Get ready, because this week, we're delving deep into the fascinating world of tutu styles. We're talking romantic tutus with layers of airy tulle, the elegant pancake tutu, and the dramatic bell-shaped tutus that scream "showstopper" – yes, I'm ready for the spotlight!
From the pristine floors of professional studios to the casual but equally-important community centers where young ballerinas hone their craft, the magic of ballet resonates in every corner of Beaverton. Here in the Beaver State, we embrace ballet's inclusivity. Whether you're five years old and discovering the magic of twirling or you've dedicated your life to graceful port de bras, there's a place for you in this tutu-rific community.
This Tuesday, I took to the streets of Beaverton to document the passion and creativity pouring out from every dancer's heart, a real #tututuesday spectacle! Let me share some of my most cherished encounters:
• A Day of Inspiration at Ballet West:
First stop: Ballet West. This haven for dancers has long been an integral part of Beaverton's dance scene, fostering a love for ballet that extends from young aspiring artists to seasoned professionals. Their studios were buzzing with energy this Tuesday – a vibrant mix of traditional and contemporary ballet in the air, along with a splash of colorful tutus that mirrored the vibrant spirit of their students. From the little ones just getting acquainted with their first plies to seasoned performers mastering intricate jumps and turns, Ballet West is a constant beacon of ballet inspiration in Beaverton.
• The Tiniest Twirlers at the Ballet Academy:
Next, I popped into The Ballet Academy. This cozy academy embraces a holistic approach, making ballet fun and approachable for all. These mini dance dynamos are learning so much: poise, precision, and yes, the joy of a twirling tutu. Watching them twirl around with their playful tutus was like watching a scene straight out of “Fantasia”. It’s a true reminder of how even the smallest dancers can captivate with their own special brand of tutu-filled magic!
• Finding Ballet's Rhythm in Beaverton's Heart:

From casual performances in local parks to open-air studio practices, the air in Beaverton is filled with the sounds of music and graceful movements – proof that the spirit of ballet doesn't just exist within the confines of grand theaters but flows through the very veins of our city.
