Tutu Tuesday in Scarborough: A Celebration of Colour, Creativity, and Pride

It's a glorious Tuesday morning here in Scarborough and the sun is shining! You know what that means – it's #TUTU Tuesday, the day where we celebrate all things pink, sparkly and fabulous.

As a professional dancer and, let's be honest, a total tutu enthusiast, I love seeing the creative ways that people express themselves through these beautiful pieces of fabric. And there's no better place to do that than right here in Scarborough, a seaside town that embraces a spirit of inclusivity and fun.

From classic tulle tutus to playful contemporary styles, the creativity on display today is truly inspiring. My favourite? The vintage-style tutus with the layers and layers of tulle - there's nothing quite like the feeling of twirling in a billowing cloud of fabric! I've seen people with colourful, patterned, sequined and striped tutus. It's a total celebration of colour, creativity, and pride. The rainbow colours definitely reflect the positive LGBTQ+ energy that vibrates through the town, making Scarborough even more special!

This #TUTU Tuesday, let's embrace our inner ballerina (or drag queen!). Let's dance the day away in our twirly masterpieces. We'll rock the streets of Scarborough like we own the place!

Here are some of the highlights from my #TUTU Tuesday in Scarborough:

  • A group of friends in matching pink tutus and shimmering tiaras. Talk about "Girl Power!"
  • A local business owner proudly wearing a lavender-coloured tutu as he served customers, adding a whimsical touch to his day.
  • A dad rocking a blue and white striped tutu, totally game for some twirls with his little girl - what a legend!
  • A dog, yes you read that right, sporting a miniature pink tutu, looking absolutely adorable while prancing down the street with its owner.

And the most heartwarming sight? A group of people doing a flash mob, all wearing pink tutus, to the tune of “I Will Survive” - truly a reminder that life is best lived with a smile and a good dance!

The energy on #TUTU Tuesday in Scarborough is infectious. This seaside town has proven once again that it’s a place that embraces individuality, creativity, and self-expression. We celebrate all kinds of individuals. I truly feel like Scarborough’s vibrant spirit has something to offer everyone. It’s no wonder why #TUTU Tuesday was such a success – this town really is a haven of kindness and happiness. It’s a place to be yourself, no matter what!

Now, who’s up for a trip to Scarborough to experience the magic of #TUTU Tuesday for themselves? Just be warned - you might just get caught up in the fun!
