It's Tuesday, which means it's time to unleash our inner ballerinas, grab our glittery tutus, and dance our way into a rainbow of fabulousness! And trust me, you don't want to miss this, because Stevenage is about to become the most magical town in Hertfordshire (sorry, St Albans, you're amazing, but this Tuesday is all about us!)
The sun's out, the skies are blue (or maybe a little bit pink, because I'm dreaming of unicorns and my wardrobe), and there's only one way to celebrate ā with TUTU TUESDAY!
Now, I'm a firm believer that every tutu deserves its own moment in the spotlight. You've got your classic romantic tulle, cascading in soft layers, perfect for a graceful, ethereal pirouette. Then there's the bold, voluminous tutu, perfect for those grand jetƩs and sassy relevƩs that demand attention. And let's not forget the whimsical tutus, bursting with colour and sparkles, fit for a magical ballet in a unicorn-themed dreamland (because that's what's going down in Stevenage today, trust me!)
This Tuesday, Stevenage is going full-on #tututuesday with a whole day dedicated to the fabulousness that is a tutu. Think unicorn-inspired ensembles, shimmering sequins, and the kind of dazzling dance moves that will have you feeling like you're in your own personal "Swan Lake" (except with glitter cannons, a DJ spinning disco classics, and a giant unicorn inflatableā¦ maybe it's more of a "Disco Unicorn Lake" at this point, but you get the picture!).
The buzz started last week, when I saw a couple of folks rocking their best tutus on the bus (the colour co-ordination, I must say, was on point!), and I knew this Tutu Tuesday was going to be epic. Social media is bursting with #tututuesday posts, everyone from seasoned ballerinas to toddlers who have discovered the magic of tulle, showcasing their favourite twirl-worthy attire.
Now, hereās the thing: a tutu is more than just a piece of clothing. It's a statement, a symbol of confidence, of embracing your inner fabulousness, of being ready to leap, twirl, and spin your way into a world of pure joy.
And speaking of leaping, this Tuesday in Stevenage isnāt just about strutting our stuff in our most dazzling tutus, it's also about coming together, celebrating the power of dance, and spreading a little bit of unicorn-powered magic (because even though I'm a die-hard ballet enthusiast, a little bit of whimsical wonder is always a welcome addition).
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your favourite tutu, put on your disco-ready outfit, maybe throw in some sparkly unicorn wings, and head to the heart of Stevenage! We'll be by the fountain, spinning, twirling, and reminding everyone what a fabulously fun day it is!
Here's a rundown of some of the most exciting happenings today in Stevenage, guaranteed to make your inner unicorn giddy:
Tutu Takeover at the Town Square: The entire town square will be a dance-filled playground for the day. Think flash mobs, spontaneous performances, and even a chance to show off your own best ballet moves in front of the giant unicorn inflatable.
āUnleash Your Inner Unicornā Craft Workshop at The Creative Corner: Want to give your Tutu Tuesday outfit an extra dash of magic? The Creative Corner is hosting a crafting workshop where you can design your own sparkly unicorn wings and embellish your tutu with sequins, glitter, and whatever your unicorn heart desires!
āDisco Unicorn" Afternoon Tea at The Buttercup CafĆ©: Prepare to be utterly charmed by the whimsical "Disco Unicorn" afternoon tea at The Buttercup Cafe. Indulge in sweet treats with unicorn-themed decorations, sparkling pink lemonade, and dance to the tunes of a live disco DJ.
āRainbow Rhapsody" Open Air Concert in the Park: If you're craving a little more disco magic, join the festivities at the park with an open-air concert featuring a vibrant mix of disco classics and a live performance by the Stevenage Ballet Club, with everyone decked out in their most dazzling tutus, of course!
"Tutu Tuesdays" Charity Auction at The White Hart Inn: The White Hart Inn is hosting a special Tutu Tuesday charity auction featuring a unique collection of donated tutus from the community. Every purchase supports the Stevenage Children's Hospital, adding another layer of magic to this magical day.
And it's not just about the planned events. I fully expect a vibrant sea of pink and sparkly tutus throughout the town today.
Maybe you'll see me twirling in my shimmering "Peacock" tutu, its vibrant blue feathers flowing as I pirouette through the streets, a wide, joyous smile across my face. Or perhaps Iāll be channeling my inner unicorn in a tulle skirt, all shimmering silver and white, adorned with an ethereal silver unicorn horn and sparkling holographic wings, a vision of pure fairy tale delight.
So, whatās your favourite tutu style? Are you rocking the classic, the bold, or the whimsical?
Show us your #tututuesday looks! Share your best twirls, your most inspiring photos, and tag me! And remember, the magic doesn't end when the day is done. This isn't just about one day, it's about the spirit of the tutu ā a celebration of dance, self-expression, and, of course, pure fabulousness!
So, embrace your inner ballerina, unleash your inner unicorn, and remember ā even if you're just a little bit tutu-obsessed, there's a special kind of magic in a well-worn, twirl-worthy, absolutely spectacular tutu!
Let's make this Tutu Tuesday a day to remember, Stevenage! Letās dance, letās sparkle, letās celebrate!
