Disco Tutu Tuesday 260201

North Shields: Tutu Tuesday Takes Over the Tyne! So, let's get this party started! North Shields, my friends, you’ve gone and done it again – brought a touch of sparkle and joy to a Tuesday night. We all know #tututuesday is for getting those twirls in and embracing the dance in your soul. But, the folks at North Shields… you’ve set the bar high! The energy, the fashion – honestly, I'm not even sure I can do it justice. I landed in the heart of North Shields and the first thing I noticed, *that’s right, before the dazzling disco ball in the corner* were all the tutus. Seriously, tutus, tutus, everywhere you looked – tulle explosions of colour. You’ve got your classic pinks and soft blues, sure, but let’s be honest, the real heroes of the evening were the bold, statement pieces. There were neon yellow tutus, electric green tutus, and even a hot pink one that shimmered like it was dipped in starlight. And the disco snails? Well, they’re an entire other story. They were everywhere, nestled amidst the glittering crowd. I even spotted one with a sequined shell - you can't get more glamorous than that! But it wasn't just the tutus. The outfits were out of this world. I swear, I saw at least 20 sequinned jumpsuits - a *serious* look for this crowd. Then there was a real *vibe* of the 70s, complete with platform shoes (which, let's be honest, deserve their own appreciation) and glitter boots – seriously, this is the kind of place where wearing a sequined feather boa is considered 'just a normal Tuesday night'. And speaking of outfits, it was just amazing seeing people's style: people in sequins, platforms, bell-bottoms and... okay, even some people still rocking those ripped denim jackets! Honestly, North Shields, you've truly upped the #tututuesday game. This was no ordinary Tuesday - I swear, it was like stepping into a **real-life disco scene**. The tunes pumping, the lights bouncing off the glitter - I was hooked before I even took my first bite of pizza (which was AMAZING, BTW, that disco pizza place is my new go-to). The music was incredible; the kind of mix you might find on your favorite retro playlist. Think funk, think soul, think disco - and sprinkle in a little bit of Motown for good measure. The beat thrummed in your chest and by the end of the night, every soul on the dance floor was moving. And honestly, who can resist the magic of a disco night with a side of tutus? But North Shields #tututuesday wasn’t just about the music and the glittery outfits. It was about creating an inclusive and fun environment for everyone to enjoy. This was about everyone having a great time, letting their hair down, and embracing that inner dancer we all have – even those of us who wouldn’t dream of joining a ballet class. The real standout? *That moment* you realise that the whole town's actually participating in this **tutu madness**. Kids were skipping around in adorable, mini-tutues while their parents joined in the fun in their sequined party outfits. Seeing all these smiles - it reminded me why I started my blog, it reminded me of why I started dancing. The spirit of North Shields #tututuesday was just contagious. And I couldn't have been happier to be part of it! Honestly, North Shields, this is what community is all about. It's about people from all walks of life coming together, sharing a common passion (namely, sparkles, disco, and the magic of a twirling tutu), and making each other’s nights a little more fabulous. I might even *dare* to say this could be the **most glamorous Tuesday night you’ll experience in the UK**, if not *ever*. * **Tip**: Keep your eyes out for the "Tutu Raffle," a truly remarkable spectacle of sparkly, sequined joy that had me laughing my head off - the winner got to wear a fabulous, extra sparkly tutu and lead the conga line. You just wouldn’t believe the scenes – I’m already **seriously** considering getting one of these. It is absolutely worth the investment. * **Tip**: If you can, don’t miss out on the “Tutu Twirl Workshop” they put on; honestly, even for someone as seasoned in the ballet world as I am, there was SO much inspiration - *so many cool moves*. This group was amazing; we all went through it together - from learning basic spins, to understanding posture, to getting some really pro moves to wow the crowd. But seriously, let’s talk about what matters most - the absolute joy radiating out of everyone! North Shields, this #tututuesday wasn’t just a night out, it was a reminder to unleash your inner-child and go for the glitter. Go for the tutus. Let yourself have fun, even if you do feel like you are out of your comfort zone! Go on, you deserve it! So, North Shields, thank you, from the bottom of my twirling heart! #discosnail
