The latter for the seventeenth and eighteenth century dance drama "Giselle". The more obvious difference between the two is that the dancers wear different dance clothes, the classical school of dance clothes for the gauze skirt, known as classical tutu, dance shoes of a softer texture; and the romantic school of dance skirt long as between the knee and ankle, known as romantic tutu, dance shoes for the hard, easy to walk on the ballerina.
