Placeholder content for this accordion, which is intended to demonstrate the .accordion-flush class. This is the third item's accordion body. Nothing more exciting happening here in terms of content, but just filling up the space to make it look, at least at first glance, a bit more representative of how this would look in a real-world application.

    Workshop in tutu-making techniques

    Overview

    The workshop aims to provide specific preparation for the creation of a garment for dance, a classical tutu, developing in a short time all the skills to master the techniques of making a tutulette and a bodice.

    Through a practical and interactive teaching methodology, the intensive program, after a brief excursus on the evolution of the costume for ballet, will allow participants to carry out creative work, starting from the paper pattern and following the different stages of making. Elements of processing techniques for creating a sartorial decoration will also be introduced.

    The workshop is aimed at those who wish to consolidate skills in making a classical ballet tutu. It is also aimed at those who, already possessing knowledge with regard to tailoring and dressmaking techniques, would like to learn more about costuming for ballet.

    To apply, you have to register or login at Academy's Admission OnLine Platform (https://iscrizioni.accademialascala.it).

    Once you have registered or logged in, the system will ask you to enter your personal data and will propose the Contract Conditions for participation, a document which must be signed and re-attached and which contains important contractual details, such as the right of withdrawal.

     

    Once this step is completed, you will be asked to upload your curriculum vitae as detailed into the course brochure (if you haven't already downloaded it, do so now!) Then, you will be asked to pay the admissions participation fee, by credit card or by online bank transfer, directly from the registration screen (the banks of the MyBank circuit are accepted: check first that yours is there too before proceeding).

    At the end of these steps, a PDF summary of all the data entered will be generated, which must be signed as indicated and reattached. At this point, registration is complete and goes directly to the Student's Office.
