Tutu Tuesday in Strongsville, Ohio, USA
Hey, ballerinas! It's your girl, Jenna, here, and guess what? Today is Tutu Tuesday! Woah, did you know that’s a real thing?! And I am absolutely LIVING for it. I was scrolling through my Instagram feed the other day (as you do), and stumbled across the coolest hashtag, #tututuesday. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to get involved. I mean, come on, who doesn't love an excuse to put on a beautiful tutu? You know me – a ballerina by day, a blogger by night (okay, technically, it's more like 'a blogger in my spare time'), and a tutu enthusiast always. I just can’t get enough of the variety. Let’s be real, tutus are anything BUT basic. They come in a million different shapes, sizes, and colors. Whether it's the classic, fluffy romantic tutu like we see in “Swan Lake”, or the super edgy contemporary ones you’ll find in a show like “A Streetcar Named Desire”, each one tells a story. Plus, I mean, how can you not feel a little bit like a princess when you're wearing a tutu? Okay, let’s talk about the styles. In the world of tutus, we have options that run the gamut, each serving its own purpose. First, you've got your classic **Romantic tutu.** The name gives it away, but you can’t ignore its elegance – and it has all those tiers and ruffles. Romantic tutus are ideal for creating a dream-like ethereal effect. Ballet, and especially Swan Lake, come to mind. Next, let's dive into the **Classical tutu.** These beauties have a single layer of fabric with more structured forms, but they're no less stunning. Then there's the **Modern tutu.** With a much simpler silhouette, and more experimental fabrics and designs, it’s easy to see how this one pushes boundaries. But it’s a trend in a modern ballet that’s definitely worthy of your #tututuesday attention. As a passionate ballet dancer myself, I just want to say that tutu-ing is the absolute BEST part about ballet in the USA, in Strongsville, Ohio, and wherever else in the world. I truly feel like we're representing this magical world, and celebrating what it means to be a dancer. #tututuesday, come to life with us. Now I'm curious – tell me all about your tutu journey.
