AndyMcDandy Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) Hey all. I am Cavalier in my dance studio's upcoming performance of the Nutcracker. Our Plum (who we're bringing in from HBII...she's an amazing dancer =D ) will be wearing a hooped tutu. We have two shoulder sits in the adagio of the Grand Pas. I can do shoulder sits just fine without the tutu, but when she put on the tutu it was significantly more difficult, due to the hoop. Is there anything that I can do to make the shoulder sits easier? Or is it more a matter of just getting used to it, similar to the adjustments one must make when a girl first puts on a tutu and you have to get used to not seeing their legs? Thanks!

Mel Johnson Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Just get used to working with it. Hoops aren't made of steel plate; they bend, and can accommodate your head adequately. Worse than not seeing legs in partnering is having a tutu with so short a basque that you have no place to hold onto her. Quote Link to comment
