Tutu Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina: #tututuesday Hey, my fellow dance lovers! It's Tutu Tuesday and you know what that means: time to unleash your inner ballerina and rock a tutu. Seriously, though, I love how this hashtag brings the whole dance community together, no matter your level or style. This week, Charlotte is practically buzzing with Tutu Tuesday spirit, and it's a sight to see. Everywhere I look, I see tutus – from classic to contemporary, short to long, and even some DIY creations. You could say Charlotte is living up to its reputation for embracing individuality and artistic expression! But for those of you who might be wondering, what even IS Tutu Tuesday? For the uninitiated, #tututuesday is a movement that started a couple of years ago – and like so many great things, it came about on social media! I don't know about you guys, but there's something super empowering and joyful about throwing on a tutu and striking a pose, you know? Whether you're strutting your stuff down the street, getting your groove on at the ballet studio, or just having some fun in front of your mirror at home, a tutu makes you feel like anything is possible! And let's talk about tutus – they are SO versatile. I mean, you can wear a tutu pretty much anywhere.
Here in Charlotte, we've got a thriving ballet scene, but this city’s not all about pointe shoes.
