Chingford's Tutu Tuesday: A Disco Dolphin Delight!
It's a *Tutu Tuesday* in Chingford! My trusty diary, which is adorned with a picture of a dolphin wearing a tutu - *yes, I really do have one of those*, reminded me that the 2nd of the month means tutu-tastic fun time! So, with my trusty, oversized, fluffy pink bag filled with everything I might need (think shimmering hairspray and emergency bobby pins, darling!) I was off.
And Chingford was not about to disappoint! The air buzzed with excitement as I walked along the cobbled streets. You see, this is not just any ol' *Tutu Tuesday*, no no! It's Chingford's *Tutu Tuesday*. Now, if you're like me, you're probably wondering - what *exactly* makes a Chingford *Tutu Tuesday* so special? Well, darling, I'm about to give you the lowdown! It's the perfect blend of classic ballet chic and flamboyant disco fabulousness that makes your soul feel like it's been sprinkled with pixie dust!
Here's the scoop on why you'll need to put Chingford *Tutu Tuesday* on your "Things To Do This Month" list:
* **Tutu heaven!** The town square was a kaleidoscope of tutus. Seriously, the rainbow would've been envious! We had every style you could imagine! Fluffy tutus that looked like candyfloss, super short tutus perfect for showing off your killer moves (we're talking legwarmers!), and the oh-so-elegant classic tutus, so beautiful they deserve their own exhibition! Honestly, the best part of a Chingford *Tutu Tuesday* is seeing what creativity people come up with!
* **A Disco Dolphin paradise!** *#DiscoDolphin* anyone? A real *Disco Dolphin* paradise is exactly what it is! They've managed to mix disco music, sparkly dolphins and the tutus with a fun party atmosphere, it's seriously a joy to behold! There's a little stage set up in the heart of the square, with live music from a killer DJ spinning a set that could give ABBA a run for their money! And get this, the DJ is dressed in a giant *Disco Dolphin* costume, dancing and twirling with more energy than an actual dolphin in a barrel! Now, I think *Disco Dolphin* costumes would be an absolute win! *Just saying...*
* **A community united in the name of dance** There were toddlers doing little pirouettes, groups of friends trying their luck at the Cha-Cha-Cha, and grandmas showing off moves that could make you question your own sense of rhythm - all done with infectious smiles and sheer happiness! And you know what? That's what makes it so amazing. Everyone feels comfortable, welcome and part of a giant party that’s focused on celebrating individuality, creativity and most of all, fun. * **Delicious food!** Seriously, can we talk about the food trucks for a second?! Think fluffy pink donuts shaped like swans, with sprinkle confetti (and yes, darling, the dolphins *were* involved!), glitter-covered rainbow cake that just melts in your mouth, and mini pink champagne cocktails...*what more could you possibly ask for?
Now, I know what you're thinking: "But where is the ballet?" *Fair enough, I get you.* While the main focus of Chingford's *Tutu Tuesday* is on pure joy, celebration and letting your inner glitter bug shine, the spirit of ballet *does* actually shine through. There’s something truly magical about a place where youngsters can be swept away by the world of dance, with the encouragement and freedom to explore every dance style they can dream up. I wouldn't be surprised if a new generation of budding ballerinas were inspired to start their journey in Chingford *Tutu Tuesday*! *Wouldn't that be just divine? *
It's the perfect opportunity to celebrate your individuality, flaunt those gorgeous legs, and maybe even learn a few dance moves!
Chingford’s *Tutu Tuesday* isn't just a local event, it's a joyous occasion that brings everyone together. *If you need me, you know where to find me! On the dance floor with a sprinkle-covered doughnut, darling!
