Tutu Tuesday in Burien, Washington! #tututuesday It's Tutu Tuesday, my favorite day of the week! As a professional ballet dancer living in the heart of the Seattle area, I’m always on the lookout for creative ways to incorporate my love of dance into everyday life. This week, I'm bringing Tutu Tuesday to Burien, Washington, a charming town with a vibrant arts scene! So, grab your coffee and get ready to be inspired! **Tutu Trends in the Pacific Northwest** From the classic to the contemporary, tutus in the United States have seen some seriously cool transformations. Here in the Pacific Northwest, the vibe leans towards sustainability and a bit of whimsical edge. • **Recycled and Upcycled Tutues:** Let’s talk about eco-friendly fashion. There's a growing movement for repurposing old tutus and giving them new life! You’ll see this reflected in vintage clothing stores, online marketplaces, and even DIY projects. • **Tulle Textures:** Tulle is the key ingredient for all tutus, but this fabric comes in a ton of textures and finishes! For a fun take, I'm experimenting with textured tulle like crinkle, sequins, and even a touch of velvet for extra glam. • **Color Exploration:** The Pacific Northwest inspires with its vast natural beauty. Lush forests and mountains influence my palette choice. Imagine emerald greens, rich sapphire blues, and pops of lavender - just as beautiful on a tutu as they are on the scenery! • **Twirl Power:** Don't underestimate the impact of a well-constructed tutu! In the studio, it allows for dynamic movement and freedom. Out in the real world, I can't help but twirl and dance! It’s just natural, like an instinct. **My Tutu Tuesday Adventure in Burien** Today, I'm hitting the streets of Burien, starting with the local farmers market. This is a treasure trove for inspiration and discovering hidden gems. I plan on picking up a bouquet of fresh flowers and locally made chocolates, both of which would look fabulously styled with my tutu. I also want to find unique fabrics and materials - maybe I'll score a new piece of lace or an interesting tulle. I always encourage my fellow tutu enthusiasts to embrace their individual style, and Burien's atmosphere just adds a delightful dose of inspiration to this creative process. Speaking of unique style, I'm keeping my tutu on this week and taking it to The Blue Gallery on the Burien waterfront! This art space is well known for its diverse art scene and eclectic vibe. I'm sure my outfit will spark some interesting conversations! And no Tutu Tuesday in Burien would be complete without visiting The Burien Farmers Market at the Burien Town Square! You can bet I’ll be showcasing my love of ballet with a flash mob of tutued locals! **Spread the Tutu Love #tututuesday** It's all about embracing the spirit of creativity and finding joy in expressing yourself! So go out there, wear a tutu with pride, and embrace your inner ballerina! You never know, maybe you’ll inspire someone to try out ballet or create a masterpiece with tulle. Tag your photos #tututuesday and share your tutu journey on social media. It's time to bring some ballet to Burien and show the world what Tutu Tuesday is all about!
