Tutu Tuesday in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho! #tututuesday Hey everyone! It’s your girl, Jenna, here from Dance with Jenna. It’s Tutu Tuesday, and guess what? I’m in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho! You wouldn’t think ballet would be a huge thing in the heart of Idaho, but let me tell you, they've got some incredible talent here. I've been soaking up the amazing ballet scene, from professional performances to adorable local studios. Speaking of amazing, let's talk about tutus! We all know there’s a tutu for every occasion. Let's start with the classics. I mean, nothing says ballet like a romantic, **long tutu**, right? Those graceful layers just sweep across the stage! But, there's also the **classic pancake tutu**. Imagine those layers of tulle - it’s almost too much perfection! And for a more modern look? **The shorter, more athletic tutu** - that’s my personal favorite - gives those big jumps and leaps such an amazing impact! Now, what about the **styles of tutus** I spotted on my #tututuesday journey? Let’s go! * **Romantic Tutus:** The ballet world in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho seems to be really embracing that dreamy, romantic vibe. I've seen gorgeous **pastel-hued**, **full-length tutus** in the most elegant styles. Perfect for those delicate, flowing choreography pieces. * **Classical Tutus:** There's no denying the **power and grace of a classic pancake tutu**. These were the stars of several performances, the **layers of white tulle** are stunning. * **Modern Tutus:** Oh, but you can’t forget the modern side! The Coeur d'Alene dancers aren’t afraid to break away from tradition! They rock the **short, dramatic tutus** with bright colors and interesting shapes! And those **athletic cuts**, oh my - they give so much freedom to move. * **Artistic Expression:** In Idaho, I’ve noticed so many dancers use their tutus as a way to **express themselves creatively.** One studio I visited even had **DIY tutu decorating sessions** for their students - talk about awesome. The results? Tutus painted with intricate patterns, adorned with crystals and even sparkly feathers. These are truly works of art, and they're a wonderful example of how the love for dance extends to artistic self-expression! Now, we can’t have a Tutu Tuesday post without some advice for dancers - or those who just love to twirl! * **Twirl like a pro:** There are so many **different twirl styles**. The *piqué turn*, *soutenu turn*, even the *single pirouette*! Mastering each type of twirl really brings out the beauty of your tutu and the artistry in dance. * **Take care of your tutu:** Just like your pointe shoes, your tutu is precious. **Store it correctly, use proper cleaning methods, and don’t be afraid to give it a little love**. A well-maintained tutu will last for years. * **Experiment with your style:** There are so many different ways to rock your tutu! **Go for a fun hair style** that showcases your personality! It’s all about finding your own dance magic! My #tututuesday trip to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho was truly inspiring! This little corner of Idaho has a love for ballet that radiates throughout the entire community. It’s inspiring to see such talent and passion for dance - a real testament to the art of ballet in America! Remember, every day can be #tututuesday!
