Edmonton Tutu Tuesday: Where Disco Meets Ballet
Okay, you lot, let's get down to business. This Tuesday was truly **#tututuesday** in Edmonton, and it was simply fabulous! You know me, I'm all about tutus. I'm a ballerina, after all, but it's more than just the stage. It's a way of life. It's about finding the playful, joyful spirit within you, whether you're a professional dancer, a budding artist, or just a total twirling enthusiast. My Tutu obsession is serious. From romantic classical tutus with tiers of delicate tulle, those floaty things you see at the Royal Opera House to a modern, shorter, and funkier tutu ( think more Madonna, less Bolshoi), it's all about expressing yourself. This week, I'm craving disco, a sprinkle of pink and a touch of dolphin magic - the #discodolphin is calling, you see.
The Edmonton Tutu Tribe
This town knows how to do a #tututuesday right. From the classicists rocking the traditional tutu (so ballerina, so chic) to those who love a bit more freedom, we've got everything covered. From vintage ballet shops, thrift stores to pop-up events, I feel it in the air, this tutufest is brewing. This week's inspiration? We're embracing those pink, blush and mauve hues and channeling all those legendary 80s looks. think *Flashdance* meets *Dirty Dancing*. And let's talk sparkle. I spotted more glitter this Tuesday than the whole Christmas season. The Edmonton tutu tribe isn't shy of a little glam, that's for sure.
**The Tutu-fying Power of #tututuesday** Now, I know what you're thinking: "But a tutu is just a tutu, right?" Wrong! It's so much more than that, my lovelies. It's a symbol of empowerment. Imagine, a full circle skirt of flowing tulle - you can twirl freely, unleash your inner artist, and forget all about your worries! It's pure, unadulterated fun, a burst of confidence, and the key to embracing the magic of #tututuesday.
The #Discodolphin and All Things Pink
This Tuesday, I spotted a stunning seafoam green tutu with a pink tulle overlay and some seriously fierce silver glitter accents ( I knew someone in the Edmonton tutu tribe would embrace this #discodolphin vibe) It was simply magical! Then, there was that pink, vintage tutu with a disco ball motif - pure genius, I tell you. A definite #discodolphin moment right there.
Why This Tuesday was so Special
I saw so many incredible outfits. Think pink, glitter, sequins, and some unexpected touches. From bold statement pieces like a fuchsia pink vintage velvet blazer paired with a neon pink tutu to vintage floral skirts layered over tulle ( so sweet) it was clear that the Edmonton tutu tribe embraces a spectrum of style. The good news is, tutus, like great shoes, go with almost anything!
My #Tututuesday Style
To complete the #discodolphin theme, I rocked a custom pink and silver sequined leotard. It was made from scratch and let's just say it sparkled even more in the sun! The tutu, a swirling masterpiece of soft blush tulle with layers of white, had me dreaming of underwater coral reefs. And those glitter shoes! Just a touch of the 80s. But, let's be real, who can resist some disco-ball footwear? It just feels good, right?
Let's Dance into Next Week
This is why I love #tututuesday in Edmonton. This city really understands the joy, creativity and individuality that a tutu brings to your look, your life and your attitude. We twirl, we shine and we inspire others to find their inner disco dolphin! See you next week, folks!
