I have a pancake type tutu (which includes a body), nearly 4 feet in diameter. It is as you're saying Jamie, an odd sensation to prance around in a tutu. For the Russion type you can't see your legs, and where do you place your arms ?
I too Linda, have learned that mastering piruettes takes time and perseverance. Lately I am more and more often able to do two turns without needing to take an extra step afterwards to keep the balance. However, on some occasions my brain throws an abort!!! after a quarter turn resulting in me lying in a heap on the floor.
