Tutu Tuesday in Lincoln Park, Michigan: A Tutu Tale! #tututuesday

Hey dance fam! It's your girl, Blair, back with another Tutu Tuesday, and guess where I am? That's right, Lincoln Park, Michigan! This vibrant town is steeped in history, boasts stunning architecture, and has an undeniable energy that's truly inspiring. While we're here for some much-needed exploration, it's only fitting we celebrate Tutu Tuesday, Lincoln Park style!

So, let's get this party started! To my fellow dancers, this week, let's rock a classic, romantic, single-layered tutu with delicate layers of tulle - the perfect nod to the romantic aura of this city. Think ballerina pink and delicate embroidery, with a sprinkle of sparkles for good measure! Now, for those feeling a little extra, embrace a dramatic, multi-layered tutu – think the vibrant energy of this town. Embrace bold colours and even experiment with some playful pattern! You can add some dramatic lace for a timeless yet contemporary touch! And remember, whether you’re in the studio or rocking the streets, don't forget to let your personality shine through! We love a tutu transformation - from graceful ballerina to street-style queen. And remember, there's no wrong way to embrace the magic of #tututuesday!
