Now, my friends and I, we know that Mansfield is not necessarily the ballet hub of the USA, but we always get a kick out of bringing some of that classic ballet spirit here! Today was a perfect example. The day started off with a little "flash mob" fun at the downtown square! It was pretty spontaneous – a bunch of us just decided to meet up and show off some moves. Turns out a local radio station was there, and guess who ended up with their name on the news?! This girl! It was awesome seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces! Some people even joined in. There’s just something magical about a good tutu that just brings out the fun in everyone. That’s the magic of #tututuesday, ya know? Later on, I joined a ballet class at a small studio in the heart of town. They were giving free lessons, all thanks to #tututuesday! You could just tell how happy the students were – there was so much energy, joy, and excitement in the room! There’s something beautiful about sharing your love of dance, especially when it’s all about fun and freedom. We worked on a short piece based on "The Nutcracker," with lots of delicate footwork and sweeping arms. I felt a familiar rush as I danced—a sensation of pure exhilaration and happiness. Even with the classic elements of the piece, it still felt like our own unique creation! It was all about celebrating the beauty of ballet! Of course, no #tututuesday is complete without some yummy eats! A sweet treat and some bubbly? Definitely. After all, it’s a time for celebration, especially in Mansfield, Ohio! I am just so happy I got to share it with everyone. And that’s what’s really special about this movement. It’s more than just about dressing up, it's about celebrating dance and being joyful! Even in the most unexpected places. So, here's to all the tutu lovers in Mansfield and beyond. Until next #tututuesday, happy twirling!
