I have this weird thing where I catch the pockets of dress pants on the arms of work chairs or door handles.
The door handles at my last job were those lever type and I once was running for the phone and caught the door handle in the pocket of a pretty nice suit jacket. Nice, but not worth the cost of three inches of reweaving. Sigh.
It took several years of karate before my body would go to where my mind was telling it to go. No one has ever heard the word "graceful" and pictured me.
Also, the short tutu makes for some interesting visual geometry in choreography. It creates a strong horizontal axis as it emphasizes the angle of both the upper body and the legs. It also makes a circle if the dancer leans over.

eta: I would have beaten ita, but my boss came in and asked me about Windows Common Language Runtime or somesuch....
On the flip side of all this, I have a friend who's naturally graceful. He rarely stumbles or bumps into things. One time he was standing on my porch steps smoking and shifted his weight wrong, causing him to slip off the step he was on. He just sort of let himself go and surfed down the stairs still holding the cigarette to his lips.
Thanks, ita. Chikat just answered the question in Bitches. Lee says thank you as well.

That's as annoying (well, I'm less gracious than I am graceful, for sure) as a friend of mine with lightning reflexes. He's the sort that can knock a coffee cup off a counter and catch it. In fact, I suspect he may knock things over just for the flair of the save.
It works. He's hot.
My pants get caught on my office door with some frequency. It's not just men's pants. For example, I'm wearing these today: [link]
Cool pants. And modern in a ... retro way.
