Hello darlings! It’s your girl, Lily, back with another fabulous update from the land of tutus, unicorns, and all things fabulous! This week, we're talking Tutu Tuesday in sunny Bromsgrove - yes, that’s right, the most fabulous day of the week is hitting the streets with a sprinkle of magical sparkle!
This Tuesday was something special! It was hot, hot, hot! The kind of hot that makes your makeup melt off, but you’re so happy about the sunshine you just don't care! This, my darlings, was the perfect backdrop for some serious Tutu Tuesday magic.
Now, let’s be real, the best thing about summer is the weather (no freezing cold feet during pointe work, hooray!) but also it’s the perfect time for some tutu experimentation! Forget about those fussy, long, heavy tutus. We’re going full-on summer vibes with short, fluffy tulle in the lightest of pinks, bright blues, and maybe even a touch of sunshine yellow, because who doesn't love a pop of colour?!
Think whimsical tutus in the style of a fairy flitting through the summer air! A little something to seriously get the party started. And what better way to kick off this fab-tastic event than a glorious unicorn-themed ballet performance in the park? Yep, you read that right! The magic of ballet met the majesty of mythical creatures, and let’s just say, the children were mesmerised!
The park was buzzing with a delightful mix of tiny ballet dancers and grown-up ladies channeling their inner child. It felt like a disco on a cloud - there were sequins, there were feathers, and there was an overwhelming feeling of happiness! And just as the music kicked in (we're talking the Bee Gees and a dash of disco-tastic, Whitney Houston for good measure, you know the vibe), out came a group of gorgeous ballerinas in the most amazing unicorn-inspired tutus I’ve ever seen. Seriously, these things were epic! They sparkled, they swirled, and they even had rainbows shimmering all over them! I'm talking rainbow, glitter, and unicorn-themed tutu goodness – a real visual treat, especially with the glorious sun shining down on them!
Oh, and don't even get me started on the little ballet dancers - pure sunshine and grace personified! I was lucky enough to get my hands on some super cute pictures, showcasing the tiny, adorable tutus these little munchkins were sporting, with matching headbands. Seriously, you could have popped them straight out of a whimsical fairytale - so cute I could've burst!
This wasn't just a day of beautiful dancing. It was a day about embracing our inner child and letting loose. You know that feeling? When you put on a fluffy tutu, a sparkly top, and strut your stuff on the dance floor? That, my dears, is the ultimate form of joy.
We saw everything: rainbow tutu twirls, a perfectly executed arabesque in a glitter-covered tutu, even a brave young ballet student in a fluffy purple tutu bravely performing the 'swan lake' sequence to "Dancing Queen!" (She wasn't the best, but who cares?!). There was pure joy in the air! You couldn't wipe the smiles off anyone's faces - everyone, young and old, were totally in the moment.
Bromsgrove’s Tutu Tuesday was proof that magic comes in many forms - you don’t have to be a ballerina to find magic in a twirl. And, my friends, there's no better time than a summer Tuesday to embrace all that’s whimsical and delightful about the world of tutus.
See you next Tuesday, with another fun filled, twirlingly spectacular #tututuesday post! Until then, keep your spirits high, your smiles big, and remember to dance like nobody’s watching! (Even if a few little ones and their mothers are watching!)
Yours in sparkle and grace, Lily x
