It's Tuesday, which means it's time to unleash our inner ballerina and celebrate all things tutu! 💃 This week, I'm bringing you some major Tutu Tuesday vibes from right here in Redding, California, where the dance scene is poppin' and the tutus are flowin'! I’m so excited to share this super fun, tutu-licious Tuesday with you all. As you all know, the tutu is a ballet icon. We wear them in the studio, on stage and on the streets. But have you ever thought about how they've evolved and all the styles you can find? Let's dive into the magical world of tutus! **Classic Romantic Tutu** Let's start with the classic romantic tutu. It’s got that soft, flowy silhouette with multiple layers of tulle, giving it a whimsical look that feels like pure magic! It’s a super traditional style that makes you feel like you’re starring in your very own fairytale. They’re usually made of silk tulle, and it can get very airy with many layers! These styles look great in performances like Giselle or La Bayadère. This is where it all began – think The Nutcracker and those ballerinas floating on the stage – pure elegance! **Romantic tutu styles include:** * The "American Ballet Theatre" style – a traditional, longer romantic style. * The “Russian” romantic tutu is another traditional style, made up of more tulle that creates a heavier, more substantial and billowing look. **The “Bell” or "Bell" Tutu** Okay, let's switch gears to a slightly edgier and contemporary vibe, the "Bell" or "Bell" tutu! It gets its name from its bell-shaped design, with more volume in the lower half, highlighting a dancer’s leaps, and elegant spins. Think of Carmen's tutus in Carmen! The Bell is the tutu most popular these days. **Contemporary/Modern Tutus** Moving beyond the traditional styles, modern tutus really let their creativity shine through! They’re not confined by a classic silhouette and can feature innovative, unexpected shapes! Think abstract lines, dramatic ruffles, and bold color combinations. * Some even mix different fabrics, textures and patterns! The most exciting thing about modern tutus is their potential for innovation and pushing the boundaries of dance attire. The Tutu for the Everyday Girl But it’s not just for the stage! It’s time to break out your own twirl-worthy looks!

I know we all picture European ballets like the Royal Ballet in London or the Paris Opera Ballet. But don’t forget our very own American Ballet Theatre in New York! * Ballet has been a huge part of the cultural landscape since the 1800s!
