Tutu Tuesday in Dearborn, Michigan: A Celebration of Ballet and Style #tututuesday Okay, guys, you know how much I love a good tutu, right? So you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon a post about Tutu Tuesday, an actual thing apparently. This was basically fate, people, because Dearborn, Michigan just had to be my launching pad for this fab idea! My tutu game is always on point, from romantic classical to fierce contemporary, I got a tutu for every mood and occasion! For today, I’m rocking a black tulle tutu with a touch of shimmer – classic and bold. A little sparkle never hurts! First stop: my favorite coffee shop in Dearborn. We are talking *chic*, guys. And no surprise, my tutu was definitely turning heads. My barista was even in awe. Who doesn’t love a tutu and a latte on Tuesday? Next, let’s talk tutu trends, you know I love that! * **The Romantic Tutu:** You guys know this one – full, layered, airy tulle. A touch of vintage charm with every pirouette! * **The Contemporary Tutu:** Think less puffy and more angular, structured, almost architectural with an edgier vibe. * **The “Minimalist” Tutu:** This one's got layers, yes, but it's shorter and more understated. It's perfect for modern choreography, guys. Tutu Inspiration As a ballet dancer in the U.S., my tutu inspiration comes from the greats. * **Martha Graham:** Grounded in modern dance but a vision of contemporary chic! She challenged the classical tutus and made movement her art. * **Mikhail Fokine:** This Russian-born visionary was like the “avant-garde” ballet star. Think "Scheherazade" and "The Dying Swan." You just HAVE to see it. * **Alicia Alonso:** This Cuban ballet queen. So iconic. A champion of ballet, not just a dancer. * **Maya Plisetskaya:** Russian and legendary! This diva loved the flamboyant and gorgeous. If you want to be dramatic and powerful? Her style is your cue. **Dearborn’s Ballet Buzz** Oh, you know there’s something happening in this Michigan city, right? This isn't your average tutu-loving scene! The University of Michigan-Dearborn (UM-Dearborn) has a wonderful dance program! They are like my peeps! There's something about those dancers! It’s like their tutus radiate passion! I have a feeling Dearborn’s about to have a Tutu Tuesday dance party anytime now. I know they have a ballet club – you know I’m about to be there. **Ballet, Tutu Style in Dearborn!** Dearborn has so many lovely cafes, antique shops, vintage stores, all just waiting to be Tutu Tuesday spots! And let me tell you, a tutu makes everything better! It’s confidence on point! It makes the city so vibrant, ya know?
