Tutu Tuesday in Bolingbrook, Illinois: Spreading the Pointe Shoe Love #tututuesday Hey there, dance fam! It’s your girl, Amelia, back with another Tutu Tuesday post. Today, I’m taking my love for ballet and spreading the tutu joy across the land of Bolingbrook, Illinois. Yes, that’s right. Bolingbrook – not exactly the hotbed of ballet you’d expect, but with my dedication and these amazing tutus, I’m aiming to change that! First things first, let’s talk tutus, because it’s Tutu Tuesday and tutus are the absolute lifeblood of this blog. This week’s theme is “classic with a twist,” featuring a stunning combination of the traditional and the daring. * **The Romantic Tutu:** I’m kicking things off with a soft tulle, blush-toned, Romantic tutu. It’s everything a fairytale ballet dreams are made of. But let’s not mistake romantic for predictable. This tutu has a bit of an edge – a sassy, layered tulle, with the hint of an asymmetrical cut to make it feel contemporary. * **The Modern Tulle:** Next up, we’re exploring the realms of the Modern Tutu – a symphony of movement and architectural design. My go-to for the dramatic modern dance pieces. We’re talking angular cuts, bold shapes, and bold, deep colours. Think emerald green or even a dramatic navy for a look that’s truly powerful and eye-catching. * **The Beyond Ballet Tutu:** The last tutu on my list is about blurring boundaries. Think: denim tulle. Yes, you read that right! We're talking about embracing a little fashion fusion. Think playful denim patches against a classic tulle foundation or even leather and tulle for a modern edge that makes a statement. This tutu's definitely turning heads in the city of Bolingbrook! Tutus have the magical power to transform an everyday moment into something extraordinary. I love how they’re more than just fabric and feathers – they’re a statement, a symbol, an embodiment of our dance dreams. This #TutuTuesday is a reminder to never forget the beauty of a ballerina and the stories a simple tutu can tell. But Bolingbrook’s not just about tutus; it’s about the people who embody the magic of ballet. It’s the kids with their tiny tiaras, pirouetting at the Bolingbrook Dance Academy, dreaming of one day joining the greats of ballet in the USA. It’s the young adults like myself, discovering the passion for movement that goes beyond just mastering the steps. It's the teachers and instructors – the backbone of the ballet scene – working tirelessly to foster our passion, one plié and jeté at a time. Today, let's raise a glass to the ballerinas of Bolingbrook, Illinois – a diverse group of women embracing the magic of the tutu, all with the shared desire to dance! So go on, rock those tutus, find your rhythm, and don't let anyone tell you that Bolingbrook is not a city where ballerinas can thrive! From the stage to the streets of Bolingbrook, #TutuTuesday reminds us that we all have a dancer within, waiting to shine! #tututuesday #bolingbrook #ballet #dancers #dancing
