Tutu Tuesday in Gateshead: Let’s Get This Party Started! #tututuesday #discotutu
Oh, hey there, fellow fashionistas! This Tuesday, I was blessed to experience a Tutu Tuesday extravaganza in Gateshead! I'm talking tulle, twirls, and tons of pink, all perfectly captured by the hashtag #tututuesday! 💖🎉 As a ballet dancer and blogger with a serious obsession for all things glittery and sparkly (particularly the colour pink, obvs), this event was like stepping straight into my wildest fashion dreams. **Let’s Talk Tutus:** There was a fantastic array of tulle on display, with each tutu taking the form of a mini disco-ball! Imagine this: * **The Classic:** This traditional-looking tutu (think Nutcracker Clara, but with a modern edge) came in all shades of pink - from blush to hot pink and even some shocking coral, with sparkly accents for added bling! * **The Modern:** These beauties took the tutu to another level with some fabulous contemporary cuts and shapes. Some were almost deconstructed - featuring bold asymmetrical silhouettes with plenty of movement potential. Others came with fun embellishments – think sequins, sparkly netting, and fringe galore! * **The Short & Sweet:** Yes, ladies, there were also tons of mini-tutus for the less, shall we say, ‘comfortable’ wearers among us. These babies barely reached thigh-high, and they came in every colour imaginable! And honestly? All the tutus were utterly captivating! It felt like I had been whisked away to a dreamy, technicoloured dance floor, full of dancing queens and fabulous frocks! 💃 **Disco Fever Strikes:** Of course, no Tutu Tuesday would be complete without a whole lotta disco! The vibes were immaculate. There was a playlist of classic 70s hits playing at a pretty respectable volume, which really got the mood pumping! The soundtrack felt like an irresistible call to dance, so I had a blast swirling around in my fabulous tutu - it really was the perfect outfit for the occasion! **More Than Just a Dance Floor:** I loved seeing how the #tututuesday community came together for this event. It was a real celebration of all things sparkly, bold, and just plain fun! The highlight of the day was definitely the dance competition. There was even this one incredible performer in a super bright, neon-pink tutu who was, like, basically channeling a disco snail! The judges called her "a real inspiration" - and they weren't wrong! I couldn't help but shout a "Go Disco Snail!," every time she moved! **Why You Should Add Tutu Tuesday to Your Life:** Here’s the deal: I would *strongly* suggest that you get yourself to Gateshead next Tutu Tuesday! This event will give your inner child a serious upgrade - and frankly, it'll remind everyone of what it is to dance, laugh, and revel in all things glitter and glitz! So get yourself a tutu, practice your twirls, and get ready for the ultimate fashion statement. Don’t forget to check out the #discosnail for inspiration!
