Rugby, England - Oh, hello lovelies! It’s your favourite ballerina blogger back with another instalment of your weekly dose of all things sparkly and fabulous - Tutu Tuesday! This week, we’re whisking ourselves away to the heart of England, to a town known for its rugby prowess but also its growing scene for artistic expression - Rugby! We’re not talking about a muddy field and scrum caps here, darlings! (Though, you can always put a feather boa on a rugby ball if you fancy! Let’s just say I’m a firm believer in expressing oneself!). We're talking tutu couture, embracing our inner sparkle and taking on the town with style! And I have to say, you rugby lads, your energy is infectious. It reminds me of the energy you see at a disco in the 70s – full of zest and enthusiasm. Who knew the rugby lads had the potential to be disco kings and queens? Let's face it, it's always exciting when there’s something that moves beyond the expected and bursts with colourful, positive vibes! Like, this week, I'm embracing the full-on, frothy, glorious tutus that you see at a big, fabulous, world-renowned ballet – with lots of pink, of course! I think you should all take a leaf out of my book and just embrace it. The tutu! The pink! The life! And be yourselves! Like I’m doing this week with a **bold, fuchsia pink tutu with layers and layers of frilly tulle that makes my heart sing**. It just adds a touch of ballet drama and magic to my outfit and shows that yes, **I can be fierce, fabulously feminine and dance to my own tune**. We've seen loads of rugby players giving the pink a good go already!

 
#Tututuesday - A Chance to Embrace Every Kind of Rainbow!
Today is all about taking to the streets (and dance studios! The gym! The pubs!), and embracing the beauty of freedom and expression, just like the Rugby community does on the rugby pitch! For those new to the glorious world of #Tututuesday, think less about ballet class and more about taking the street by storm in a tutu. We are here to turn heads and make you say, “Wow, she’s fabulous!”. It's like having your own personal dance floor wherever you go - the energy and the vibes are just bursting with creativity and joy. So how to rock your own Tutu Tuesday in Rugby? * Think beyond the ballet studio and into the world! There are endless possibilities and no limit on your tutu choice – long, short, pink, blue, or a mish-mash of different colours! Who says the rugby lads have all the fun? Rugby needs a splash of ballet in its veins! * Accessorise! Be a fearless queen or king of the tutu game with bright colours! Pink is always a great place to start, darlings, but you can add splashes of other colours – blues, yellows, and even reds - it's a great chance to make your personality pop, like a vibrant dance floor! * Have a blast and be bold! Dance, laugh, take a spin and most importantly – express your true self, whether that means sporting the newest disco styles, or keeping it classic. Do whatever feels good!

 
And I've gotta say, there’s a lot of inspiration out there from rugby players already sporting the rainbow! It just shows you can be tough and still have a sprinkle of magical sparkle, both on the field and off. So come on Rugby – take the plunge, the city needs your unique expression. We all want a world where everyone can shine – that's a whole lot better than just looking good on a rugby pitch, don't you think? I say we bring the dazzling vibes and embrace every facet of life. This is where your personality and spirit truly shine and become more than a mere sport, a tutu or a rainbow - it's about your true, authentic self, and that's always worthy of applause. Go forth, beautiful people. Don't be afraid to stand out and express your true self! That's my call to action for every Tutu Tuesday and every day of the year. **#tutupride #tututuesday**
