Disco Tutu Tuesday 270174 - Tutu Tuesday Takes Cleethorpes by Storm!

Tutu Tuesday Takes Cleethorpes by Storm!

Okay, darlings, so Tutu Tuesday happened in Cleethorpes, and let me tell you, it was a sight to behold. The high street was a veritable explosion of pink, feathers, and sparkles, and everyone was in the mood to party. Now, I know what you’re thinking – Cleethorpes? A haven of traditional seaside charm, with the occasional fish and chip shop and an alarmingly enthusiastic flock of seagulls, right? Well, prepare to have your perception completely shattered because on this glorious Tuesday, the town transformed into a dazzling disco ball. #tututuesday

The thing is, there’s a reason this event goes viral. Because Tutu Tuesday isn’t just about showing off your fancy footwork (though let's be honest, there's certainly a lot of that). It’s a chance to let your inner disco queen (or king, let’s not discriminate!) run wild. The sheer creativity of the costumes is just mind-blowing – I spotted everything from fluffy tulle to classic pancake tutus. (Yes, pancake tutus. Just like a delectable dessert but with added pirouettes).

And it’s not just the tutus that make this event so memorable, no. This whole shebang is all about the community vibe. Every single person was smiling, chatting, and genuinely just having a laugh. I mean, you can’t help but be infectious when you see a grandma rocking a bright pink tutu with sparkly knee-high boots and a mischievous glint in her eye! The only thing missing was a disco ball, but hey, even that was made up for by the enthusiastically dancing disco snail who strutted along the seafront. (That’s right – you heard me right! A DISCO SNAIL! It was glorious! And yes, you read that correctly! #discosnail)

Cleethorpes? Not so sleepy anymore!

Seriously, Cleethorpes? Not a place you'd expect to find yourself neck-deep in a tutu-wearing party, right? But that's precisely what makes it so delightful! There’s a sense of quirky joy and rebellious fun to it. Plus, let’s face it – the whole town embraces the silliness, which is incredibly refreshing. Who knew this little seaside town could have such a pulse!

Now, while there’s no denying the appeal of the classic ballet tutu – you know, the quintessential form, elegant and with a soft touch of chiffon, oh my - my absolute favourites were the ones that really went all out. Like that sassy number adorned with fluffy feathers and sparkling sequins – it literally caught the sunlight and looked like a dazzling explosion. And those who went with a classic black tutu? Oh honey, they paired them with colourful accents, bright tights, and dramatic makeup – giving the iconic ballerina a distinctly fabulous and playful twist.

A moment to remember.

Honestly, Tutu Tuesday in Cleethorpes was truly one for the books. As a professional ballet dancer who's seen a few things, I can confidently say that the energy on that Tuesday was palpable. From the moment the first disco beat dropped (okay, the local bakery played disco tunes through a speaker in the doorway), the atmosphere crackled with excitement. There were so many great outfits. It felt like everyone took their cues from the greatest fashion designers on the planet, letting loose with colour, texture, and design – and the best part? Absolutely no one cared! We were all in it together.

And as a bonus, we all ended up with some awesome photos to remember the day. Now I'm counting down the days to the next Tutu Tuesday – Cleethorpes, hold onto your tutus, because I’m coming back for more of that delightful, chaotic, and utterly joyful spirit.

Some style highlights:

• The Disco Diva Tutu: I'm talking about a generous dose of glitter, some sequined detailing, maybe even a feathered boa, it screams party. Pair it with sparkly knee-high boots for a real fashion statement. (Yes, this includes a feather boa, just a light one. )
• The Princess Pancake Tutu: The classic. A timeless and oh-so-charming design that never disappoints, especially in a pastel shade, pink if possible!
• The Rock Star Tutu: Go a little edgy with this one. It's black, with some bold textures and dramatic makeup to complete the look.

I must add this, Cleethorpes wasn’t always about Tutues – I mean, yes, they have a certain vintage glamour, but I just think there’s a whole other layer of style they can add, some extra fun! Take for example some neon tutus that might be more “Miami Vice” than "Ballet Fantastique." I mean, hey, fashion is a mix of classic and cool, no?

Speaking of "Miami Vice", there's a kind of vibe, and we all need to bring it to life. You want a pink or pastel "Miami Vice” tutue for Cleethorpes, I mean imagine this. Cleethorpes is known for it's beaches right, so envision all those people dancing on the beach in their “Miami Vice" tutus, dancing to the music – that's the dream. So get that neon tutu, and rock it, like Don Johnson and the other 80s fashion icons would do. Maybe you need a vintage scarf too? Just kidding! Well, not kidding… (I do love a great scarf) but hey! that’s my style advice for today and everyday – find your fun and rock it! Don’t forget to tag #tututuesday and let the disco fever flow.

Final Thoughts.

You know, what's really lovely is the idea that this small, vibrant little seaside town could become a place of such joy – the type of energy you'd expect from London, or even Miami. This whole tutu craze - well it’s like a party we all share, and honestly – that's something that doesn't need a reason or justification! It’s pure fun – something I think we can all relate to. (and lets be honest, we’ll probably get a good selfie with it – I just can’t resist.) So cheers to Cleethorpes! I hope we have many more Tutu Tuesdays. I think we need it, especially on gloomy rainy days like this – to remind us to embrace our silliness and to have a bit of a laugh.
