Rochester Tutu Tuesday: Let's Get This Party Started!
It's Tutu Tuesday, y'all, and you know what that means? A whole day dedicated to the most fabulous, twirly, magical piece of dancewear ever created! **#tututuesday**. We're talking tutus, girls, and I'm here to tell you that Rochester is ready to get this party started. Firstly, let's talk about styles. Are you a classic, romantic tutu girl, favouring the billowing tulle of a traditional, multi-layered Romantic tutu? Or do you crave the bold lines of a tight-fitting, dramatic tutu with a contemporary feel? If youā€™re on the classic side, picture that elegant pastel pink tutu, its soft tulle flowing as you leap across the stage. And those graceful, elegant Romantic tutus are perfect for ballets like Giselle, or a simple, graceful, lyrical dance piece. A bit of magic sprinkled in! But perhaps youā€™re drawn to the sleek, edgy charm of a fitted tutu? Think black, sharp, angular, almost daring! That would be a modern Contemporary Tutu or a short Tutu which can give a stunning, unexpected look to a piece. These are fantastic for bold ballets with dramatic jumps and powerful choreography. Itā€™s Tutu Tuesday in Rochester, and weā€™re embracing ALL the styles ā€“ just put your fabulous tutus on, unleash your inner diva, and let the dance begin! Iā€™m channelling my inner ballerina with a fluffy pink tulle tutu, just the right side of cheeky and definitely not taking myself too seriously, all about adding some whimsical fun into a Tuesday! I am even pairing it with a little pink disco snail on my ballet bag to complete the look.
