Comment by Beatriz Lupiano on March 26, 2010 at 10:34am: Thanks for your answers. It's very interesting.

Comment by Marina Polakoff on March 24, 2010 at 8:22pm: It does weight a bit more, because of the construction. We wanted it to be sturdy and to diffuse the lights a lot. So we had to make the tutu thick, like a flat empty cylinder 1'' high.
The electronics part does not weight much.

Thank you for your comments and questions about it.

Comment by Beatriz Lupiano on March 24, 2010 at 7:42pm: Thanks for the link! I enjoyed the full version very much!!! Does the tutu weigh much more than regular ones?

It's great to see all those colours follow the music.
