Tutu Tuesday in Ilkeston: Disco Fever Strikes!
So, picture this: it's Tuesday, the sun is shining, and the birds are singing - the perfect day for a little #tututuesday inspiration. Except, this isn't your typical tutu Tuesday. This is Ilkeston, and today, we're talking disco! 💃 Now, you might be thinking: “Disco and Ilkeston? What a weird mix.” Well, I beg to differ! This week, my dear tutu lovers, we're going to channel our inner Donna Summer and belt out some disco tunes while rocking the most fabulous tutu's this side of the M1. Forget your boring, beige pointe shoes! Today, it's all about glitter, glam, and those gloriously outrageous tutus that scream “let's boogie!” I'm not just talking your average, simple tulle. Think layers and layers of fabulousness. I'm thinking hot pink, baby pink, maybe even a bit of sparkly lavender for good measure! Forget about those predictable classical styles; we're embracing the vibrant, the fun, and everything disco. To celebrate the spirit of disco and this magnificent #tututuesday in Ilkeston, I'm bringing you my ultimate guide to rocking that tutu in a disco fashion:
Tutu-licious Tips for your Discolicious Tuesday: Embrace the Colour!
Think bright! Forget those drab and dreary colors that are typically associated with classical ballet. Embrace the bold, and bright hues of a disco wonderland. - A shimmering neon pink tulle will set you alight. - Go all out with a vivid cobalt blue tutu, maybe even add a pop of hot pink ribbon! - Dare to wear a sunflower yellow tutu. - And if you really want to stand out, throw in a touch of metallic gold or silver. It'll catch the light just like a disco ball!
Get Glittery and Shine:
The more, the merrier! If it glitters, go for it. Think sequins, sparkles, glitter – whatever you can get your hands on. It’s disco, baby, so go big or go home! - Adorn your tutu with a constellation of disco balls. - Drape strings of iridescent beads across your tutu and let them swing in time to the music. - Throw in a handful of sequined fabric and embellish your tutu with playful cut-outs, fringes, and feathers.
Embellish like a Star!
This is your chance to make your tutu stand out and sparkle like a diamond. So, don't be shy, let your imagination run wild! - A handful of shiny safety pins or dazzling brooches? Why not? - Attach a few oversized sparkling pins or jeweled ornaments to your tutu. - Be brave, and don't forget about the magic of ribbons, a dash of feathers and a smattering of gems – it’s disco time!
Embrace the “Disco Snail” Hairstyle!
I've coined it, so now it's a thing. We need a hairstyle to match the glam of a disco tutu! This means embracing bunched up messy, voluminous hair. If your hair's too short, create a large, messy bun and decorate with your favorite glittery, fun hair accessories. Imagine disco balls or feather extensions!
Footwear of Fame: Don’t think we’re stuck with traditional ballet slippers or pointe shoes here! This is all about channeling that disco vibe in your shoes too! - Platform heels, preferably sparkly. Think dazzling high platforms – think seventies glam. - Sparkly flatform sneakers – yes, they're making a comeback! Add glitter or stick on some sequin decorations for an added touch of disco.
Don’t Forget Your Music!: There is no tutu tuesday disco without the right music. Don’t leave home without a disco-themed playlist! - Some suggestions? The Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, The Jackson 5. - But most importantly – whatever gets you grooving, moving, and celebrating the disco era! And of course, what is a tutu-ific Tuesday without a touch of #discoSnail flair? For those who don’t know, it’s the ultimate mascot of fun and fabulousness. Think glitter, an appreciation for glitter and sequins – oh, and that oh-so-fabulous dancing attitude. Now, you've got all the essentials – go forth, dear tutu lovers, and rock Ilkeston with #tututuesday and the disco magic you bring!
