Tutu Tuesday in Walkden: A Day of Twirling and Pride!

Hey darlings! Itā€™s your favourite tutu-loving ballerina, Chloe here, and today, my heart is practically doing a grand jetĆ© in Walkden! Thatā€™s right, folks, Tutu Tuesday has landed in this vibrant corner of Greater Manchester and trust me, itā€™s everything youā€™d ever imagine and more!

I woke up this morning feeling like a shimmery pink butterfly with an undeniable urge to twirl. So, of course, there was only one logical option: I had to embrace Tutu Tuesday head-on. I opted for my trusty, blush-pink, tulle tutu. It's the kind thatā€™s perfectly pouffy and has that vintage feel to it ā€“ a timeless masterpiece if I do say so myself. For that extra sparkle, I threw on my favourite diamante-encrusted belt that catches the light and makes me feel like a disco ball princess!

Let's get down to the nitty-gritty ā€“ what made Tutu Tuesday in Walkden so absolutely fabulous? Firstly, the atmosphere! There was such a joyful energy in the air. Everyone was embracing their inner twirling superstar, from the mums with their toddlers in sweet little tutus, to the seasoned ballet dancers who brought out their best costumes, even the fellas sporting tutus - they really embodied the ā€œTutu Prideā€ ethos perfectly.

My absolute favourite thing was the sense of community and inclusivity. Everyone was so welcoming, no matter their age or whether they were a professional dancer or a complete novice. There were smiles galore, and a real feeling that everyone was part of something bigger than themselves ā€“ and all thanks to tutus, no less!

Tutu Tuesday is all about celebrating diversity and embracing your individuality ā€“ something we hold dear in Walkden, and I have to say, the community spirit here is phenomenal.

Hereā€™s what made the day absolutely stellar:

  • Tutu Parade: Walkden really upped the ante with their Tutu Parade. Imagine a vibrant street bursting with colour and a rainbow of tutus. From classic romantic tutus to sassy, layered contemporary styles, everyone strutted their stuff in their chosen tutu masterpiece.
  • Tutu Workshops: Need some twirling tips? The dance schools here offered drop-in tutu workshops throughout the day! You could learn some classic ballet moves, explore some contemporary ballet techniques, or simply just enjoy some fun twirling sessions.
  • Tutu Market: Whatā€™s better than one tutu? Well, multiple tutus, obviously! A fabulous Tutu Market with an abundance of unique tutus for every taste was a sight to behold. From vintage styles to quirky contemporary pieces, everyone found a piece to suit their personal flair.
  • Tutu Brunch at the CafĆ©: There were scrumptious pink pancakes and delicious pink mocktails at a cafĆ© nestled in the heart of Walkden. If thatā€™s not a testament to the theme of the day, I donā€™t know what is!
  • Live Disco Music: I simply love the way that Tutu Tuesday just naturally lends itself to some disco tunes and this one didnā€™t disappoint. The energy of disco really just elevates your tutu game to a whole new level!

I think I've made it clear how fabulous Tutu Tuesday was, but just to hammer it home - it was absolutely divine! It was truly heartwarming to see how everyone, from all walks of life, came together for the day. I must say, this one will go down in the Walkden history books.

If you are feeling inspired to twirl, do yourself a favour, grab your best tutu, and hit the town next time Tutu Tuesday comes your way. Be warned though ā€“ you will most certainly be hooked on the tutus, the fun and the utter magic that is Tutu Tuesday!

If you missed out, remember - there's always next year, but you can embrace the #tututuesday spirit every single day. Be brave, be bold, be beautiful. After all, who needs a reason to twirl? And, of course, remember to be kind to yourself, be kind to each other, and most importantly, spread that tutu pride! See you in the tutus!
