Tutu Tuesday in Didcot: A Disco Dolphin Dream!
This Tuesday was no ordinary Tuesday – it was Tutu Tuesday in Didcot! I'm not sure if they have official Tutu Tuesdays in Didcot, but if they don't, they should. Seriously, this town is screaming for a dose of twirling joy. Now, Didcot is known for its power station, which is fine for the people who like that kind of thing (and it is essential for our power!), but we also need to celebrate a little bit of pink tulle and twirling action! Okay, I might be exaggerating slightly, but my journey to Didcot, a small town not too far from Oxford, was to do just that. Yes, this ballerina was on a mission, and her mission was a Disco Dolphin Dream come true – to spread some Tutu Tuesday magic! My trusty pink, four-layer, classical tutu was my trusty companion, as was my record player – because the only way to Tutu Tuesday is on the dance floor with the help of Donna Summer and some sparkling sequins. Yes, this Tuesday was a *very* important Tuesday. Why? • Because it is all about *celebrating* life! • Because it is all about *shining bright* – just like the power station, but in a more sparkly, flamboyant way! • Because it is all about letting loose – a celebration of dance and laughter! • And last but not least, because there is no better excuse to rock a tutu. Just look at this masterpiece!
The Dream Starts with a Tutu: Classic versus Romantic
I always think a classic tutu makes a great choice when you want to look regal. Mine is made with beautiful, billowing layers of pink tulle, a true ballet princess classic. But if you are looking for a more whimsical style, you could opt for a romantic tutu! It can have beautiful layers of chiffon and organza with a touch of bohemian flair! I can't imagine a better time to bust out some tutu love than on Tutu Tuesday. **But Didcot Needs a Bit More Spice** As a dancer, it can be easy to be sucked into the strict ballet world of tutus, where romantic is almost always on the agenda, but the real magic is unleashing your own creativity. I felt like I needed something a bit more... disco! To be truly "Disco Dolphin," Didcot needs some funky fresh dance moves and bold styling. That's when I decided to break free from the classics and dive head first into a fun-filled sea of color! I love a good pop of neon, a vibrant shade of pink (my favorite color), or some sparkling glitter – you just never know what might take you! There are so many great options to suit any vibe. Let's face it, nothing beats an incredible tutu to liven up any outfit. Whether you opt for a sweet tutu, a fluffy tutu, a classic tutu, or maybe even a DIY tutu masterpiece, you are sure to get some stares! That is the beauty of Tutu Tuesday! And there are just as many styling options! • Think classic – team a black top with your classic tutu, a chunky black cardigan or bomber jacket. A perfect blend of elegance with a dash of edge! • Be bold – wear your tutu as a skirt! A casual graphic tee, a statement jacket and maybe a beanie for a more sporty, casual vibe! • Accessorize – statement jewelry! Hoop earrings with matching necklace! A chunky pink chain belt with a chunky glitter backpack, bright colors, and don’t forget the sparkle! • Wear your confidence with you – always the best accessory!
Didcot and its Dancing Dolphin
I might be new to the town, but I already know that Didcot has this really sweet side – hidden behind its power plant facade. Yes, even though the town was made famous by the iconic Didcot Power Station, a few weeks ago I heard a whisper...the locals told me that this sleepy little town had a local mascot, a Dancing Dolphin! Apparently, this majestic, aquatic creature used to make its way to the canals and swim around for a bit! Well, there is just one problem – a dolphin that only appears in a *very* sleepy town has a *very* boring life – it seems the Didcot Dancing Dolphin hadn't really danced... until now. I thought to myself, if Didcot needed something, if this little town was ready for some life and color, well, then a *real* dance-party was the *only* thing for the *Disco Dolphin*. And of course, *you* can’t dance properly without a tutu.
The Dream of a Dance Floor
So I thought – *this is it*, the *perfect* way to have a Tutu Tuesday with my favorite animal: a disco dolphin! Didcot had no idea how much a Tutu Tuesday *disco dolphin* dance party could really transform their town – just watch my Youtube video: You don't have to wait for a formal Tutu Tuesday, just *get your twirl on* – put on your best tutu, grab some sparkly friends and unleash that inner dancer. Do you know what? Tutu Tuesday doesn't need to be confined to Tuesday. Celebrate every day with twirls! Embrace the *Disco Dolphin Dream*. Oh, and let's talk #discodolphin for a minute, because if I can spread a little bit of my love for these dancing dolphins, I can give all the dolphins out there something to dance about! And maybe just maybe... I can start a #tututuesday trend across all the sleepy towns! Who's with me?
