Tutu Tuesday in Huyton: A Dance Through the Decades
Okay, darlings, so Tutu Tuesday has landed in Huyton! Now, I know what you're thinking: Huyton? A ballet blogger on a mission to glam up this little corner of Merseyside? Well, hold onto your hairspray and glitter – the dancefloor's calling! Let me be the first to say that it's definitely been a whirl of feathers and tulle! I've had more tulle thrown at me today than you can shake a sequin at! The folks here are right up there with my top fashionistas, proving you don’t need to be in Covent Garden to embrace some seriously fierce dance style! And Huyton? The absolute perfect backdrop for this vibrant blast of colour and fabulousness. I knew I had to get involved with this initiative as soon as I heard about it. Who knew there was such a hidden fashion haven, buzzing with life and individuality, all ready for their close-up? #Tututuesday was basically invented for the ladies and gentlemen who are brave enough to strut their stuff in a killer tutu. And this Tuesday, Huyton was all about celebrating this. We’re talking about tutus from the very best - think iconic *Swan Lake* and *Sleeping Beauty*, to the most audacious *Carmen*, a nod to the classic ballerina chic, alongside the fabulously OTT and downright dazzling styles you’d see on *Strictly Come Dancing.* This wasn’t just tutus. This was *statements.* Where to begin with this dazzling parade of creativity? I swear the whole town has taken to tutus like they were born wearing them. * **Little Ballerina Belle:** There were tots in pink and sparkly tutus, their big smiles almost as wide as the huge bows adorning their heads. Every dance move, a mini masterclass in ballerina chic! These adorable mini dancers are totally rocking the #tututuesday vibe and giving serious tutu inspiration! It’s definitely reminding me why I adore Tutu Tuesday – these little ballerinas truly bring the magic to the streets! * **Tutu Gals: ** There were even some absolute show-stopping ladies taking the town by storm in shimmering tutus. And who can blame them, really? From vintage elegance to disco-ready glamour, they were serving looks that stopped traffic – literally! I had to check the map to make sure we hadn’t wandered into the middle of a dance studio in the heart of London! One group, sporting fluffy tutus that were *almost* as large as they were fabulous, struck poses like pro dancers, turning every lamppost into their own makeshift stage. I saw this magnificent tutu complete with a glittering headpiece, a glorious fusion of shimmering fabric and sheer style that turned the street corner into a disco hall! * **Dude in Tutu: ** Even the fellas were in on the action, not letting the ladies have all the fun! A bloke in a bright green tutu, complete with a fetching flower crown, actually held court outside the library – a sight to behold! Now *that’s* what I call commitment to Tutu Tuesday. And it was brilliant! The boys are proving to the world they are as stylish and confident in their fabulous tulle choices as the girls. There were even tutus worn by those of us who'd only dreamed of a pirouette. It was all about playful, fun fashion. A fabulous reminder that tutus aren't just for the dance floor. As you'll know if you follow me on Instagram – tutus can add a dash of sparkle to every day - a total power move, right? But who can blame them for grabbing their best tulle to rock this spectacular day? Of course, no Tutu Tuesday is complete without the #discosnail – an adorable little creature who loves nothing more than dancing his shell off in the heart of the action. You can always count on #discosnail for a dance move worthy of the biggest stage! We can all learn from him – he truly owns the tutu and wears it with the biggest personality in the town. Why Tutu Tuesday? It's more than just a trend – it’s about celebrating life and letting your inner star shine. No matter what age, gender or size you are, we all deserve to feel a little fabulous. And in Huyton, everyone’s getting into it – from the smallest dancers, strutting their stuff in tutus the size of pinwheels, to the ladies bringing serious sequins to the streets. Let's give Huyton a big round of applause for showing us that even a simple tutu can be the starting point for some truly unforgettable style! And if you haven’t got a tutu to wear, find some feathers, some tinsel and embrace the bold fashion moment. Don't just be a spectator, join the fun and let your inner ballerina shine. Don't be a wallflower, rock a tutu and tell the world: This is me and this is how I do #tututuesday!
