Tutu Tuesday in Frome - #tututuesday

Alright, my fabulous Frome followers! It's Tutu Tuesday, and you know what that means? Time to unleash your inner ballerina, grab your favourite pink tutu (or any colour, really, but pink is always a good choice!), and strut your stuff. 🩰✨

This Tuesday, Frome is bubbling over with tutus. From the classic pancake tulle of the "ballerina bun" to the frilly, voluminous tiers of a "prima ballerina" style, we saw it all. And let's not forget the "disco tutu," a modern twist on the classic, featuring sparkly fabrics and bold designs – perfect for a little disco dance move on the cobbled streets. 😉💃

Now, as a seasoned dancer and self-proclaimed tutu enthusiast, I know that a good tutu isn't just about the fabric and style; it's about the confidence and joy it brings. It's about embracing the fun and frivolity of the dance world and letting your inner ballerina shine! That's why Frome’s #tututuesday is so brilliant. People from all walks of life come together, each with their own style and personality, to celebrate the beauty and freedom of dance – and who doesn’t love a little pink? 💗

One of the best things about Tutu Tuesday is that it's inclusive. Whether you’ve just taken your first ballet class or you’ve been twirling since you were a tot, it’s a chance to feel free, playful and joyous. And it’s not just about tutus, it's about creating a community of people who love to dance, who are confident enough to express themselves through their outfits. It's a day of smiles, giggles, and genuine excitement, proving that a good tutu really can make the world a better place.

Frome truly lived up to its Tutu Tuesday reputation today, and with everyone showing off their signature moves, I swear I heard the faint sound of a disco beat in the air. It reminded me of another favourite icon – the Disco Dolphin! 🐬 We may be celebrating ballet, but a little disco never hurt anyone, right? 🕺

What makes Frome Tutu Tuesday special:

  • The energy is just palpable. The town vibrates with joy and laughter as people parade their tutus and strike poses.
  • The costumes are a delight to see. From the traditional ballerina style to the quirky and colourful variations, everyone expresses themselves through their tutu choices.
  • The community – it brings together people from different backgrounds, all united by their love of dance and a sense of playfulness. It reminds me of the amazing sense of community I found when I joined a dance school in Bristol.
  • The pure, unadulterated fun! That's what makes Tutu Tuesday so unique. Forget the pressures of everyday life – it’s just about celebrating your love of dance and having a good time.

I may have started this post discussing tutu styles, but for me, it's about something much more: It's about feeling empowered, joyful and a little bit whimsical. Frome's Tutu Tuesday has always been a day for fun and self-expression. It's a chance to show your true self, even if that true self includes an extravagant tutu and a disco beat in their heart.
