Tutu Tuesday in Folkestone: A Celebration of Dance, Colour, and Pride
Oh my goodness, Folkestone! What a day, what a glorious, sunshine-soaked day! As you know, Tuesday is my favourite day of the week, because it’s #tututuesday. Today, I, your local ballet dancer and aspiring fashion blogger, was strutting my stuff down the streets of this lovely seaside town, my pink tutu twirling with every joyous bounce in my step! You see, Folkestone has a very special place in my heart. Not only is it my hometown, but it’s also bursting with colourful characters and a real sense of community. It’s a place where everyone is accepted, where individuality is embraced, and where, quite frankly, you can wear a tutu and no one bats an eyelid. Let's talk about this gorgeous pink tutu, shall we? It’s the kind of tulle that dreams are made of! Super sparkly, a perfect full-bodied fluffy layer, perfect for those spins, leaps, and pliés. There's nothing like a classic, romantic tutu, with layers of floaty, soft tulle, is there? The ballerina look that never goes out of fashion! Today's tutu has the tiniest touch of pink, making it super sophisticated! Then I had to pair it with the ultimate statement-making, glitter-bomb pink top – perfect for some old-school disco vibes! Now, let's get back to #tututuesday. It’s not just about wearing tutus, although, let's be honest, that’s definitely a large part of it. It’s about expressing yourself, embracing your individuality, and showing the world your unique sense of style. I'm also here to bring attention to the fact that tutu Tuesday, is also about #tutupride, an initiative that encourages everyone to wear a tutu to support LGBTQ+ rights. The colour pink can be linked to Pride – think pink triangle – and the beautiful thing is, wearing pink can celebrate not just love, but how love is expressed. We celebrate acceptance and kindness by having the courage to be bold and show up in our pink tutus.
