Tutu and Ballet News

Oh, darlings, buckle up your ballet shoes, because itā€™s time for some utterly divine news!

It's 23 March 1999. Yes, it's a day to remember! Itā€™s not just a regular day, darling, this day is truly **tutu**-ally special! Our favorite fluffy little numbers, the epitome of grace and elegance ā€“ **tutus** - are officially getting their own day. The day they get the appreciation they deserve ā€“ they deserve their own special day, donā€™t you think, darling? We love our little tutus!

The first thing youā€™re probably wondering: how is such a wonderful thing even possible? Well, darling, itā€™s a joint effort! Letā€™s give it up for The National Association of Tutu Enthusiasts (NATE) for having this fantastic vision for the lovely, fluffy tutu! (And, darling, who wouldnā€™t want to join an association like this?! Let me know if youā€™re keen and weā€™ll start one!) And for the ever-fashionable Society for the Promotion of Dancewear (SPD), thank you, thank you for putting it out there! Now, darling, it's an absolute dream to be celebrating all things tutu on one glorious day. You bet Iā€™m excited for this celebration!

What's the best part about this exciting day? (apart from tutus themselves) Well, you can indulge your love for your favourite tutu-fabulous things to your heartā€™s delight ā€“ a little bit of glitz, a little bit of fluff! We're talking tutus in all their glory! Ballet tutus? A classic! The beautiful full tutus? So much yes! And don't forget those fab modern tutus! (Thereā€™s something special about a little bit of the avant garde mixed with classic ballerina, darlings.)

But wait! Thereā€™s more, darlings! The funā€™s not over! It's a day of splendid tutu activities! Yes, you heard me! NATE and the SPD have put together a line-up of things that are truly a little bit fabulous:

  • **The Tutu Runway Spectacular:** Imagine the most fabulous tutu fashion show imaginable! Youā€™ll be graced by dancers of all styles and abilities showing off their incredible costumes! Just you wait ā€“ it will be a total masterpiece of dancewear extravaganza. The designers are pulling out all the stops for this one. Weā€™re talking tutus with the most beautiful hand beading and those incredible fabric combinations! (And you know those beautiful lace tutus weā€™re so fond of! They will be there, darlings! You know they will!)
  • **The ā€œTutu Up!ā€ Masterclass:** Yes, darling, it is exactly what you are thinking: a fun little masterclass! You will learn everything you could want to know about making, wearing, and adorning yourself in these adorable, fab little fluffballs. Let's be honest ā€“ everyone has a question about tutus! Do we really tuck in our tights? Why does a tutu fit a little tighter than normal clothes? Itā€™s a mystery, darlings! Youā€™ll learn it all! (and letā€™s be real, who couldnā€™t use a masterclass on doing that classic ballerina pose?)
  • **The ā€œTutu-licious Bake Off:** Because no celebration is complete without yummy goodies. Just picture it, darlings ā€“ every kind of confection imaginable that will put your sweet tooth in total tutu mode! Youā€™re thinking: ā€œCake is cake! What could they do with a cake to make it extra-fabulous?!ā€ Oh, darling! Think chocolate swirls, and marshmallow-filled hearts. Think sugarpaste that looks like tutus! The options are endless!
  • **The ā€œTutu-ally Divineā€ Auction:** Of course, a little fundraising never hurts! You could bid on everything tutu! Signed ballet posters and hand-sewn tutus. Just think about the money thatā€™s going to help fund future celebrations like this! Who knew tutu appreciation could do so much good!

And thatā€™s not even everything! Now, darling, isnā€™t this all just a tad bit fantastic? Just imagine everyone, from aspiring ballerinas to seasoned professionals and even non-dancers ā€“ coming together in this big fabulous celebration of all things tutu! Yes, darling! Weā€™re living our best ballerina-fabulous lives and wearing our tutus! Weā€™re making this dream of tutu day a reality!

Letā€™s not forget: **This is going to be big, big news, darlings!** Just wait! The papers will be overflowing with fabulous articles about tutu day. The tv shows will have entire segments on this celebration! Everyone will be getting their inner ballerinas on! Weā€™ll all be tutuing together, you see!
