Tutu Tuesday in Mission, Texas - #tututuesday

Hey everyone, it's your girl, Olivia here, and guess what? It's Tutu Tuesday! Yes, that's right, the day where I get to flaunt my love for all things twirly and tulle. Today's adventure is bringing us to the charming town of Mission, Texas, a hidden gem with a passion for dance that’s really caught me by surprise. It seems that everyone I encounter is eager to share their love of all things tutu - I can't believe how much I'm loving this little corner of the US!

Let's dive in! First up, I just have to gush about the sheer diversity of tutus here. From the classic romantic tutu with its layers of fluffy tulle to the dramatic neoclassical style with its sharp lines and structured design, I've found an eclectic collection of tutus that have totally captivated me.


Mission, Texas's Love Affair with Tutus - A Blast from the Past

Okay, so imagine my excitement when I discovered a vintage dance shop tucked away in a quiet corner of town. Stepping inside was like taking a time machine back to the golden era of ballet. We're talking about hand-stitched tutus in opulent hues of royal purple and scarlet red – stunning! This was the kind of place where tutus are cherished heirlooms, passed down through generations, a timeless reminder of the magic of ballet.

But it’s not all about vintage here. I spotted some modern styles, too – minimalist and sleek with pops of color, proving that tutu style knows no boundaries! It felt like everyone in Mission had something to share about their love for the tutu. It was like a city-wide embrace of the tulle. They all have amazing stories about tutu choices – my favorite was a high school dance student who said she never goes without a tutu when practicing. That’s commitment!


Sharing My Passion: Teaching the Next Generation

In a surprising turn of events, I actually got to share my love of tutu-dom. One of the local ballet schools invited me in to offer a short workshop for the young ballerinas there. The best part? It was clear that every single one of those girls in the class could spin in a tutu for days. We discussed tutu history, shared some of the current trends and of course had a little bit of a photo shoot to capture their fabulous twirling talents! Let’s just say my little tutu talk at the ballet school was the most fulfilling way I could’ve spent the day.
