Fun Ballet Tutu News 2535

Dearest darlings,

It’s a balmy Wednesday in September – I can feel the air turning crisp as we head into the heart of autumn. And what’s more delightful than crisp air, darling, than a whisper of autumn leaves in a gentle breeze, I ask you?

Of course, we know what else is delightful - **ballet**, darling.

So, I thought it fitting, as September 16th dawns upon us like a blushing ballerina on the first day of her training, to delve into the magical world of tutus and tiaras!

It's hard not to love those pretty little frocks of a certain age!

So let's get down to business (and down to some serious tutu-talk), shall we?

**Why We Love A Tutu, Actually, and Why We Need One In Our Lives, Right This Second.**

Forget diamond tiaras and pearl necklaces. It's time for us to embrace our inner little prima ballerina! Now, there’s an air of absolute fairy tale-like magic that a tutu manages to exude, wouldn’t you say? Every time a ballerina twirls on the stage in that billowing white or pink (pink’s definitely better!) tutu – my dear, my heart skips a beat. I honestly think I could happily spend all day twirling about in a pink, full-length tutu, perhaps enjoying a picnic with my dearest girls. Who wouldn’t?

That twirling, that beautiful ethereal glide across the stage, and a whisper of tutus just skimming the ground. It’s something special, isn’t it?

My dears, the simple act of swirling a skirt and kicking a leg really can give you a fabulous endorphin boost. Now you may be saying “Oh, I don’t want to dance like some prima ballerina – my balance is appalling!”. And I’d simply reply “Of course, you don’t have to.”

So, what are the different types of tutus? And who can wear which?

Don’t be silly! Of course, we can all wear them! Even I’d get down on the floor in a tutu, though you might have to pry me off with a spatula (one of those handy-dandy silicone ones of course!). Now let’s get to the fun stuff:

The Tutu Styles

• **The Romantic Tutu** (And a perfect reason to head straight to the theatre) It’s delicate and dreamy and light as air, so they flow out gracefully when the dancer spins – and those little dancers they whirl and pirouette - I love it!
• **The Classical Tutu** A bit more rigid, a more precise shape than its Romantic friend and darling, these give you structure and support to leap and jump - and the little ballerina just knows how to use them to her advantage (who wouldn’t)!
• **The (Super-Dooper- Fabulous) The Powder Puff Tutu**. This darling of the ball can really just about take your breath away – a fluffy circle of beauty that the little ones are oh so graceful in - it is just magnificent. But if you don't know how to take on a tutu with gusto, perhaps this isn’t one for the first time around (my little ballerina!).

**Oh! I Do Love Ballet.**

Let’s be honest, ballet, is the very best form of dance – you just can't argue with those little ballerinas – it is elegant and dramatic. And yes, darling, sometimes you just have to stop everything you’re doing and throw your legs in the air - it just makes life so much more beautiful! It’s graceful, elegant, precise and expressive, so perfect – oh the delight! - we could talk about the sheer perfection of ballet for hours, but this article isn’t a book (yet!) - it’s a very exciting (and very special ) news update and one that calls for dancing.

So the next time you need to have fun, be fabulous, embrace a moment of grace and have your very own “prima ballerina” moment, grab that little white tutu, darling (or pink!), and let those legs soar, my dear! - you'll be so glad you did.

That’s your news update for 16th September, darlings, have a wonderful, twirling-tutu-filled Wednesday, you’re so pretty in pink! – Oh, or white.
