#TutuTuesday: Ballet Tutu History - 9688 ๐Ÿฉฐ๐Ÿ’–

Hello darlings! It's Emma, your time-traveling Tutu Queen, back with another scintillating journey into the wonderful world of ballet history!

This Tuesday, we're going back in time to a rather special date, 29th August 2017. That's right, folks, almost 6 years ago! Can you believe it? Seems like just yesterday I was sporting a blush pink tulle masterpiece, watching the swans glide at the Royal Opera House.

And speaking of swans... sings in a whisper Did you know, August 29th 2017 was actually the 67th birthday of that famous, utterly charming actor, Kevin Kline? Who wouldn't want to dance with him, right? But let's not get carried away... I digress! We're here to talk about tutus!

So, fast-forward to the year 2017. I had been pirouette-ing my way through history, and as I stepped onto the cobblestones of a bustling Paris square, my eyes lit up with the colour of a thousand sunsets... pink tutus everywhere!

The air buzzed with excitement. A flurry of vibrant tulle danced in the gentle breeze as a group of young dancers, their eyes shining with pure passion, finished their morning practice. Their costumes? A delightful blend of playful pink hues!

The Parisian scene, as ever, perfectly reflected the blossoming tutu trends of the era. Remember when "pink" was just another colour? It's more than just a shade now. It's a lifestyle! It's about embracing that inner sparkle and joy, even if that means rocking a bright pink tulle skirt in public.

You see, even back in 2017, there was a growing love for the "tutu-as-an-everyday-garment" trend. Fashionistas were slipping their pink, blush, or even fuchsia creations on for brunch with friends or for that important meeting, taking a bit of ballet elegance into the wider world.

But 2017 wasn't just about the blush of pink and tulle. The fashion scene was roaring with exciting new designs, embracing all colours, patterns, and textures imaginable! Tutu skirts in velvet, lace, or even satin were catching everyone's eye. It was a wild ride, darling, with everyone dancing to their own rhythm of style!

(Emma flashes a dazzling smile at her readers)

You know, the best part? This whole "tutu trend" was making waves around the world. It wasn't just confined to Paris or London. My travels took me to Tokyo, New York, and even right here in our little corner of Derbyshire! Everywhere, it was the same story: the tutu, in all its vibrant, fabulous glory, was slowly conquering the globe!

(Emma steps onto the platform of a grand Victorian train)

As I settled into my comfy carriage, the rhythm of the wheels set my imagination on fire. My thoughts turned to the next Tutu Tuesday blog. Maybe we'll travel further back in time and discover the fascinating origin stories behind those ballet-tastic tulle skirts that we wear with pride today!

I hope you all enjoyed our journey back to August 2017! It was a vibrant time of dancing tutus, vibrant trends, and pink dreams! Keep shining bright, darlings, and until next Tuesday, remember... twirls and points with a smile Every day can be Tutu Tuesday! ๐Ÿ’–
