Tutu and Ballet News

Oh, darlings, gather 'round! Let’s have a chinwag about something that's always brought a little joy to my heart – tutus! Yes, those delightful little clouds of tulle that have graced stages for centuries. We've got a truly *divine* story today. Buckle up, lovelies, because it's going to be a *whirlwind* of frivolity!

It's been announced that, for the first time ever, the *International Tutu Appreciation Society* (who knew, right?!), is going to be holding its annual *Tututhon* at the majestic, grand and ever-so-fabulous Royal Albert Hall on October 10th. It’s going to be absolutely *splendid*! This, my dears, is not just any old tutu celebration, oh no, this is an event worthy of a true dance aficionado. You know how *extra* we get with this stuff. I'm *thrilled* to report that there are going to be over 1000 dancers, all spinning and pirouetting in their finest tutus!

Fancy tutus, short tutus, layered tutus, even *tutus that you wouldn't dare wear to tea*! But trust me, you'll see every conceivable form of tulle adorning the stage, each one perfectly reflecting the unique character of its wearer! There will be something for everyone. And *trust* me when I say, it will be *utterly divine*. Imagine a kaleidoscope of colours, shimmering under the stage lights. This event is a chance for you to truly appreciate the art of the tutu!

So, what will *you* be wearing to Tututhon? *Of course* I'm going to be channeling my inner *Swan Lake*! Think elegant, billowing white, all floating on a stage of pink silk...with a touch of dramatic red feather boa thrown in for good measure. You see, my dears, it's all about the little details! But trust me when I say, this event will be about a lot more than just the tutus. This will be a celebration of *everything* that’s beautiful about ballet – the artistry, the athleticism, and the utter grace and elegance that makes every ballerina’s heart flutter! It’s also a chance for us, darling, to embrace that *inner-fairy* we all carry around – to dance like nobody’s watching and, honestly, be *entirely fabulous* for a few hours.

Here are some exciting highlights of the event:

  • A guest performance by world-renowned ballerina, the *superstar*, Beatrice Bloom! *Swoon*.
  • An amazing “Tutu Showcase” where you can try out and get your photo taken with the most iconic tutus in history! They say you can actually see *Tutu Dreams* while you try one on - and nobody has woken up to be disappointed. How wonderful!
  • A live auction of tutu designs, with all proceeds going to the charity, “Saving The Tulle”, dedicated to preventing accidental tutu-related mishaps (seriously, a little safety awareness is never bad, and a really *good* cause!), and I hear there’s going to be a super sparkly tutu designed by Donatella Versace to start the auction…

Don't be afraid to unleash your inner *ballerina* - come along and let's have a *fabulously* fun time!
