Droitwich, Worcestershire: Tutu Tuesday Takes Over!

As a ballet dancer and a fashion-forward twenty-something, my love for tutus is pretty much limitless. And what better way to celebrate the magic of tulle than with a Tutu Tuesday?!

This Tuesday, the streets of Droitwich were buzzing with frills, fluff, and fabulousness as a troupe of us dedicated tutu-enthusiasts gathered for a whimsical celebration of all things pink and pretty. Now, if you think tutus are just for ballerinas, think again! We had every style imaginable on display: classic, romantic, edgy, even a few disco-inspired creations (à la my own!) that were positively sparkling under the afternoon sun.

My personal choice for the day? A hot pink tutu, of course, adorned with dazzling silver sequins – a nod to the disco era and the queen herself, Donna Summer. (I might even have thrown a few impromptu dance moves in the air to really set the scene – just picture it: me, twirling amidst the floral displays, a vision of pink perfection! The locals, I’m sure, were impressed).

Let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of twirling in a tulle dream! The joy is contagious, spreading like glitter in a gentle breeze. And in Droitwich, well, the atmosphere was absolutely electric! People were stopping to watch us twirl and giggling at our silliness. The infectious joy radiated like a supernova!

But let's be honest: this wasn’t just a fashion spectacle, it was a celebration of joy, individuality, and a little bit of good old-fashioned fun. After all, there’s something empowering about embracing the quirky and the colourful in this world. Wearing a tutu is a bold statement; it’s about expressing yourself and celebrating your own unique style,

Some highlights from the day? Oh, there were many!

  • One particularly enthusiastic participant, a tiny girl named Elsie, absolutely stole the show with her rainbow tutu. I mean, have you ever seen such radiant colour? It was dazzling!
  • There was even a dachshund with a perfectly coordinated tutu – this, my friends, was the stuff of legends!
  • Another highlight was a local street performer – call him The Disco Snail. This guy was rocking a seriously stylish silver disco ball shell – it was both unexpected and incredibly chic! His groove even had me tapping my feet.

I believe there are endless possibilities with the classic tulle look – think everything from a subtle romantic ballet-inspired ballerina tutu to the voluminous, disco-inspired tulle skirts worn by the likes of Elton John or even that ultra glamorous tulle dress that Princess Diana famously wore!

All in all, Tutu Tuesday in Droitwich was a resounding success – a celebration of the power of fun, a reminder to never take ourselves too seriously and a testament to the universal allure of a good twirl! It was the perfect opportunity to show off some fabulous dance moves (even if they were improvised) and simply let loose. So, what are you waiting for? Let your inner sparkle shine and give yourself permission to embrace the unexpected. Whether it’s dancing in the street or just rocking a cute tutu outfit for a girls’ night out, spread the joy and let the good times roll. Get your tutu out and get ready to have a good time!
