it shows the dancer, must show proper technique. I'll search my archives and see if I have anything suitable, but if anyone else has something, please don't hesitate to put it in. Apologies for the horrible grammar in that sentence, by the way.

- Commons:Category:Ballerinas features tutus in nearly every picture, but also dancers. It could certainly be a temporary solution, for an image of a romantic tutu (I think I see a pancake or two in there as well). I wish I had a practice tutu around to photograph... --Keitei (talk) 21:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Wish the photos on Class Act Tutu or Tutu Etoile were available under a suitable license - they're gorgeous :-P Anyway. I know I have a photograph or two that I've taken of dancers from my school in tutus (classical and romantic), but I'm not sure where those are at the moment. I can search for them over winter break if nothing else suitable has been found by then? -- Splowey 03:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
They should make it known that the Pancake is Russian and the typical tutu without wire is English.--Swan32Fouettes 14:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I think under the heading "Classical/Pancake Tutu", the fact that it was a Russian invention should be mentioned.
I found a better image (and edited it to remove the background), though the colours are slightly distracting. I think this far more clearly demonstrates what a tutu is than the other pictures that just happen to include dancers wearing tutus. — Editor at Large(speak) 16:48, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
