Tutu designed and built by Carole Sabiston on behalf of Dance Victoria

The Pacific Ocean and coastal scenery of Victoria, British, Columbia, inspired the creation of this tutu. Watery blue and greens swirling together with the white tulle mimic the ocean’s waves, while sailboats gracefully pirouette across the surface of the blue water against the backdrop of the rocky coastline of the tutu’s waistband.
Dance Victoria brings the world’s best dance companies to the stage at the Royal Theatre and, with its comprehensive Dance Futures programs, fosters the professional and creative development of this community at Dance Victoria Studios.
