Tartan mini kilts

[Tarheel]

I'm guessing the ballet kilts are intentionally cut to sit on the hips. I believe that it would be a hindrance for partner to lift, in an adagio move, with the fabric sliding up the female dancer's waist. I also imagine the length (likened to a tutu) for free leg movement during jumps, spins, etc. Did the troop give you this info?

I again jumped to a conclusion by reading the ballet sign behind the three ladies in the photo and did not connect the Highland dance performance, when I wrote my thoughts above here. On another thread (kilted Hall of Strange), the tartan tutu would be the comparison to fit my question.
