Birmingham Tutu Tuesday: A Dance with Disco Dreams
It's Tutu Tuesday in Birmingham, and my inner disco queen is shining brighter than a sequin on a Studio 54 dance floor! The city is alive with the infectious spirit of #tututuesday, and I, your friendly neighbourhood tutu enthusiast, am here to tell you all about it. But first, a confession: I’m obsessed with tutus. From the classic, romantic pancake style (picture a beautiful ballerina dancing at the Royal Ballet) to the feisty, modern, fluffy ones favoured by the contemporary dancers - I love them all. Let's face it, they make every girl feel like a princess, even if it’s just for a day!
Tutues in Birmingham: The Fashion Evolution Tutues have been around since the 19th century, gracing the stages of grand theatres, but it seems like everyone's embraced the power of the tutu these days. Birmingham, in particular, has taken to #tututuesday in a big way. Just pop down to the Bullring, and you’ll see all sorts: mums pushing prams with tutus for the little ones, groups of mates going out in fluffy tutus, and even the odd granny rocking a pink tutu with pride. Honestly, it’s brilliant! The joy of tutu wearing is in the freedom it provides. You can get a little silly and experiment with style - you’re not confined to the stage any more. And Birmingham embraces that spirit! The more outlandish, the better. The classic ballerina tutu? No way, too predictable! Today, it's all about playful styles, funky colours, and embracing the inner diva.
Birmingham Disco Snails - The Tutu Twisters The Birmingham Tutu scene is as diverse as the city itself. Just the other day, I spotted a group of 'Disco Snails' #discosnail taking a break from a particularly intense "tuturology" (yes, it's a thing - we discuss tutus all the time, naturally!). They told me their philosophy: "Keep the party going! A tutu is not just about ballet - it’s about a whole mood, a sense of joyful fun!" And then there's the 'Birmingham Tutu Crew,' a group of ladies who started as a social club and turned into a fashion force. They wear tutus every Tuesday, taking a group pic and uploading it online - talk about tutu-power!
Tutu Tuesday Tips - From the Tutu Queen Now, a word to my fellow Tutu lovers! Here's a quick guide for your best #tututuesday experience.
Choose a tutu that suits your personality! Are you the glamorous, sparkly princess or the sassy, sassy dance goddess? Your choice of tutu is like a fashion statement, let it reflect who you are!
Embrace the pink! Let’s be honest, pink and tutus just go together like tea and scones. If you're going for classic and girly, nothing beats a splash of pink!
Get creative with your look! A tutu doesn’t need to be the centrepiece. Let your outfit build around your tutu, whether you want to go full-on disco, rock a retro vibe, or simply pair it with a comfy jumper and flats! It’s your chance to have fun!
More Than Just a Dance You see, Tutu Tuesday in Birmingham is much more than just a fashion trend - it's about embracing individuality, celebrating joy and being bold enough to wear your heart on your tutu. We're a generation that celebrates the 'I’m-not-sorry’ attitude. And let me tell you, there is nothing quite as liberating as twirling around in a tutu! So join me in making Birmingham the tutu capital of the UK! Don your favourite fluffy number, grab your dancing shoes and join the revolution - #tututuesday is about to get serious!
