The word "tutu" comes from the word cucu. A French rendition of the world cul-cul which means "botty-wotty" (for bottom). There is a unproven legend that the term was first used by commoners who had the lower seats in Ballet theatres and had a different angle of viewing the dancers on stage. "Tutu" refers to the area which was seen under the ballerinas' skirts.

Why do ballet dancers perform in tutus?
I'm assuming your referring to classical tutus which are the ones that stick out. One reason is so the audience can see the dancers legs. And two, I think it makes partnering easier, so when the guy lifts the girl there's not a bunch of tool and fabric in the way. Romantic tutus, which are the ones that look more like dresses are more old fashion. Hence, Romantic ballet-romantic tutu; Classical ballet-Classical tutu.
