Details: Category: News

Oh darling, it’s 06 August 1996, and you know what that means? It’s Tutu Tuesday, my absolute favourite day of the week! (Well, let’s be honest, it’s a pretty special day any day of the week.) I don’t know about you dears, but a tutu just adds that little bit of sparkle and joy to any occasion, wouldn’t you agree? And today, the world is a veritable canvas of twirling and leaping loveliness!

Now, don't be thinking about those big, puffy, ghastly tutus you've seen at the local dance school, oh no! We’re talking sleek, elegant, showstopping tutus here! The ones that whisper stories of grand ballrooms and glittering stages! Picture this: the sun glinting off a perfect pink tulle tutu, the fabric cascading around slender legs, a beautiful, delicate ballet shoe perched on the tip of a perfectly pointed foot… Now, isn’t that the image of pure feminine grace and, well, a hint of utter extravagance?

This year, Tutu Tuesday is extra special, dears! You see, there's a delightful little rumour swirling about… The *International Tutu Society*, an organisation so exclusive they won't even confirm if they actually *exist*, has been throwing a secret "Tutu Tuesday ball" in the heart of London.

Just imagine the scene, darling: a whirlwind of swirling pink and white tutus in an opulent setting, perhaps a hidden stately manor in Chelsea or a glamorous mansion tucked away in Mayfair… Now wouldn't that be a fabulous, exclusive evening! And all in honour of the humble, magnificent tutu! (Just imagine, dear, that an old family secret is unveiled in that grand, chandelier-lit hall, revealing a fabulous, previously unknown collection of tutus made by the famous French *couturier* Madame La Tulle - ooh la la, now that would be divine!)

While I wait impatiently for any news about the *International Tutu Society* party, I thought I'd indulge you dears with my personal *Tutu Tuesday Top 10*. It's a small selection of my favourite tutu facts, just to ignite that flame of pure tutu love inside each of you, just in case you needed a little more tutu persuasion this Tuesday! And remember: don't just stand there! You too, my lovely reader, can join in this wonderful ballet of tutu joy and celebrate the beauty of movement and dance. Who knows? You might just inspire someone to whip out a fabulous tutu, and get their twirl on! Now here's my fab, fab *Tutu Top 10*:

**Did you know?** A tutu isn't just about looks! They help ballerinas lift off the ground effortlessly, believe it or not, making all those pirouettes look so magical and graceful!

**Fashion faux pas alert!** Please, my darlings, never try to fold your tutu, that's simply not done! That fine tulle is so delicate it will collapse in on itself, and then who will admire your delightful frills?!

**Tutus and history, oh my!** That little tutu, with its seemingly simple elegance, actually came to be a fashionable item for both ladies and gents around the early 1900s! Yes, gentlemen, even you could enjoy a fluffy tutu, although we can’t say it really caught on (pity!)

**A tutu for every taste!** Whether you're looking for a voluminous, flamboyant creation or a more sleek and minimalist look, you'll find the perfect tutu for your dance style (or even just for lounging around, if we’re being honest….)

**Tutues don't discriminate, dears!** They can be for ballet, yes, of course, but also for modern dance, lyrical, contemporary, jazz! It’s all in the creative genius of the dancer and, of course, a delightful bit of fabric to play with!

**The bigger, the better?** A fluffy tutu doesn't mean an effortless jump! (This, my dears, requires years of practice!). Although we all love a dramatic look! Just ask *Baryshnikov*, the legendary ballet star – it’s not easy to look like that whilst *really* leaping, darling!

**Who's that twirling with an extravagant tutu, hiding under a shimmering velvet cloak?** Well, it’s no ordinary creature, dear. It’s that iconic symbol of theatre and magic: the ballerina! They're those magical beings that can melt your heart with a single pirouette, or sweep you away into a fantastical realm of imagination with their elegant jumps and fluid movements. It’s all thanks to that lovely, dramatic tulle!

**Never be afraid to stand out from the crowd.** Be bold! Make a statement! The tutu has an almost supernatural ability to make every woman feel a touch *more* enchanting.

**Don’t tell *me*, *tell me!*** Tutues inspire a symphony of *Oohs!* and *Aahs!* when worn on a ballet stage. Even those who usually don't appreciate "that kind of dance" can’t resist getting swept up in the sheer artistry of the movement!

**Who cares if it’s not "traditional ballet"?** Forget the rules! Break out that sparkly, whimsical tutu, and unleash your inner *ballet queen*! Put on a little jazz, pop on that pink, pouffy creation (a little high in the air, dear! Don't you dare keep it flat on the ground!), twirl, prance, leap, and feel the power of that fluffy magic flowing through you. Life’s a stage, darling! So go forth, live boldly, and twirl into a spectacular new world!

**Right then, darlings, that’s my Tutu Top 10! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to have a proper tutu-inspired dance around my living room before dinner! I wouldn’t want to miss this exquisite celebration, after all! Happy Tutu Tuesday, you lovelies! And never, ever forget to let that tutu fly! **
